Well equipment assembly system for wellsites
The patent US12071819B2 describes a system designed to facilitate the assembly of well equipment at a wellsite. Central to this system is a mounting frame that can be releasably attached to a coiled tubing string. The system includes a winch cable that is movably engaged with the mounting frame, allowing for selective winding and unwinding via a winch. A cable guide and a cable attachment member are also part of the system, enabling the connection to a well tool. Additionally, at least one wheel is incorporated, which can be directly attached to the well tool to support and facilitate its movement across the ground surface of the wellsite.
The claims further detail the functionality of the system, including features that enhance alignment and movement of the well tool. The cable mounting feature is strategically positioned to assist in aligning the well tool with the coiled tubing string during operation. The system also includes a transition member that aids in moving the well tool laterally into alignment with the coiled tubing string. The method outlined in the patent involves several steps, such as coupling the mounting frame to the well string, connecting the cable guide and attachment member to the well tool, and operating the winch to position the well tool for engagement with the well string. Overall, the patent presents a comprehensive solution aimed at improving the efficiency and effectiveness of well equipment assembly at wellsites.
