ABSTRACT:
A movable arm10engages a flexible line50at a well site for positioning the flexible line between run-in position for passing the flexible line with a tubular through a well hole in the rig floor and a clamping position wherein the flexible line is adjacent the tubular above the rig floor for clamping the line to the tubular. The arm10extends upward from the rig floor70, and includes a line guide, such as roller12, for engaging the flexible line when in the run-in position. A powered drive14moves the arm between the run-in position and the clamping position. A spacer82may be used for positioning two or more flexible lines at a desired spacing relative to one another prior to positioning the lines within a clamp secured to the tubular. A slip bowl assembly60may be laterally movable so that slips do not engage the flexible line as it is run in the well.
