  • Publication number: 20170037693
    Abstract: A clamp device that attaches an umbilical to a drill string incorporates a junk basket. The basket is notched to accept the umbilical and an insert piece is slipped into the notch after the umbilical is properly in position. The insert piece straddles the umbilical and is secured the balance of the basket to complete the basket. The basket can be slipped over the drill pipe and either secured directly to the outer surface of the drill pipe or against a support member that is supported off the drill pipe. One or more of such baskets can be used and they can also function as umbilical clamps. The basket can also be vertically split to allow mounting it over the drill pipe and umbilical without having to slip it over an end of the drill pipe as the drill pipe is tripped into or out of the hole.
