Abstract
A bending apparatus for coiled tubing protects along the entire path of coiled tubing from the reel to the injector, while still protecting a main controlled bend to the injector. The bending apparatus includes a conduit having a bend portion and a flexible portion. The main controlled bend is isolated in the bend portion, while smaller adjustment bends can be designated for the flexible portion. An impingement sleeve further protects and support coiled tubing within the conduit. The bend portion can be defined by an exterior support for the stability and strength of the bend portion, when the entire conduit is made of flexible material. A threader provides for safe loading from the reel to the conduit. A buckle preventer can be added to prevent damage after exiting the conduit. A blowout preventer can be added to cut and isolate the coiled tubing between the conduit and the reel.
