Abstract
A coiled tubing transport unit includes a coiled tubing reel unit, a guide sleeve coupled to the coiled tubing reel unit, and a corresponding arm coupled to the coiled tubing transport unit, wherein the arm is retractable or extendable from the guide sleeve, and a hydraulic cylinder coupled between the coiled tubing reel unit and the transport unit. The arm retracts or extends from the guide sleeve when the hydraulic cylinder is actuated to push or pull against and move the coiled tubing reel unit along a length of the coiled tubing transport unit.
Claims20
A coiled tubing transport unit comprising:
- a coiled tubing reel unit;
- a guide sleeve coupled to the coiled tubing reel unit, and a corresponding arm coupled to the coiled tubing transport unit, wherein the arm is retractable or extendable from the guide sleeve;
- and
- a hydraulic cylinder coupled between the coiled tubing reel unit and the transport unit,
- wherein the arm retracts or extends from the guide sleeve when the hydraulic cylinder is actuated to push or pull against and move the coiled tubing reel unit along a length of the coiled tubing transport unit.
A coiled tubing transport unit comprising:
- a coiled tubing reel;
- a horizontal shifting mechanism coupled to the coiled tubing reel, the shifting mechanism comprising:
- a first sleeve having a corresponding arm that is retractable or extendable from the first sleeve, wherein the first sleeve and corresponding arm are coupled between the coiled tubing reel unit and the transport unit, and
- a second sleeve having a corresponding arm that is retractable or extendable from the second sleeve, wherein the second sleeve and corresponding arm are coupled between the coiled tubing reel and the transport unit,
- wherein the horizontal shifting mechanism is configured to move the coiled tubing reel along a length of the coiled tubing transport unit.
A coiled tubing transport unit comprising:
- a coiled tubing reel;
- a horizontal shifting mechanism coupled to the coiled tubing reel, wherein the horizontal shifting mechanism is configured to move the coiled tubing reel along a length of the coiled tubing transport unit,
- wherein the horizontal shifting mechanism comprises dual mechanical actuators coupled between the coiled tubing reel and the coiled tubing transport unit.
A coiled tubing transport unit comprising:
- a coiled tubing reel unit;
