Method and device to clamp control lines to tubulars

A method of securing a control line to a tubular string comprising:

• providing a clamp handling assembly having a clamp member releasably attached thereto;
• positioning the control line adjacent the tubular string;
• moving the clamp handling assembly toward the tubular string to position the clamp member adjacent the control line and tubular string;
• securing the control line to the tubular string by using the clamp member;
• and
• moving the clamp handling assembly away from the tubular string.

An apparatus for securing a control line to a tubular string, the apparatus comprising:

• a clamp handling boom;
• a clamp member releasably attached to the clamp handling boom;
• and
• a motive member configured to move the clamp handling boom between a staging position and a clamping position adjacent the tubular string, where the clamp member is detachable from the clamp handling boom for securing the control line to the tubular string.

An apparatus for positioning a control line adjacent a tubular string, the apparatus comprising:

• a control line guide assembly having a guide member configured to guide the control line;
• a clamp handling assembly having a clamp member configured to clamp the control line against the tubular string, wherein the clamp handling assembly is movable between a staging position and a clamping position, and wherein the clamp member is releasable from the clamp handling assembly after clamping the control line against the tubular string;
• a motive member for moving the clamp handling assembly between the staging position and the clamping position;
• and
• a sensor configured to determine the position of the clamp handling assembly.
