Plug and pump system for routing pressurized fluid

Abstract

A plug and pump system for routing pressurized fluid from a fluid source is disclosed. The system includes a platform and a docking station interface mounted on the platform and including multiple points of articulation. A wellhead interface is mounted on the platform and includes multiple points of articulation. The docking station interface and the wellhead interface are configured to route pressurized fluid from a fluid source.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A pressure-locking swivel assembly, comprising:
 a first hub having a first cavity extending therethrough;   a second hub having a second cavity extending therethrough, the second hub disposed generally opposite the first hub; and   an external retainment assembly disposed about a first hub portion of the first hub and a second hub portion of the second hub;   wherein at least one of the first and second hubs is rotatable when the first and second hubs do not bear an internal fluid pressure, and wherein rotation of the at least one of the first and second hubs is inhibited when the first and second hubs bear a second internal fluid pressure.   
     
     
         2 . The pressure-locking swivel assembly of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the first hub portion comprises a first angled portion and the second hub portion comprises a second angled portion; and   when the first and second hubs bear the second internal fluid pressure, the rotation of the at least one of the first and second hubs is inhibited, at least in part, by the first angled portion and second angled portion being forced against the external retainment assembly.   
     
     
         3 . The pressure-locking swivel assembly of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an alignment ring interfacing the first and second hubs to facilitate spacing between the external retainment assembly and the first and second hubs.   
     
     
         4 . The pressure-locking swivel assembly of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a seal-retaining member between the first and second hubs.   
     
     
         5 . The pressure-locking swivel assembly of  claim 4 , further comprising:
 a first seal interfacing the first hub and the seal-retaining member; and   a second seal interfacing the second hub and the seal-retaining member.   
     
     
         6 . The pressure-locking swivel assembly of  claim 3 , further comprising:
 a first seal interfacing the first hub and the seal-retaining member; and   a second seal interfacing the second hub and the seal-retaining member.   
     
     
         7 . The pressure-locking swivel assembly of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the external retainment assembly further comprises two or more retainer portions; and   the pressure-locking swivel assembly further comprises a containment ring having one or more internal surfaces that bear against the two or more retainer portions.   
     
     
         8 . The pressure-locking swivel assembly of  claim 7 , further comprising:
 a retainment ring between the containment ring and the first or second hub.
