Dans un mode de réalisation, l'appareil comprend un système (10) de distribution de fluide de stimulation de puits comprenant un raccord d'entrée (90) pour la réception de fluide de stimulation de puits et un premier conduit (136) conçu pour acheminer le fluide de stimulation de puits du raccord d'entrée à de multiples raccords de sortie (84) conçus pour être raccordés à des pompes (54) pour l'augmentation de la pression du fluide de stimulation de puits. Un second conduit (138) de l'appareil est conçu pour recevoir le fluide de stimulation de puits provenant des pompes, par l'intermédiaire de multiples raccords d'entrée (94) conçus pour être raccordés aux pompes et pour acheminer le fluide de stimulation de puits à un raccord d'évacuation (124, 128). L'appareil comprend également des châssis mobiles individuels (38, 40, 42) comprenant des plates-formes (76, 104, 114) sur lesquelles sont montés des segments de conduit de fluide. Les châssis mobiles individuels sont accouplés les uns aux autres par l'intermédiaire de leurs segments de conduit de fluide montés pour former le premier conduit et le second conduit.
