Abstract
The disclosure provides a collection block that aggregates multiple incoming flow lines and provides a consolidated outgoing flow path. The collection block can be remote from a given well that is being fractured to minimize safety risk in operations around the well. The collection block has dual capabilities of being connected to individual incoming flow lines as well as to manifold systems for distributing the out flowing fluids. The one or more inlets can be formed in the collection block at an offset to a centerline of a longitudinal bore through the collection block. In some to embodiments, frac trucks can connect along an extended connection zone that provides the fluids from the truck to the collection block.
