Important Notes
o

xx stands 5in Drill-Pipe in the mast has been drifted with 2-3/4 drift.

Drift 5 Drill-Pipe single to 2-3/4 before making up.

Drift pup joints to 2-3/4 before making up.

Surge calculations performed (Weatherford Mud Loggers)

Cement Head has been loaded on the beach and witnessed.

Ensure all pipe including x/o have been drifted to 2-3/4in minimum drift on surface as required.

Visually check for debris inside shoe joint and float joint immediately before picking up.

Discuss safety issues related to working around V Door at pre-job safety meeting.

Weatherford mud loggers to record cumulative Liner rotating cycles.

No left hand rotation.

Shoe track threads cleaned on Rack (for Thread-Lock)

Liner drifted on pipe racks.

Have up to date trip sheet prepared

Have LCM materials close to mixing hopper and ready to mix.

Check condition of tong dies, slips and elevators before use

Keep the pipe moving slowly in open hole to avoid getting stuck.

Have dog collar safety clamp ready for 7 casing.

Operations
1. Make up 7in cement head assembly on the pipe rack with chain tongs as follows:
o

Make up 3m handling pup onto Weatherford cement head. Make up 1m and 6m pups below
cement head and lay down.

2. Hold PJSM before rigging up and before running 7 liner.

3. Make up well control crossover to Kelly Cock (TIW Valve).
4. Rig up Weatherford handling equipment and Jam equipment.
5. Make up 7 Liner Shoe-Track
o

Inspect inside of shoe joint and float joint with flashlight for debris before making up.

Thread-locking connections as per tally. Make up torque with Bakerlock is 8,460 ftlbs.

Check floats are holding.

6. Run Liner as per Tally

o

VAM Top - Optimum 9,400 ft/lbs make up torque. Maximum 10,340 ft/lbs. Minimum 8,460 ft/lbs

Pick up each joint directly from crane into side door elevators.

Fill every 5 joints or more often if there is an opportunity.

Check if every centraliser spins freely and check for broken or cracked welds on centralisers.

30 seconds per joint running speed; slow down if losses noted.

7. Record Pick Up & Slack-Off weights after picking up the hanger (Driller & Weatherford Liner
hand). Up weight ______ Tons. Down weight ______ Tons
o

Check number of joints left on deck and confirm number is correct.

Start threads with chain tong.

Use tag lines when hanger assembly is picked up with crane.

Change to 5 DP elevators and make up liner hanger as directed by Weatherford liner hand.

8. Perform Liner Hanger checks as per Weatherford hand instruction.

9. Pick up 1 x stand DP from the mast and make up Top-Drive.
o

Pull bushings before running hanger through rotary and keep hanger centered while running
down.

Do not set slips on hanger assembly only on handling pup.

10. Break circulation slowly and circulate liner contents.

o

Circulate 66bbls/555 strokes and do not exceed 600psi.

Fill PBR with water through fill up plugs on floating junk bonnet while circulating

Rig down Weatherford casing equipment while circulating

11. RIH on 5 DP to 9-5/8 casing shoe at 2167m.

o

Fill every 5 stands do not connect Top-Drive to fill the Pipe.

Do not let the Drill-Pipe rotate use back-up tong when making up Drill-Pipe.

RIH at 1 minute per stand. Slow down to 2 minute per stand if losses occur.

12. Make up Top-Drive and break circulation slowly.

o

Circulate Liner and Drill-Pipe contents (165 bbls/ 1390 strokes) do not exceed 600 psi.

13. Stop pump and record the following:

o

Up weight: __________ tons

Down weight: _______ tons

Rotating torque at 20rpm: _________ ft/lbs.

14. Start pump and record the following:

o

100gpm:_______ psi

200gpm:_______ psi

250gpm: _______psi

15. Set top drive torque limit to 8000 ft/lbs (rotation only with Company Mans permission) .
16. RIH liner with 70 stands Drill-Pipe into open hole to 2477m.
o

RIH at 2 minutes per stand. If losses occur slow down to 3 minutes per stand.

If a stop has to be made for any reason the pipe should be kept moving slowly to prevent stuck
pipe.

If it is not possible to work the pipe make up top drive and rotate at 20 rpm (W/ford LHR hand
must be present)

Notify company man of any problems while RIH

3

Fill every stand in open hole. DO NOT MAKE UP TOP-DRIVE TO FILL PIPE.

17. Make-Up Top Drive to stand No. 71 and break circulation with 100gpm.
o

Record Up Weight _____ Tons. Down Weight ______ Tons. Torque @ 20 rpm______ftlbs

18. Wash down 15m with 100 gpm and tag bottom (for space out). Rack back stand No. 71.
19. Make up 1 x single drillpipe (drifted to 2-3/4in)
20. Make-Up Weatherford Cement Head with handling joint on top complete with 6.24m and 1.67m
DP Pup joints underneath Cement Head.
o

Weatherford Engineer to be present.

Make up cementing chiksan to cement head in Vee Door when picking up.

21. Make up Top drive and break circulation slowly. Record up and down weights. Wash down to
2461m with 50 gpm (no rotation).
22. With 7 liner shoe at 2461m, stage up flowrate to 100gpm establish free rotating torque with
100 gpm. Do not exceed 8000 ftlbs torque. Chain the brake down, do not move the pipe from
this depth.
