Patent ID: 7621324

Claim:
An automatic flowback system for providing a controlled flowback from a wellbore after a treatment procedure, the system comprising: at least one telescopic expansion coupling with adjusting lengths adequate to compensate for variations between two points for adjusting and installing between the two points for high pressure fluid flow from the wellbore; at least one blast barrel for containing and controlling the high pressure fluid flow from the wellbore, the at least one blast barrel comprising at least one nipple, at least one insert with a chosen orifice size for multiple chambered ports disposed on an inner flow tube and further comprising an outer chamber for containing a fluid breach from said inner flow tube, said outer chamber being configured to expose the at least one nipple and at least one insert and said inner flow tube for maintenance by rotating said outer chamber without dismantling the at least one blast barrel from connected high pressure lines; and a monitoring and communication apparatus for monitoring pressures by sensors disposed on the flowback system, for transmitting the monitored pressures and for remotely operating valves in the flowback system.
