Abstract
A protective clamp assembly is provided for securing a conductor lines to the production tubing of oil and gas wells and providing for efficient transition of the conductor lines past the various connections of the well tubing. To prevent crushing or other damage to those portions of the conductor lines that are located at tubing connections, the clamp assembly of this invention provides for efficient transition of the conductor lines past the enlarged connections of the tubing. Under circumstances where the tubing is brought into forcible contact with the well casing within which it is received, the protective clamp assembly contacts the well casing thus preventing the well casing from applying crushing force to the conductor lines.
