Abstract: A low profile pipe clamp for use as either a repair clamp or a service clamp with a side outlet. The pipe clamp comprises a flexible band, usually of sheet metal with a gasket material on the interior thereof, the flexible band having a pair of opposed looped ends which receive tubular trunnion loading bars. The trunnion loading bars receive at least a pair of T-bolt assemblies, each assembly including one T-bolt and a nut. The T-bolt assemblies are pre-assembled in one of the trunnion bars having apertures therethrough, this trunnion bar being made of a plurality of coaxial elements whereby the T-bolt may be independently pivoted into position during assembly. The other trunnion bar is provided with slots for receiving the head of the T-bolt and is temporarily held against rotation and axial movement in the loop prior to installation of the clamp.

Abstract: Flexible production tubing is wound about a reel for easy and convenient transport to and from a well site. A submersible pump is attached directly to the end of the flexible tubing and is lowered through the well casing to a producing formation. Insertion and withdrawal of the flexible tubing is accomplished with a hydraulically powered drive sprocket assembly mounted above the well head equipment. The flexible tubing is reinforced by striker plate assemblies which are engaged by the teeth of the drive sprocket, thereby providing positive traction for insertion and withdrawal without damaging the flexible core. The flexible production tubing includes a high strength injection core, a tubular production conduit embedded within the core, and a series of striker plate assemblies partially embedded within the core.
