LEVEL-WIND SYSTEM FOR COILED TUBING

摘要

A level-wind head and system for coiled tubing the head adapted for passing coiled tubing of various outside diameters without repositioning or replacing the rollers. A system of an embodiment of the present invention includes a coiled tubing reel mounted for rotation about a horizontal axis, a level-wind head comprising only one pair rollers mounted in spaced relation to one another to form a throat sized to pass various outside diameter coiled tubing, without replacement or repositioning of the pair of rollers, to or from the reel, and a positioning system in connection with the level-wind head for selectively positioning the level-wind head proximate the reel.
