Patent attributes
A conductor running and cementing bracket (CRCB) includes a plurality of support beams for supporting a conductor upon engagement with a conductor landing joint disposed on the conductor, wherein the plurality of support beams comprise a first set horizontally fixed to a second set. The CRCB further includes a side door elevator to grip the conductor thereby preventing further downhole movement at a landing level and a plurality of adjustable conductor extension sleeves arranged on the second set and extendable to variable lengths to accommodate conductors of varying diameters. The landing level of the conductor is below a rotary table level configured to hold a drill pipe via a rotary slip. Once the side door elevator is gripping the conductor, the conductor landing joint is removed and a drill pipe with a stinger is run into a wellbore. Upon running the drill pipe, a cementing operation is conducted.
