REEL SPOOL AND STAND ASSEMBLY FOR COILED TUBING INJECTOR SYSTEM

摘要

A spool (10) for carrying continuous pipe or coiled tubing for a coiled tubing injector is dropped into a stand (12) at a site and coupled to a rotary power source (36). The stand includes two axles ( 144), on either side of the spool, and a drive plate (122). The spool includes on each side a supporting hub (114) with slot (116) that allows the axle to slide into the hub and the slot to be closed. At the same time, a coupling member (120) on the drive plate slides into mating contact with a complementary coupling member ( 124) on the spool. Thus, the spool is mounted and coupled to a rotary power source with comparative ease and quickness,facilitating use of multiple spools for both transportation and operation at the well site.
