US Patent:

Filed:

Nov 13, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/711733

Inventors:

Troy D. Cain - Burleson TX
John E. Goode - Arlington TX

Assignee:

Varco I/P, Inc. - Houston TX

International Classification:

B65H 7530

US Classification:

242394, 242596, 242613

Abstract:

A spool for carrying continuous pipe or coiled tubing for a coiled tubing injector is dropped into a stand at a site and coupled to a rotary power source. The stand includes two axles, on either side of the spool, and a drive plate. The spool includes on each side a supporting hub with slot that allows the axle to slide into the hub and the slot to be closed. At the same time, a coupling member on the drive plate slides into a mating contact with a complementary coupling member on the spool. Thus, the spool is mounted and coupled to a rotary power source with comparative ease and quickness, facilitating use of multiple spools for both transportation and operation at the well site.

Appl. No.:

10/132139

Inventors:

Timothy Steffenhagen - Fort Worth TX, US
David McCulloch - Arlington TX, US
John Goode - Arlington TX, US

Assignee:

Varco I/P, Inc. - Houston TX

International Classification:

E21B019/22

US Classification:

166/077300, 226/172000

Abstract:

A flow-limiting device is placed in a hydraulic fluid circuit between a hydraulic pump of, for example, a power pack, and a motor of a coiled tubing injector. The flow-limiting device allows hydraulic fluid to flow through the circuit, but limits the rate of flow in order to avoid thermal damage to the motor.

International Classification:

E21B 41/00

US Classification:

166379, 2482051, 166 772

Abstract:

A coiled tubing support guide for maintaining an arch in a length of coiled tubing as it is unwound from a storage reel and feed into a coiled tubing injector connected with a wellhead is mounted to an elongated support structure rather than to the coiled tubing injector. The elongated support structure bears a load created by tension placed on the coiled tubing by the reel, thereby avoiding putting a bending moment on the wellhead. In alternate embodiment, a coiled tubing injector being held by a hoist line from the elongated support structure is coupled to the elongated support structure with a bending-resistant coupling that permits relative rotation of the coiled tubing injector.
