Abstract: A jumper manifold for use in a fracing system including a first outlet interface for coupling to a first outlet line, a second outlet interface for coupling to a second outlet line, and an inlet interface for coupling to an inlet line carrying a slurry under pressure. A jumper, in a first configuration, couples the inlet interface with the first outlet interface for transporting slurry from the inlet line to the first outlet line while isolating the second outlet line. The jumper, in a second configuration, couples the inlet interface with the second outlet interface for transporting slurry from the inlet line to the second outlet line while isolating the first outlet line.

Abstract: A system includes a foundation with a post mounted on the foundation top surface and a pipe module configured to couple to the foundation. The pipe module has a yoke to cooperate with the post to engage the pipe module with the foundation. The pipe module is connected to the end of a pipeline and is configured to slide along the foundation responsive to longitudinal and angular movements of the end of the pipeline.
A method includes deploying a foundation subsea and securing the foundation to a seafloor. The foundation has a post. The method includes deploying the pipe module via the pipeline suspended by a pipe module installation machine. The pipe module has a yoke. The method includes engaging the yoke with the post, paying out the pipeline to lower the yoke, and lowering and engaging the pipe module with the foundation.
