Abstract
An apparatus for conducting earth borehole operations, comprising a base, a mast mounted on the base, and an integrated unit comprising a top drive and a coil tubing injector carried by the mast for longitudinal movement therealong. The top drive has an opening therethrough whereby coil tubing from the injector can pass through the top drive. There is a guide for coil tubing, the guide being selectively releasably connected to the coil tubing injector and mounted on the mast and selectively movable between a first position wherein coil tubing from the guide can be stabbed into the injector and a second position wherein coil tubing from the guide is out of alignment with the coil tubing injector.
Claims4
An apparatus for conducting earth borehole operations comprising:
- a base;
- a mast mounted on the base;
- an integrated unit comprising a top drive and a coiled tubing (CT) injector carried by said mast for simultaneous, longitudinal movement therealong, said CT injector being above said top drive, said top drive having an opening therethrough whereby coiled tubing from said injector can pass through said top drive;
- and
- a guide for CT, said guide being selectively releasably connected to said CT injector, said guide being mounted on said mast and selectively movable between a first position wherein CT from said guide can be stabbed into said CT injector while said CT injector is in said mast and a second position wherein CT from said guide is out of alignment with said CT injector while said CT injector is in said mast.
