  • Well pipe guide spool
    Patent number: 10337265
    Abstract: A tubular guide assembly provides lateral support to a tubular extending through a BOP. The inner diameter of the BOP encasement is larger than the joint diameter. The assembly has a guide spool with a central bore extending therethrough along a longitudinal axis, wherein the diameter of the guide spool central bore is greater than the joint diameter of the tubular. At least two guide spool apertures extend radially inwardly through a wall of the guide spool to the central bore. A guide post for each guide spool aperture is movable through the respective guide spool aperture into the guide spool central bore to limit lateral displacement of a tubular extending therethrough. A method for providing lateral support to a tubular extending through a BOP during a snubbing operation uses their guide assembly.
