Description

TITLE:
Well Site Hole Supply Vehicle FIELD
The present invention relates to a supply vehicle which supplies the needs of a crew preparing a rat hole, a mouse hole, or a conductor hole at a well site.

BACKGROUND
At the present time a number of supply vehicles are required to supply the water, cement, casing pipe, drill bits, and other supplies needed by the crew preparing a rat hole, mouse hole, or conductor hole.

SUMMARY
There is provided a well site hole supply vehicle consisting of a trailer having a front end, a rear end, a first side and a second side. A water storage tank is mounted at the front end of the trailer. A casing pipe storage rack are positioned down the first side of the trailer.
Storage cribs are positioned down the second side of the trailer.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
These and other features will become more apparent from the following description in which reference is made to the appended drawings, the drawings are for the purpose of illustration only and are not intended to in any way limit the scope of the invention to the particular embodiment or embodiments shown, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a top plan view of a well site hole supply vehicle.
FIG. 2 is a side elevation view of the well site hole supply vehicle of FIG.
1.
FIG. 3 is an end elevation view of a divider rack used on the well site hole supply vehicle of FIG. 1.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
A well site hole supply vehicle generally identified by reference numeral 10, will now be described with reference to FIG. 1 through 3.

Structure and Relationship of Parts:
Referring to FIG. 1, well site hole supply vehicle 10 has a trailer 12 with a front end 14, a rear end 16, a first side 18 and a second side 20. Well site hole supply vehicle 10 is designed to supply the needs of a crew in preparing a rat hole, mouse hole, conductor hole or the like on a well site. A water storage tank 22 is mounted at front end 14 of trailer 12.
Tubular auger storage bins 24 with vertically oriented axes are positioned at front end 14 of trailer 12 immediately adjacent to water storage tank 22. A casing pipe storage rack 26 is provided and positioned down first side 18 of trailer 12 to support casing pipe 27. Down second side 20 of trailer 12 are storage cribs 30 with dividers 28 positioned between each storage crib 30. Storage cribs 30 are generally used to store cement, however, there may also be one or more tool storage cribs 34. Each cement storage crib 30 is designed to accommodate a pallet 361oaded with cement bags, and is provided with a closure gate 38. An axial divider 40 separates storage cribs 30 and storage rack 26. Trailer 12 is shown to also be equipped with additional storage, such as storage lockers 42, and a storage bin 44 mounted on water storage tank 22. Shelves (not shown) may be provided within storage lockers 42. For convenience, there may be a cement mixing barre146 positioned on trailer 12.

As can be seen in FIG. 1, divider 28 is designed to cover the width of trailer 12.
Referring to FIG. 3, divider 28 includes a bottom portion 48 upon which the casing pipe is placed, and vertical portions 50 to confine the casing pipe within storage rack 26. Divider 28 is also able to accommodate larger-diameter pipe in the v-shaped opening 52 at the top of divider 28, and smaller-diameter pipe in a slot 54 below v-shaped opening 52.
Opposite storage rack 26 is a partition 56 that separates cribs 30.

Operation:
Referring to FIG. 1, trailer 12 is loaded with casing pipe 27 in casing pipe storage rack 26, pallets 36 with cement bags in cement storage cribs 30, tools in tool storage cribs 34 and storage lockers 42, augers in auger storage bins 24, and water storage tank 22 is filled with water. Trailer 12 is then hauled out to a drilling site where this equipment is required.
When accompanied by a drilling rig, trailer 12 thus equipped has the equipment needed to install drill a borehole and install casing.

In this patent document, the word "comprising" is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article "a" does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be one and only one of the elements.

It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that modifications may be made to the illustrated embodiments without departing from scope of the Claims.
