Patent ID: 8172000

Claim:
A method for feeding a downhole line between two tubulars, the method comprising: a. connecting a clamping apparatus about an inner tubular member, wherein the clamping apparatus comprises: (i) a clamping apparatus first half comprising: (a) a first support arm having an inner surface; (b) a second support arm having an inner surface, wherein the first support arm is attached to the second support arm by a first connecting wall having a radius of curvature; and (c) a first grip disposed on a first connecting wall inner surface; and (ii) a clamping apparatus second half selectively connectable to the clamping apparatus first half, wherein the clamping apparatus second half comprises: (a) a third support arm having an inner surface configured to abut the first support inner surface; (b) a fourth support arm having an inner surface configured to abut the second support arm inner surface, wherein the third support arm is attached to the fourth support arm by a second connecting wall having a radius of curvature; and (c) a second grip connected to an inner diameter of the second connecting wall; b. supporting an outer tubular member with at least a portion of the support arms of the clamping apparatus; c. feeding a downhole line through a pass through channel formed between the inner surface of the connecting walls and the inner tubular member; and d. communicating the downhole line with a tool connected to the outer tubular member, the inner tubular member, or both.
