Abstract
A coupling device is installable to a connector of a hydrocarbon well tubing string to prevent a downhole loss of a portion of the tubing string upon an unintended decoupling of the connector. The connector may include an uphole component and a downhole component with a joint therebetween. The coupling device may at least partially encircle the connector while spanning the joint. A first flange can protrude radially inwardly from the coupling device to engage a groove in the downhole component and a second flange may protrude radially inwardly from the coupling device to extend into a recess in the uphole component. The coupling device limits the downhole movement of the downhole component of the connector and the portion of the tubing string coupled thereto upon an unintended decoupling of the connector by way of a restricted axial movement of the second flange within the recess in the uphole component.
