Abstract:
Hybrid apparatus for operation with both coiled and sectional tubing apparatus comprising:a coiled tubing rig having a frame and a mast normally aligned over a wellhead, an injector located on the mast and a tubing straightener positioned between the injector and the wellhead; a rotary table affixed to the well head for rotationally supporting sectional tubular components passing through the wellhead; a jib crane mounted atop the mast; and means for pivoting the mast between two positions, (i) a first position where the mast, injector and straightener are aligned with the wellhead for injection and withdrawing of coiled tubing, and (ii) a second position with the mast pivoted out of alignment from the wellhead so that the jib crane can align sectional tubing with the wellhead and be supported therefrom and be made up on the rotary table.
