Abstract
A stabber for assisting in the lifting and installation of a cement head assembly onto a bore hole casing includes a support member comprising a first end opposite a second end. A first connection element is disposed proximate the first end of the support member and a second connection element is disposed proximate the second end of the support member. A first weight is mounted to the support member in closer proximity to the second end of the support member than to the first end of the support member. A second weight is connected to the support member between the first and second ends of the support member.
Claims19
An assembly comprising:
- a stabber, the stabber comprising:
- a support beam comprising a first end opposite a second end;
- a first connection element disposed at the first end of the support beam;
- a second connection element disposed at the second end of the support beam;
- and
- a weight mounted to the support beam intermediate the second end of the support beam and a midpoint of the support beam;
- a cement head connected to the first connection element of the support beam, wherein the cement head comprises a cement inlet;
- and
- a cement line comprising a first end connected to the cement inlet of the cement head and a second end configured for connection to a cement pump, wherein the cement line is connected to the second connection element of the support beam between the first end of the cement line and the second end of the cement line.
A stabber for assisting in the lifting and installation of a cement head assembly onto a bore hole casing, the stabber comprising:
- a support member comprising a first end opposite a second end;
- a first connection element disposed proximate the first end of the support member;
- a second connection element disposed proximate the second end of the support member;
- a first weight mounted to the support member in closer proximity to the second end of the support member than to the first end of the support member;
- a second weight connected to the support member between the first and second ends of the support member;
- and
- a base beam extending downward from the support member, wherein the base beam comprises:
- a first end connected to the support member between the first and second ends of the support member;
- and
- a second end disposed opposite the first end,
- wherein the second weight is connected to the second end of the base beam.
A method for lifting a cement head for installation onto a borehole casing, the method comprising:
- connecting a first end of a cement line to a cement inlet of the cement head;
- connecting a first end of a support beam to the cement head;
- connecting a second end of the support beam to the cement line between the first end of the cement line and a second end of the cement line;
- connecting the first end and the second end of the support beam to a crane;
- and
- pulling the support beam upward by the crane such that the support beam simultaneously pulls the cement head and the cement line upward.
