摘要

An apparatus including a coiled tubing unit coupled to a drilling rig, and an enclosure surrounding the coiled tubing unit. The coiled tubing unit may include a coiled tubing reel and a coiled tubing injector, wherein the injector may move relative to the coiled tubing reel. The coiled tubing unit is configured to move relative to the drilling rig in both longitudinal and lateral directions.

主权项

1. An enclosed coiled tubing boat apparatus, comprising:
a structural framework; a coiled tubing reel and an operatively associated coiled tubing injector; and an enclosure that is operatively associated with the structural framework and that surrounds a portion of the coiled tubing reel and the coiled tubing injector to form the coiled tubing boat apparatus; wherein the coiled tubing injector is configured to move within the coiled tubing boat apparatus and wherein the structural framework is integrally coupled with an existing drilling rig; wherein the coiled tubing boat apparatus is movably coupled to the drilling rig and the coiled tubing boat apparatus is configured to move in at least two dimensions relative to the drilling rig; and wherein the coiled tubing boat apparatus is adapted to translate longitudinally relative to the drilling rig so that a portion of the coiled tubing boat apparatus overhangs a rear of the drilling rig in a non-operational position.
