Abstract
A coupling for use with a continuous rod and a reel, and a method of using the coupling to coil a continuous rod on the reel. The coupling includes a threaded box portion for threadedly connecting with an uphole pin end of the continuous rod. The coupling includes a connector for securing the coupling to the reel. Once secured to the reel by the coupling, the continuous rod can be coiled around the reel by rotation of the reel. In an example application, the connector may include a ring for securing the coupling to an outside guide pin of a collapsible service reel.
Claims41
A method of coiling a continuous rod onto a reel, the method comprising:
- threadedly connecting a coupling to an uphole pin end of the continuous rod;
- securing the coupling to the reel;
- and
- rotating the reel to coil the continuous rod onto the reel.
A coupling for securing a continuous rod to a reel, the coupling comprising:
- a body;
- a threaded box defined in the body for receiving a threaded pin end of the continuous rod;
- and
- a connector extending from the body for connecting the coupling to the reel.
