Deployment of umbilical with tubular string

A method of deploying an umbilical with a tubular string into a subterranean well, the method comprising:

• extending a telescoping arm upward relative to a floor of a well rig, in which a base of the telescoping arm is positioned within an outer circumference of a spider mounted in the floor of the well rig;
• pivoting an upper end of the telescoping arm toward the tubular string;
• then clamping the umbilical to the tubular string;
• lowering the tubular string;
• telescopically retracting the telescoping arm and pivoting the upper end of the telescoping arm away from the tubular string;
• and
• applying torque to a connection in the tubular string.

A system for deploying an umbilical with a tubular string into a subterranean well, the system comprising:

• a telescoping arm having a rotatable means for guiding the umbilical at a first end of the telescoping arm, and a pivot at a second end of the telescoping arm;
• the telescoping arm being rotatable about the pivot relative to a spider of a hang-off assembly;
• and
• an actuator operative to rotate the telescoping arm about the pivot, the actuator having first and second opposite ends, the actuator first end being connected to the telescoping arm, and the actuator second end being positioned within an outer circumference of the spider.
