Abstract
A conductor arrangement is for a collection of subterranean wells for recovering fluids from an underground structure. A frame is provided with several conductor guides, each forming an inlet opening for a conductor in an upper portion of the frame and an outlet opening for the conductor in a lower portion of the frame. The conductor is arranged to border a portion of a borehole towards a surrounding unconsolidated mass and has been passed through the conductor guide and down into the unconsolidated mass. The conductor guides are arranged in a mutually diverging manner in the direction from the inlet opening, and each conductor is extendable by a bend, the deflection angle of the bends providing mutually parallel center axes in coupling interfaces arranged in upper end portions of the bends.

A conductor arrangement for a collection of subterranean wells for recovering fluids from an underground structure, in which a frame is provided with several conductor guides, each forming an inlet opening for a conductor in an upper portion of the frame and an outlet opening for the conductor in a lower portion of the frame, and the conductor, which is arranged to border a portion of a borehole towards a surrounding unconsolidated mass has been passed through the conductor guide and down into the unconsolidated mass, and the conductor guides are arranged in a mutually diverging manner in the direction from the inlet opening, and each conductor is extendable by a bend, the deflection angles of the bends providing mutually approximately parallel center axes in coupling interfaces arranged in upper end portions of the bends, wherein the conductor guide is sectioned, an upper guide element forming the inlet opening and being releasably arranged in a cut-out in the upper portion of the frame, and the upper portion of the frame being formed as a grid, the grid openings forming cut-outs which are each arranged to receive a releasable upper guide element.
