Abstract
A universal atmospheric deployment device (“UADD”) for use in oil and gas production or similar applications is provided. In one embodiment, the UADD includes a number of storage carriers disposed around a pathway that can be deployed into a well bore. The figures and art described herein show that this novel feature can increase the speed and usefulness of dispatching tools down a well bore, and also decrease down time to install or retrieve these devices. This UADD also removes personnel from the hazardous area, allowing for remote deployment of tools and devices.
