Abstract
A fluid connector for connecting a fluid source to supply fluid to conduct downhole operations in a plurality of wells is provided. The fluid connector has a fluid conduit with first and second fluid inlets and a plurality of fluid outlets connecting the fluid source to the wells. The fluid outlets are connected in series between the first and second fluid inlet. The fluid conduit defines a flow path between each fluid inlet and each fluid outlet, and in operation, the first and second fluid inlets are connected to receive fluid from the fluid source, and the fluid outlets are connected to supply fluid to the wells. The fluid connector also has a plurality of isolation valves connected downstream of each fluid outlet relative to the first and second fluid inlets, and the fluid is selectively supplied to the wells by opening and closing the isolation valves.
