Abstract

A wireline assembly enclosure. The wireline assembly enclosure has a first half and a second half which define an interior compartment. The first and second halves are attached via a hinge and move from an open configuration to a closed configuration. The enclosure also has a plurality of apertures. In various embodiments a stuffing box, lubrication tubing, and other materials pass through the apertures into the interior compartment. A sealing material is disposed partially about a perimeter of the first and second halves such that a seal is formed when the two halves are together in the closed configuration. The sealing material is also disposed about a perimeter of the plurality of apertures. An adjustable bar clamp inside the interior compartment of the enclosure clamps hardware in place. The enclosure is secured around a stuffing box and sheave in order to contain overspray from a wireline.

Claims (42)

1. A wireline assembly enclosure, comprising:

an enclosure having a first half and a second half, thereby defining an interior compartment;

the first half hingedly attached to the second half, wherein the first half is moveable from an open configuration to a closed configuration;

the enclosure further comprising a plurality of apertures;

a sealing material disposed partially about a perimeter of the first half and partially about a perimeter of the second half;

the sealing material disposed about a perimeter of at least one of the plurality of apertures;

an adjustable bar clamp disposed on the interior compartment of the enclosure.

2. The wireline assembly enclosure of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of latches disposed partially about a perimeter of the enclosure which maintain the enclosure in a closed configuration.

3. The wireline assembly enclosure of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of absorbent pads removably securable to the interior compartment of the enclosure.

4. The wireline assembly enclosure of claim 3 , further comprising a plurality of fasteners disposed in the interior compartment of the enclosure which removably secure the plurality of absorbent pads.

5. The wireline assembly enclosure of claim 1 , further comprising at least one window.

6. The wireline assembly enclosure of claim 1 , further comprising at least one handle disposed on an exterior side of the enclosure.

7. A wireline assembly enclosure, comprising:

an enclosure having a first half and a second half, thereby defining an interior compartment;

the first half hingedly attached to the second half, wherein the first half is moveable from an open configuration to a closed configuration;

the enclosure further including a plurality of apertures;

a first aperture adapted to encircle a stuffing box;

a second aperture adapted to encircle a lubrication tubing;

a third aperture adapted to encircle a wireline;

a fourth aperture further comprising a drain;

a sealing material disposed partially about a perimeter of the first half and partially about a perimeter of the second half;

the sealing material disposed about a perimeter of the first aperture, a perimeter of the second aperture, and a perimeter of the third aperture;

an adjustable bar clamp disposed on the interior compartment of the enclosure.

8. The wireline assembly enclosure of claim 7 , further comprising a plurality of latches disposed partially about a perimeter of the enclosure which maintain the enclosure in a closed configuration.

9. The wireline assembly enclosure of claim 7 , further comprising a plurality of absorbent pads removably securable to the interior compartment of the enclosure.

10. The wireline assembly enclosure of claim 9 , further comprising a plurality of fasteners disposed in the interior compartment of the enclosure which removably secure the plurality of absorbent pads.

11. The wireline assembly enclosure of claim 7 , further comprising at least one window.

12. The wireline assembly enclosure of claim 7 , further comprising at least one handle disposed on an exterior side of the enclosure.

13. A wireline assembly enclosure, comprising:

an enclosure having a first half and a second half, thereby defining an interior compartment;

the first half hingedly attached to the second half, wherein the first half is moveable from an open configuration to a closed configuration;

the enclosure further including a first aperture and a second aperture;

the first aperture adapted to encircle a stuffing box;

the second aperture further comprising a drain;

at least one access panel hingedly attached to the enclosure;

a sealing material disposed about a perimeter of the first aperture and partially about a perimeter of the at least one access panel;

an adjustable bar clamp disposed on the interior compartment of the enclosure.

14. The wireline assembly enclosure of claim 13 , further comprising a plurality of latches disposed partially about a perimeter of the enclosure, and on an exterior surface of the access panel, which maintain the enclosure in a closed configuration.

15. The wireline assembly enclosure of claim 13 , further comprising a plurality of absorbent pads removably securable to the interior compartment of the enclosure.

16. The wireline assembly enclosure of claim 15 , further comprising a plurality of fasteners disposed in the interior compartment of the enclosure which removably secure the plurality of absorbent pads.
