Lubricator

A specially fabricated length of pipe with union connectors and bleed-off valves that is temporarily installed above the upper valve on the christmas tree. Lubricators afford a method of sealing off pressure yet still allow the passage of devices, usually run on wireline, into a producing well without having to kill the well.
