Abstract
A control line space out tool for use in identifying the length of control line required to extend between proximal and distal locations in a wellbore is described, the control line space out tool comprises a body having a locator for locating the tool at a proximal location within a wellbore and a passage though which a control line may pass to extend to a distal location, a grip for locking onto a control line, and an actuator for operating the grip to lock onto the control line to thereby indicate the length of control line required to extend between said locations. A method of determining a length of control line required to extend between proximal and distal locations within a wellbore is also described.
