Abstract:
A connection assembly for automated lifting and positioning of a chiksan or other fluid conduit in proximity to a fluid inlet of a device such as, for example, a cement or hydraulic fracturing head. Once a chiksan or other flow line is positioned in a desired location, a secure connection is made between the outlet of the chiksan or other fluid conduit and the fluid inlet including, without limitation, when the device is positioned at an elevated location above a rig floor.

Claim (Index 11):
A method for connecting a distal end of a fluid conduit to a fluid inlet of a cementing or fracturing tool, wherein said fluid inlet of said cementing or fracturing tool is positioned at an elevated location in a drilling rig derrick, comprising:\n a) attaching a stinger member to said distal end of said fluid conduit, wherein said stinger member has at least one outlet port; b) providing an inlet receptacle in fluid communication with said fluid inlet of said cementing or fracturing tool; c) lifting said stinger member and distal end of said fluid conduit with a winch assembly until said stinger member is at least partially received in said inlet receptacle, wherein said winch assembly comprises:\n i) a rotatable winch drum operationally attached to said cementing or fracturing tool, wherein said rotatable winch drum is disposed at said elevated location within said drilling rig derrick; and \n ii) a cable having a first end, a second end and a length, wherein said first end is operationally attached to said winch drum, said second end is operationally attached to said stinger member and a portion of said cable is wrapped around said winch drum; and \n d) opening a valve assembly to open said at least one outlet port of said stinger member.
