Patent ID: 8733433

Claim:
An apparatus for conducting continuous tubing operations comprising: a. a spool member having first and second sides, wherein said spool member is rotatable about a substantially horizontal axis; b. a first pump-in swivel member connected to said first side of said spool member; c. a second pump-in swivel member connected to said second side of said spool member; d. a motor connected to said spool member for rotating said spool member about a substantially horizontal axis; e. a level-wind guide assembly detached from said spool member comprising: i. a support frame; and ii. at least two sheaves, wherein said at least two sheaves are mounted to said support frame in substantially parallel orientation, and are rotatable about a substantially horizontal axis; f. a first length of continuous flexible tubing having a first end and a second end, wherein said first end of said first length of continuous flexible tubing is connected to a first swivel pump-in member, a portion of said tubing between said first and second ends is disposed on said spool member, wherein said second end of said first length of continuous flexible tubing extends off said spool member, is disposed over a sheave of said level-wind guide assembly, and can be extended or retracted without use of an injector; and g. a second length of continuous flexible tubing having a first end and a second end, wherein said first end of said second length of continuous flexible tubing is connected to a second swivel pump-in member, a portion of said tubing between said first and second ends is disposed on said spool member, wherein said second end of said second length of continuous flexible tubing extends off said spool, is disposed over a sheave of said level-wind guide assembly, and can be extended or retracted without use of an injector.
