Abstract
A self-propelled, remotely-controlled equipment deployment vehicle is configured to deliver equipment to a desired location within the horizontal portion of a deviated wellbore. The deployment vehicle includes a cargo frame, an electric motor and an active mobility assembly. The active mobility assembly is connected to the cargo frame and powered by the electric motor. The cargo frame can be configured to transport, offload and accurately position the selected cargo. Alternatively, the equipment deployment vehicle can be configured with a passive mobility assembly that allows the equipment deployment vehicle to be pushed or pulled along the horizontal section of the wellbore without power.
