Abstract
The disclosure provides an adjustable modular skid system with a plurality of skid modules to support oil field fluid components, such as manifolds, mixing blocks, collection blocks, fracturing pumps, piping and connections, and other devices used to transport water, sand slurries, gas, oil, or other fluids in oil field applications. The skid system has vibration adjusting features. The skid modules can be coupled together through piping and relevant connections at the well site. If appropriate, the skid modules can be supported on pilings or other foundational supports. The system can be assembled remotely, started and tested, partially disassembled into the skid modules, and then installed at the well site with minimal additional effort by generally providing lines and connections between the modules. Excessive vibrations in the system can be reduced by adjusting an overall stiffness of the system to change a natural frequency of the system.
