Abstract
A spoolable CT connector assembly includes a first connector body for connecting with a first CT string, a second connector body for connecting with a second CT string that is separate from the first CT string, and a pivotable connector pivotably coupled between the first connector body and the second connector body wherein the pivotable connector slidably connects the first connector body with the second connector body.
Claims24
A spoolable coiled tubing (CT) connector assembly, comprising:
- a first connector body configured to connect with a first CT string;
- a second connector body configured to connect with a second CT string that is separate from the first CT string;
- and
- a pivotable connector pivotably coupled between the first connector body and the second connector body wherein the pivotable connector slidably connects the first connector body with the second connector body.
A spoolable coiled tubing (CT) connector assembly, comprising:
- a first connector body configured to connect with a first CT string, the first connector body having a first central axis;
- a second connector body configured to connect with a second CT string that is separate from the first CT string, the second connector body having a second central axis;
- and
- a pivotable connector pivotably coupled between the first connector body and the second connector body wherein the pivotable connector permits the second connector body to rotate freely relative to the first connector body.
A spoolable coiled tubing (CT) connector assembly, comprising:
- a first connector body configured to connect with a first CT string, the first connector body having a first central axis;
- a second connector body configured to connect with a second CT string that is separate from the first CT string, the second connector body having a second central axis;
- and
- a joint body having a first end coupled to the second connector body whereby relative movement is restricted therebetween, and a second end defining a pivotable connector that pivotably connects the joint body with the first connector body to permit relative movement therebetween.
