ABSTRACT:
A telescoping boom assembly supported articulated well service pipeline for the transfer of pressurized fluids from service vehicles to petroleum wellheads for the treatment and stimulation of production oil wells. The boom assembly is mounted on a truck, trailer, or other suitable mobile transport, and the articulated pipeline comprises a plurality of long straight pipeline sections interconnected by a plurality of shorter pipe sections and by swivel joints. The inboard end of the pipeline is connected to a supply line by an inboard pipe and a pair of swivel joints. The pipeline can be folded into a cluster and tilted for storage adjacent the inboard end of the boom assembly and the clustered pipeline moved away from the service vehicle before unfolding the pipeline from the cluster. Retaining the pipeline in a compact cluster while moving the clustered pipeline between the storage position and a position beside the service vehicle provides an extra amount of clearance between the service vehicle and the pipeline to prevent a collision with any obstacle on the service vehicle.
