Abstract:
1. A multi-well modular drilling template spacer device to space and angularly align at least one multi-well modular drilling template of a plurality of multi-well modular drilling templates or one or more wells associated therewith, in relation to at least one other multi-well modular drilling template of the plurality of multi-well modular templates or one or more wells associated therewith, the multi-well modular drilling template spacer device comprising: a main body having a bore sized to slidably receive and connect to outer surface portions of a low-pressure housing of a second well extending through one of a plurality of well funnels of a multi-well modular template connected to a housing of a first well, the main body comprising an at least approximately cylindrical portion and a centering ring portion connected to a lower end of the at least approximately cylindrical portion, the centering ring portion having a substantially frustroconical shape to thereby guide the main body over a central axis of the low-pressure housing of the second well during operational deployment thereof; a guide funnel having a bore sized to slidably receive a low-pressure housing of a third well; and an elongate spacing arm connected to and extending between the main body and the guide funnel.
