<p>A control line protector for securing and protecting a control line or lines (38) to the exterior of an oil well tubing string. The protector comprises a flexible steel strap (22) to one end of which a trunnion (25) is attached. A second strap member (28) is removably mounted at (26, 30) to the other end of the strap (22) and carried a second trunnion (32). The trunnions (25,32) are interconnected by two screws (34) which may be rotated to draw the trunnions towards one another, thus tensioning the straps (22, 28) around a length of tubing (14) forming part of a drill string. An axially-directed channel (36) is formed adjacent one of the trunnions to receive the control line (38).</p> |
