Abstract

Subterranean room conduit conveyor assemblies are provided comprising a conveyor operatively aligned with a guide assembly, the guide assembly operatively aligned with a subterranean well head. Methods for extending conduit from a subterranean room to within a well extending from the room to within the earth surrounding the room are provided, the methods comprising operatively aligning a conveyor assembly with the well head of the well, feeding coiled conduit to the conveyor assembly, and conveying the conduit from the assembly into the well head of the well from the room. Well clean out nozzles are provided as well.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A subterranean room conduit conveyor assembly comprising a conveyor operatively aligned with a guide assembly, the guide assembly operatively aligned with a subterranean well head. 
     
     
         2 . The assembly of  claim 1  wherein the guide assembly comprises at least two aligned conduit guides. 
     
     
         3 . The assembly of  claim 2  wherein the conveyor is aligned between the two guides. 
     
     
         4 . The assembly of  claim 1  wherein the guide assembly comprises at least one wheel rotatably aligned with the well head. 
     
     
         5 . The assembly of  claim 4  wherein the wheel further comprises tread about the wheel. 
     
     
         6 . The assembly of  claim 5  wherein the tread further comprises a trough extending along the tread. 
     
     
         7 . A subterranean room conduit conveyor assembly comprising:
 a conveyor:   a guide assembly; and   a well head coupling.   
     
     
         8 . The assembly of  claim 7  wherein the conveyor comprises at least one wheel rotatable about an axis substantially normal to the guide assembly. 
     
     
         9 . The assembly of  claim 7  wherein the conveyor comprises at least two wheels, the wheels arranged opposing one another along parallel axis, the axis substantially normal to the guide assembly. 
     
     
         10 . The assembly of  claim 7  wherein conveyor comprises at least one conveyor surface configured to engage conduit, the surface defining a trough therein. 
     
     
         11 . The assembly of  claim 10  wherein the conveyor further comprises another conveyor surface opposing the one surface. 
     
     
         12 . The assembly of  claim 11  wherein the other surface defines a complimentary trough. 
     
     
         13 . The assembly of  claim 11  wherein the other conveyor is biased against the one conveyor. 
     
     
         14 . A method for extending conduit from a subterranean room to within a well extending from the room to within the earth surrounding the room, the method comprising:
 operatively aligning a conveyor assembly with the well head of the well:   feeding coiled conduit to the conveyor assembly; and   conveying the conduit from the assembly into the well head of the well from the room.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14  further comprising vising the conduit between a pair of biased conveyors. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 14  further comprising extending the conduit through a guide prior is comprised by feeding the coiled conduit to the conveyor assembly. 
     
     
         17 . A method for extending conduit from a subterranean room to within a well extending from the room, the method comprising:
 providing conduit having nozzle attached thereto:   nozzled end first, extending the conduit into the well; and   projecting fluid from the nozzle to within the well, the projecting conveying the conduit to within the well.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17  wherein the projecting the fluid comprises directing the fluid in a direction toward the conduit. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 17  wherein the projecting the fluid comprises directing the fluid toward the walls of the well. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 17  wherein the extending is also facilitated by a motorized conveyor.
