Definitions

  • Fig. 6 shows the same as Fig. 5 except for the compensator arch being retracted to an extended position relative to the drum.
  • the fleet angle out of the compensator arch's top is 1.5 degrees or less, and the compensator arch is 8 degrees or less inclined laterally.
  • the width (aial length) of the drum (1) should be less than or equal to 1/1 of the internal width of the frame.
  • an embodiment has a drum width of about 1/3 as illustrated, i.e. 0.84 m.
  • the maximal width of the drum is the entire width of the frame; e.g. about 2.5 m. Such a widening of the drum would incur significantly larger maximal lateral deviation angles for the compensator arch, and somewhat increased fleet angles out of the compensator arch for the increased lateral extension, particularly in the retracted position.
  • the tension compensator (3) is for keeping a desired tension in the intervention string (0) during the running of the intervention string onto and out of the drum (1).
  • the compensator tightens the intervention string or yields when speed variations between the injector head's feeding speed and the speed of the drum occur.
  • the tension compensator (3) also yields when it moves away from the central plane of the drum in order to compensate for tension variations which could be compared to an otherwise varying fleet angle.
  • Bending of the cable is very small, and more importantly one avoids the variations in tension with varying fleet angle because the "curved fleet angle" provided with the laterally moving compensator arm is, as its name indicates, compensated by in-line variation of the position of the compensator arm.
  • the lateral force required to steer the cable into its desired position of the drum is negligible and facilitates the laying of the cable to an appropriate position to facilitate the correct desired spooling pattern of the string member.
  • the tension feeder unit (41A) at said first guide (4) is arranged laterally displaceable on said structural frame (2), said tension feeder unit (41A) arranged laterally moving in lateral synchronous operation with said first end (31A) of said guide arch (31).
  • the syncrhonous operation may be governed by means of an actuator (41C).
  • a tension feeder unit (41B) is arranged by the second, fixed guide (5), please see Fig. 1 .
  • This tension feeder unit (41B) may operate alone and may hold an outer end or "whip" of the intervention string (0) by said frame (2) when the intervention string (0) is entirely coiled in onto the drum.
