column in N-80 and lower grades and are designed for H2S and CO2 service.
* K55 Eliminator Stage Cementing Tools are designed for use with any weight casing shown in the “WT/RANGE”
column in K-55 and lower grades and are designed for H2S and CO2 service.
* P110 Eliminator Stage Cementing Tools are designed for use with any weight casing shown in the “WT/RANGE”
column in P-110 and lower grades.
* Size 4-1/2” through 9-5/8” standard N80 (K55 for 8 5/8”) 8-round tools are furnished with LTC box and STC pin
connections.
* Size 4-1/2” through 9-5/8” P110, heavy-weight N80 8-round, and match grade L80 tools are furnished with LTC box
and LTC pin connections
* Size 10-3/4” through 20” 8-round tools in all grades are furnished with STC box and pin connections.
* Overall lengths are for tools equipped with 8-round and Buttress threads. Premium connection tool lengths will vary
by the total length difference of pin and box connections.
* Eliminator Stage Cementing Tools with sizes, ratings, material grades, special clearance outside diameters, and
threads other than those listed are available on special order. Specifications for these tools may be obtained form the
Houma Sustaining Engineering Department.
* Premium threaded Eliminator Stage Cementing Tool may be equipped with box subs as well as pin subs. Do not
exceed published ratings of casing and connections which may be lower than tool rating. Specifications for each
special order tool are enclosed in its shipping crate.
* A Model 752E 3-Stage Cementing Tool is positioned below a Model 751E Stage Cementing Tool in a 3-Stage
cementing job. Model 751E 2-Stage Cementing Tools are color-coded red. Model 752E 3-Stage Cementing Tools as
well as their opening and closing plug sets are color-coded blue.
* Opening pressures in psi absolute and closing pressures in psi over displacement pressure are as follows:
Tool Size Opening Pressure (PSI) Closing Pressure (PSI)

4-1/2” thru 5-1/2” 700-1000 1,500
6-5/8” thru 10-3/4” 700-1000 1,200
11-3/4” thru 13- 700-1000 1,000
3/8” 20”
16” thru 400-700 800
* The tensile load resulting from the Stage Tool closing pressure and/or First Stage Plug bump pressure (casing
internal area x pressure) should be added to the casing weight to calculate the total load exerted on a tool.
* Weatherford Stage Tools are normally furnished with 90 durometer peroxide-cured nitrile O-ring seals rated for –20 to
+275 °F service. These seals are suitable for H2S and CO2 high pressure service.
* Stage Tools ordered as L80 match grade are normally furnished with 90 durometer fluorocarbon O-ring seals rated for
–15 to +400 °F (600 °F for short periods of time). The fluorocarbon O-ring seals are suitable for H2S and CO2 high
pressure service.
* Fluorocarbon and other special elastomer seals are available with any stage tool as a special order. The engineering
department in Houma, Louisiana should be consulted on any application exceeding 300 °F or where abnormal well
conditions exist.
* Cementing port specifications for 751E and 752E Stage Cementing Tools are as follows:

SECTION 4. OPERATING PROCEDURES
Stage Tool Manual
Section - Page 4-27
ELIMINATOR MULTIPLE STAGE CEMENTING TOOL OPERATION

The operational sequence drawing, on the next page, illustrates the operation of the Weatherford ELIMINATOR Multiple
Stage Cementing Tool. In the going-in-hole position, the unitary sleeve with O-ring seals closes the stage tool cementing
ports. In this configuration, all spaces between the unitary sleeve and the stage tool body are open to either the inside of
the casing or the annulus. Thus atmospheric pressure traps are avoided and the elastomeric O-ring seals on the unitary
sleeve are subjected only to the differential pressure between the inside of the casing and the annulus and not absolute
down hole pressures.
To open the stage tool for circulation and cementing, a weighted opening cone is dropped into the casing and allowed to
gravitate to the opening seat. Hydraulic pressure must be increased within the casing above the opening cone until the
shear screws are sheared between the stage tool body and the unitary sleeve. The unitary sleeve moves downward until
its movement is stopped by the intermediate locking lugs contacting the lower end of the lug recess in the body. In this
open position, the unitary sleeve ports align with the tool body ports, allowing fluid to flow from the inside of casing into the
annulus. Anti-rotation pins, which are attached to the body and rest inside of the anti-rotation slots in the unitary sleeve,
prevent rotation of the sleeve and assure alignment of the ports.
To close the tool body ports, a closing plug is pumped down the casing to the closing seat. Pressure (800-1500 PSI
above circulation pressure depending upon tool size) applied within the casing above the closing plug shears the shear
screws between the unitary sleeve and the closing seat and moves the closing seat downward until it contacts the end of
the recess in the unitary sleeve. The intermediate locking lugs are then cammed into a recess in the closing seat and the
entire unitary sleeve is forced downward under pressure until it contacts the pin sub. Slots in the nose of the closing plug
allow fluid to flow from the casing below the plug into the vacancy created as the closing sleeve moves downward. The
unitary sleeve with O-ring seals closes the ports in the tool body. Since the body bore is the same above and below the
ports at the seals, external pressure cannot force the unitary sleeve to move upward and open the tool. A snap ring
snaps outward into a recess in the tool body and prevents upward movement of the unitary sleeve when running through
the casing after drillout.
The opening seat and closing seat are made of aluminum, which may be subsequently drilled out. Rotation of the closing
seat is prevented by the intermediate locking lugs that lie within the anti-rotation recesses in the closing seat. A brass
screw within a guide slot in the closing seat assures alignment of the lugs with the recesses in the closing seat. Using
left-hand threads to attach it to the unitary sleeve prevents rotation of the opening seat during drill out. The anti-rotation
slots in the unitary sleeve prevent its rotation relative to the body during drill out. Setscrews through the tool body wall
and into the pin sub prevent rotation of the pin sub relative to the body.
All components that are to be drilled out of the stage tool are considered drillable with a PDC bit, but the higher torque
generated by the PDC bit will cause some components to rotate relative to others like the closing plug on the closing seat.
Therefore, a PDC compatible stage tool is recommended when drill out will be conducted with a PDC bit; these tools have
features added to prevent rotation of components relative to each other.

MODEL 751E REGULAR TWO-STAGE CEMENTING

EQUIPMENT
A Two-Stage (Model 751E) Cementing Tool furnished with a Flexible First Stage Plug, 751E Free-Fall Opening Cone, and
751E Closing Plug are required for Regular Two-Stage Cementing. Conventional, automatic fill, or differential fill float
equipment may be used. If desired, a rubber Seal-Off Plate may be ordered separately for 5-1/2” to 13-3/8” sizes.
Refer to the specification chart or sheet for information concerning the dimensions, plugs, and ratings of each stage tool.
Information on stage tools with Buttress or 8 Round connections are charted for the most common sizes and weight
ranges. Specific specification sheets are provided with the stage tool for any variation not listed in the chart (i.e. premium
connections, different material grades or weight ranges.)
NOTE: A pump-down opening plug system or a hydraulic opening stage tool is recommended for wells with a deviation
greater than 25° above the stage tool and for other situations where the free-fall opening cone may not reach the stage
tool in a timely manner.
INSPECTION
Inspect Stage Tool and auxiliary equipment upon arrival at location. Check Stage Tool for dents, damaged threads, etc.
Check Opening Cone and Closing Plug to verify that they will seat properly in Stage Tool. Ascertain that the First Stage
Plug or Shut-Off Plug Nose O.D. is smaller than the Stage Tool Seat I.D.’s and will seat properly on the floating equipment
or landing baffle. Verify that the cementing head contains no foreign plugs or objects. If plugs are to be pre-loaded, verify
that the plug release mechanism is operable and sufficient to retain the plugs. Also verify that cementing head has a
means, such as an equalizing channel or standpipe, to prevent the top cup of the cementing plug from forming a vacuum
against the top cap, this could prevent the cementing plug from launching.
PROCEDURE
1. If a rubber Seal-Off Plate is to be used, place it on top of the float equipment upon which the First Stage Plug will land.
NOTE: The rubber Seal-Off Plate may be used on float equipment with flat landing surfaces only. It should not be
used on 4-1/2” or 5” equipment or on equipment with tapered surfaces, such as ball-activated differential and
automatic fill equipment or insert equipment.
2. While running casing, install the Stage Cementing Tool at the desired location in casing string.
NOTE: Do not place tongs on any part of Stage Tool.
3. After casing is landed and circulated, mix and pump first stage cement.
NOTE: Do not pre-load First Stage Plug with half round nose.
4. Open cement plug container and drop First Stage Plug on top of first stage cement. (Cement lines may be washed
before displacement.)
5. Pump the calculated amount of displacement fluid and bump First Stage Plug. To seal plug and test casing, pressure
up to 500 psi above circulating pressure.
A. Always record the rate and pressure required to pump plugs prior to bumping. Also record the volume or stroke
count required to achieve the 500 psi (or the maximum bump pressure) above the circulating pressure and the
volume of bleed-back when pressure is released (This information may be required to determine if the opening
cone reached the opening seat).
B. Flexible plugs may be pumped through the Stage Tool at flow rates of up to 10 bpm.
6. Release pressure and check float valves for flow back. With float valves holding, open plug container and drop 751E
Free-Fall Opening Cone after removing eyebolt from it.
NOTE: The 751E Closing Plug can be pre-loaded in plug container if retaining mechanism is sufficient to retain plug
in cementing head. It is recommended that a positive plug release indicator (tattletale, flag, etc.) be used but
only if it does not interfere with the sealing ability of the plug fins.
Stage Tool Manual
Section - Page 4-31
7. Allow time for Opening Cone to fall to Stage Cementing Tool, normally about 1 minute for 200 ft. Allow additional
falling time for heavier fluids.
8. Pressure up to 700 to 1000 psi to open Stage Tool (400 to 700 psi for 16” thru 20” Stage Tools). When the Stage
Tool opens, establish circulation to condition hole. If Stage Tool does not to open, release pressure, allow additional
time for Opening Cone to reach Stage Tool, then repeat pressure build up.
OPTIONS: If the stage tool does not open at the set pressure, then determine if the opening cone is seated in the tool
by comparing pump strokes or bleed-back volume to values recorded when bumping the first stage plug
(applying identical pressures). If count or volume is less than before, this is an indication that the cone is
seated and additional pressure can be applied to open the tool (do not exceed safe limits of the stage tool,
casing or cementing head). If the count or volume is the same as before, this is an indication that the cone
has not reached the seat or not seated properly. Action to advance the cone further down the casing
should be employed, such as surging (applying pressure rapidly), pipe manipulation, or use of a sinker bar.
9. After opening tool and conditioning hole, mix and pump second stage cement.
NOTE: Verify you are pumping through the stage tool by comparing circulation pressure recorded when the First
Stage Plug landed.
10. After pumping cement, release 751E Closing Plug and verify that plug has left cementing head. (Cement lines may
be washed before displacement.)
11. Pump calculated amount of displacement fluid to seat Closing Plug in Stage Tool.
NOTE: The Closing Plug should be landed at a flow rate in barrels per minute (bpm) equal to one-half the casing
diameter, in inches, up to a maximum of 8 bpm and a minimum of 3 bpm.
12. When Closing Plug seats, continue pumping until the pressure indicated below in psi over displacement pressure is
achieved. These are minimum pressures in excess of displacement pressures; higher pressures may be required as
needed. (Do not exceed safe limits of casing or cement head.)

EQUIPMENT
A Two-Stage (Model 751E) Cementing Tool furnished with a Flexible Shut-Off Plug and Baffle, 751E Free-Fall Opening
Cone, and 751E Closing Plug are required for Regular Two-Stage Cementing with Shut-Off Plug. Conventional,
automatic fill, or differential fill float equipment may be used below the Shut-Off Baffle. A 751E Landing Collar with Shut-
Off Baffle is required for threads other than 8-round or Buttress.
NOTE: A Pump-Down Opening Plug System or a Hydraulic Opening Stage Tool is recommended for wells with a
deviation greater than 25° above the stage tool and for other situations where the free-fall opening cone may not reach
the stage tool in a timely manner. The Pump-Down Opening Plug and Shut-Off Plug cannot be run together.
INSPECTION
Check Opening Cone and Closing Plug to verify that they will seat properly in Stage Tool. Ascertain that the Shut-Off
Plug Nose O.D. is smaller than the Stage Tool Seat I.D.’s and will seat properly on the landing baffle, and that the Screw-
In Baffle, or Landing Collar, threads match the casing threads. Verify that the cementing head contains no foreign plugs
or objects. If plugs are to be pre-loaded, verify that the plug release mechanism is operable and sufficient to retain the
plugs. Also verify that cementing head has a means, such as an equalizing channel or standpipe, to prevent the top cup
of the cementing plugs from forming a vacuum against the top cap, this could prevent the cementing plug from launching.
PROCEDURE
1. Install the Shut-Off Baffle in a coupling or install landing collar with Shut-Off baffle at desired location in casing string.
Install insert baffle with tapered surface facing up. For 8-round and Buttress casing, the screw-in baffles can be
placed in box connection of most Weatherford float equipment.
NOTE: The First Stage Shut-off Plug can be pre-loaded if retaining mechanism is sufficient to retain plug in cementing
head. It is recommended that a positive plug release indicator (tattletale, flag, etc.) be used but only if it does
not interfere with the sealing ability of the plug fins.

NOTE: The First Stage Plug and Free-Fall Opening Cone of the regular plug set furnished with a 751E Two-Stage
Cementing Tool are not to be used in continuous Two-Stage Cementing. Do not use a Seal-Off Plate with this
system.
INSPECTION
Check Opening and Closing Plugs to verify that they will seat properly in Stage Tool. Ascertain that the Bypass Plug will
land properly on the floating equipment or landing collar. The flow inlet of the float collar must be at least 0.25" smaller
than the bypass plug nose OD in order for fluid to bypass without restriction. If not, an insert baffle plate (such as the
Model 1005) may be installed above the float collar to land the bypass plug. Verify that the cementing head contains no
foreign plugs or objects. If plugs are to be pre-loaded, verify that the plug release mechanism is operable and sufficient to
retain the plugs. Also verify that cementing head has a means, such as an equalizing channel or standpipe, to prevent
the top cup of the cementing plug from forming a vacuum against the top cap, this could prevent the cementing plug from
launching.
PROCEDURE
1. If the flow inlet ID of the float collar upon which the bypass plug lands is not at least 0.25” smaller than the bypass

MODEL 754HO STAGE CEMENTING TOOL OPERATION

The operational sequence drawing, on the next page, illustrates the operation of the Weatherford Hydraulic Opening
Stage Cementing Tool (Model 754 HO). In the going-in-hole position, the internal hydraulic sleeve with O-ring seals
closes the stage tool cementing ports. In this configuration, all spaces between the movable internal closing sleeve,
hydraulic sleeve, and the stage tool body are open to either the inside of the casing or annulus. Thus atmospheric
pressure traps are avoided and the elastomeric O-ring seals on the internal closing and hydraulic sleeve are subjected
only to the differential pressure between the inside of the casing and the annulus and not absolute down hole pressures.
To open the stage tool for cementing or circulation, a flexible shut-off plug must be pumped down through the stage tool
and landed on a shut-off baffle below the tool. Hydraulic pressure must be increased within the casing to the opening
pressure specified in psi over the annulus pressure at the stage tool. As this differential pressure is reached, the shear
screws holding the hydraulic sleeve to the sleeve retainer are sheared and the hydraulic sleeve moves down and stops as
it seats on the sleeve retainer. In this position, fluid is allowed to flow from within the inside of the casing into the annulus.
Anti-rotation pins, which are attached to the body and rest inside of the anti-rotation slots in the closing sleeve, prevent
rotation of the sleeve thereby assuring alignment of the ports.
To close the tool body ports, a closing plug is pumped down the casing to the closing seat. Pressure (1000-1500 psi
above circulation pressure depending upon tool size) applied within the casing above the closing plug shears the shear
screws between the closing sleeve and the closing seat and moves the closing seat downward until it contacts the end of
the recess in the closing sleeve. The circumferential locking lugs are then cammed into a recess in the closing seat and
the entire closing sleeve is forced downward under pressure until it contacts the pin sub. Slots in the nose of the closing
plug allow fluid to flow from the casing below the plug into the vacancy created as the closing sleeve moves downward. A
snap ring snaps outward into a recess in the tool body and prevents upward movement of the internal closing sleeve
when pressure is released. The internal closing sleeve with o-ring seals closes the ports in the tool body.
The hydraulic sleeve, sleeve retainer, and closing seat are made of aluminum, which may be subsequently drilled out.
Rotation of the closing seat is prevented by the locking lugs between the seat and the closing sleeve. A guide slot in the
closing seat assures alignment of the lugs with the recesses in the closing seat. The tapered seat between the hydraulic
sleeve and the sleeve retainer locks the sleeve to the retainer. Using left-hand threads to attach it to the internal closing
sleeve prevents rotation of the sleeve retainer. The anti-rotation slots in the closing sleeve prevent its rotation relative to
the body. Setscrews through the tool body wall and into the pin end sub prevent rotation of the pin sub relative to the
body.
features added to prevent rotation of the components relative to each other.

MODEL 754HO TWO-STAGE CEMENTING

EQUIPMENT
A Model 754HO Stage Cementing Tool furnished with Plug Set consisting of a 754 Shut-Off Plug and Baffle and 754
Closing Plug are required for Two-Stage Cementing. Conventional, automatic fill, or differential fill float equipment may be
used below the Shut-Off Baffle. An optional 754 Opening Cone may be furnished on request for free fall opening if the
deviation of the hole above the tool is 25° or less. A 754 Landing Collar with shut-off baffle is required for threads other
than 8-round or Buttress.
INSPECTION
Check the Closing Plug to verify that it will seat properly in Stage Tool. Ascertain that the Shut-Off Plug Nose O.D. is
smaller than the Stage Tool Seat I.D.’s and will seat properly on the landing baffle, and that the Screw-In Baffle, or
Landing Collar, threads match the casing threads. Verify that the cementing head contains no foreign plugs or objects. If
plugs are to be pre-loaded, verify that the plug release mechanism is operable and sufficient to retain the plugs. Also
verify that cementing head has a means, such as an equalizing channel or standpipe, to prevent the top cup of the
cementing plug from forming a vacuum against the top cap, this could prevent the cementing plug from launching. Verify
that the appropriate number of shear screws are installed in the hydraulic sleeve to achieve the desired opening pressure
and that tool opening pressure does not exceed casing internal yield pressure or casing hardware ratings.
NOTE: Stage Tool opening pressure should exceed by 700 psi the maximum differential pressure expected across the
tool while circulating, activating liner hangers or auto-fill equipment, and cementing. High differential pressures
often occur during first stage cementing when the casing above the tool is filled with cement or when the first
stage cement is displaced. Do not exceed safe internal pressure ratings of the casing and cementing equipment.
PROCEDURE
For 8-round and Buttress casing, the screw-in baffles can be placed in box connection of most Weatherford float
equipment.
NOTE: Install insert baffle with taper facing up.
4. Open cement plug container and drop 754 Shut-Off plug on top of first stage cement. (Cement lines may be washed
NOTE: The 754 Shut-Off Plug and Closing Plug can be preloaded in plug container only if retaining mechanism is
sufficient to retain plug in cementing head. It is recommended that a positive plug release indicator (tattle tail,
flat, etc.) be used but only if it does not interfere with the sealing ability of the plug fins.
5. Pump calculated amount of displacement fluid and bump 754 Shut-Off Plug on baffle. Pressure up to 500 psi above
circulating pressure to insure plug has landed.
A. Always record the rate and pressure required to pump plugs prior to bumping.

7. Pump calculated amount of displacement fluid. Lower pump rate to 2 to 3 bpm just prior to landing the 754 Shut-Off
Plug on the baffle.
A. Always record flow rate and pressure required to pump plug prior to bumping.
B. The Shut-Off Plug may be pumped through the stage tool at flow rates of up to 10 bpm.
8. When the plug lands, allow the pressure to slowly increase to 50% to 75% of the calculated ACP opening pressure
and hold that pressure for 2 to 5 minutes. Record volume in displacement tank.
9. Inflate ACP following manufacturer’s recommended procedure. (This may involve slowly increasing the pressure in
250 psi/min incremented stages to the calculated ACP opening pressure, then holding for 10 minutes without allowing
the pressure to drop more than 250 psi.) Record volume in displacement tank.
10. Bleed surface pressure to pressure in Step 8 and compare to prior volume in displacement tank to determine net
inflation volume. (Volume change in displacement may not be noticeable on short ACP’s.)
NOTE: Repeat steps 8 through 10 for multiple ACP applications.
11. Apply pressure to casing until stage tool opens (Refer to specifications furnished with tool for stage tool opening

OPTIONS: If the ACP inflation valve fails, pressure cannot be increased sufficiently to open the stage tool, and
sufficient circulation can be established to displace a plug, a Pump-Down Opening Plug may be displaced
to the hydraulic sleeve to open the stage tool. Otherwise, a free-fall opening cone can be used to gravitate
to the hydraulic opening sleeve, or it can be mechanically pushed to the opening seat in highly deviated
wells. In these situations, the opening pressure will be lower than hydraulic opening setting pressure by
approximately 1/3 the set pressure.

Closing Plug assembly, bottom release dart, top release dart, and 754 Shut-Off Baffle (or Landing Collar); and crossovers
to liner or subsea hanger stinger are required for stage cementing with customer-furnished liner hanger or subsea casing
hanger. For 7" to 13-3/8” sizes, a swivel equalizer is required. Conventional, automatic fill, or differential fill float
equipment may be used below the Shut-Off Baffle, but insure that the equipment can be converted with a pressure at
least 700 psi below the opening/setting pressures of the liner hanger, and Stage Tool, or at a flow rate less than the
maximum recommended flow rate for the plug set. Liner (casing), drill pipe, and liner hanger (subsea casing hanger)
running tools will also be required.
INSPECTION
Inspect the Stage Tool and auxiliary equipment upon arrival at location. Check stage tool for dents, damaged threads,
etc. Check the First Stage Shut-Off Plug dimensions to verify that it will pass through the Stage Tool and seat properly in
the Shut-Off Baffle. Check the Closing Plug dimensions to verify that it landed properly in the Stage tool closing seat.
Verify that the darts are the correct size for the drill pipe (OD of fins should be at least .12" larger than the maximum ID)
and can pass through the smallest ID of the drill pipe, connections, running tools, and crossovers. (See specification
sheet furnished with tool for minimum drift required to run plugs, e.g., 2.375" drift is required for the 5" drill pipe darts used
with the 7" stage tool.) Drift drill pipe and running tools to minimum specified drift or larger. Make sure that the Shut-Off
Baffle threads match the casing coupling threads, or that a landing collar is furnished for premium connections. Verify that
the cementing head contains no foreign plugs or objects. If plugs are to be pre-loaded, verify that the plug release
SETTING PRESSURES
Liner Hanger and Stage Tool setting/opening pressures should exceed by at least 700 psi the maximum pressure
expected while circulating. If a hydraulic set liner hanger is used, verify that the setting pressure is at least 700 psi below
the Stage Tool opening pressures. For example, a 7" liner can have the hydraulic liner hanger set at 1500 psi, and the
hydraulic opening stage tool at 2380 psi (7 shear screws).
Verify that the appropriate number of shear screws are installed in the hydraulic sleeve of the Stage Tool to achieve the
desired opening pressure. Unless otherwise instructed, Stage Tools are shipped with all shear screws installed for
maximum opening pressure. The opening pressure can be adjusted by removing hydraulic sleeve shear screws with an

(SSR) PLUG SET FOR LINER STAGE CEMENTING WITH ANNULAR
CASING PACKER
EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS
A Model 754PDC Stage Cementing Tool; SSR Plug Set Model No. 854 consisting of a flexible First Stage Shut-Off Plug &
Closing Plug assembly, bottom release dart, top release dart, and 754 Shut-Off Baffle (or Landing Collar); and crossovers
to liner or subsea hanger stinger are required for stage cementing with customer-furnished liner hanger or subsea casing
hanger. Use of an ACP is optional. For 7" to 13-3/8” sizes, a swivel equalizer is required. Conventional, automatic fill, or
differential fill float equipment may be used below the Shut-Off Baffle, but insure that the equipment can be converted with
a pressure at least 700 psi below the opening/setting pressures of the liner hanger, ACP, and Stage Tool, or at a flow rate
less than the maximum recommended flow rate for the plug set. Liner (casing), drill pipe, and liner hanger (subsea casing
hanger) running tools will also be required.
INSPECTION
Inspect the Stage Tool and auxiliary equipment upon arrival at location. Check stage tool for dents, damaged threads,
etc. Check the First Stage Shut-Off Plug dimensions to verify that it will pass through the Stage Tool and seat properly in
the Shut-Off Baffle. Check the Closing Plug dimensions to verify that it landed properly in the Stage tool closing seat.
Verify that the darts are the correct size for the drill pipe (OD of fins should be at least .12" larger than the maximum ID)
and can pass through the smallest ID of the drill pipe, connections, running tools, and crossovers. (See specification
sheet furnished with tool for minimum drift required to run plugs, e.g., 2.375" drift is required for the 5" drill pipe darts used
with the 7" stage tool.) Drift drill pipe and running tools to minimum specified drift or larger. Make sure that the Shut-Off
Baffle threads match the casing coupling threads, or that a landing collar is furnished for premium connections. Verify that
the cementing head contains no foreign plugs or objects. If plugs are to be pre-loaded, verify that the plug release
this could prevent the cementing plug from launching. If ACP is used, remove knock-off plugs from the ID of the ACP
before running.
SETTING PRESSURES
Liner Hanger, ACP and Stage Tool setting/opening pressures should exceed by at least 700 psi the maximum pressure
expected while circulating. If a hydraulic set liner hanger is used, verify that the setting pressure is at least 700 psi below
the ACP and Stage Tool opening pressures. If an ACP is used, verify that the setting pressure is at least 700 psi lower
than the opening pressure of the stage tool and at least 70 psi higher than the hydraulic set liner hanger. For example, a
7" liner can have the hydraulic liner hanger set at 1500 psi, the ACP at 2250 psi, and the hydraulic opening stage tool at
3060 psi (9 shear screws).
Verify that the appropriate number of shear screws are installed in the hydraulic sleeve of the Stage Tool to achieve the
desired opening pressure. Unless otherwise instructed, Stage Tools are shipped with all shear screws installed for
maximum opening pressure. The opening pressure can be adjusted by removing hydraulic sleeve shear screws with an
Allen wrench furnished until the desired opening pressure is achieved. (See Specifications furnished with stage tool for
psi opening pressure per screw.) Setting/opening pressures for hydraulic pressure activated equipment should not
exceed 80% of the casing internal yield pressure or casing hardware ratings.

MODEL 781 & 782 PACK-OFF STAGE TOOL (P.O.S.T.) OPERATION

The Model 781 Pack-Off Stage Tool Operational Sequence drawing, located on the following page, illustrates the
operation of the Model 781 (2-stage) and 782 (3-stage) Inflatable Pack-Off Multiple Stage Cementing Tools. In the Run-In
position, the stage tool cementing ports and packer inflation channels are closed by the inner sleeve and by the external
sleeve with O-ring seals. In this configuration, all spaces between the inner sleeve, the stage tool body, and the external
sleeve are vented to either the inside of the casing or the annulus. Thus atmospheric pressure traps are avoided and the
elastomeric O-ring seals are subjected only to the differential pressure between the inside of the casing and the annulus--
not absolute downhole pressures. The packer element cannot be inflated until an opening cone shifts the inner sleeve.
To inflate the packer and open the stage tool for circulation and cementing, a weighted opening cone is dropped into the
casing and allowed to gravitate to the opening seat. Hydraulic pressure must be increased by 400 to 1000 psi within the
casing above the opening cone until the shear screws are sheared between the stage tool body and the inner sleeve.
The inner sleeve moves downward until its movement is stopped by the intermediate locking lugs contacting the lower
end of the lug recess in the body. In this position, the inner sleeve ports align with the stage tool body ports, allowing fluid
to flow from the inside of the casing into the inflatable packer element through inflation channels which include a check
valve.
Pressure applied within the casing is diverted into the packer element until the packer setting pressure is reached. The
packer setting pressure is determined by the number of external shear screws installed in the external sleeve. When the
setting pressure is reached, the external shear screws are sheared. The external sleeve is forced downward by pressure
acting on the differential area between the upper and lower seals on the external sleeve, allowing circulation from the
casing into the annulus and ending packer inflation. Pressure is trapped within the inflated packer element by a check
valve. The inflated packer element seals the annulus.
To close the stage tool cementing ports, a closing plug is pumped down the casing to the closing seat. Pressure (800-
1500 PSI above circulation pressure depending upon size) applied within the casing above the closing plug shears the
shear screws between the inner sleeve and the closing seat and moves the closing seat downward until it contacts the
end of the recess in the inner sleeve. The intermediate locking lugs are then cammed into a recess in the closing seat
and the entire inner sleeve is forced downward under pressure until it contacts the adapter sub. The inner sleeve with O-
ring seals closes the ports in the stage tool body. Since the body bore is the same above and below the ports at the
seals, external pressure cannot force the inner sleeve to move upward and open the tool. A snap ring engages a recess
in the stage tool body and prevents upward movement of the inner sleeve when running through the casing after drillout.
The opening seat and closing seat are made of aluminum, which may be subsequently drilled out. Rotation of the closing
seat is prevented by the intermediate locking lugs that lie within the anti-rotation recesses in the closing seat. A brass
screw within a guide slot in the closing seat assures alignment of the lugs with the recesses in the closing seat. Using
left-hand threads to attach it to the unitary sleeve prevents rotation of the opening seat during drill out. The anti-rotation
slots in the unitary sleeve prevent its rotation relative to the body during drill out. Setscrews through the tool body wall
and into the pin sub prevent rotation of the pin sub relative to the body.

CEMENTING
EQUIPMENT
A Model 781 (Two-Stage) Pack-Off Stage Tool (P.O.S.T.) furnished with a flexible First Stage Plug, 751E Free-Fall
Opening Cone, and 751E Closing Plug are required for Pack-Off Two-Stage Cementing. Conventional, automatic fill, or
differential fill float equipment may be used. If desired, a rubber Seal-Off Plate may be ordered separately.
Refer to the specification sheet for information concerning the dimensions, plugs, and ratings of each POST tool.
NOTE: A pump-down opening system is recommend for wells with a deviation greater than 25° above the Pack-Off stage
tool and for other situations where the free-fall opening cone may not reach the stage tool in a timely manner.
INSPECTION
Inspect Pack-Off Stage Tool and auxiliary equipment upon arrival at location. Check Pack-Off Stage Tool for dents,
damaged threads, etc. Check Opening and Closing Plug to verify that they will seat properly in Pack-Off Stage Tool.
Ascertain that the First Stage Plug Nose O.D. is smaller than the Pack-Off Stage Tool Seat I.D.’s and will seat properly on
the float equipment or landing baffle. Verify that the cementing head contains no foreign plugs or objects. If plugs are to
be pre-loaded, verify that the plug release mechanism is operable and sufficient to retain the plugs. Also verify that
cementing head has a means, such as an equalizing channel or standpipe, to prevent the top cup of the cementing plug
from forming a vacuum against the top cap, this could prevent the cementing plug from launching. Verify that the
maximum O.D. of the P.O.S.T. is less than the casing drift and hole size including any restrictions.
Determining how many external shear screws to use:
Proper selection of inflation pressure (pressure in the packer element and opening of the external sleeve to allow flow to
the annulus) can be critical to the operation and performance of the tool. For optimum performance, the inflation pressure
should be set between 1000 to 1500 psi. Pressure selection between this range will also reduce the risk of damage to the
packer element that may be caused by casing stretch/ movement as pressure is applied. Unless otherwise specified, all
external shear screws are installed and a differential pressure from casing to annulus is required to shear. To calculate
how many of these screws should be left in the tool, the following information is needed:
a. Location of Pack-Off Stage Tool and Hole size at depth.
b. Fluid weights and level in annulus (as close as possible).
c. Any caliper logs available?
d. Any lost circulation problems?
1. Calculate the hydrostatic pressure at the P.O.S.T. inside the casing.
2. Calculate the hydrostatic pressure at the P.O.S.T. in the annulus.
3. Subtract #2 from #1 to obtain the hydrostatic differential pressure in psi at the tool.
4. *Add the maximum inner sleeve opening pressure in psi (usually 400 to 600 psi as specified) to the differential
pressure calculated in #3. The addition of the opening pressure provides a buffer between the shifting of the
internal sleeve and pressure to shift the external sleeve. However, the addition of the opening pressure can
be eliminated, but precautions should be taken to prevent the premature shifting of the external sleeve.
5. **Divide the answer to #4 by the pressure per shear screw (see chart below), and round up to the nearest
whole number to obtain the number of external shear screws required.
Size Pressure per Screw Number of Screws

(psi) (max)
5-1/2” 250 12
9-5/8” 250 12
13-3/8” 160 8
18-5/8” 175 9
Note: The 13-3/8” “Slim-Hole” P.O.S.T. (15.50” OD) has locations for 10
shear screws but shipped with 8 shear screws installed.
Stage Tool Manual
Section - Page 4-87
* There is an Inner Sleeve in the P.O.S.T. that shifts between 400 and 600 PSI and allows the element to begin
inflating (shifting pressure is lower for POST than standard Model 751E stage tools). Removal of the internal
shear screws will reduce the initial shift/inflating pressure. The maximum inner sleeve opening pressure shown in
the P.O.S.T. specifications should be used in step #4 of the calculation above.
** The minimum number of external shear screws recommended is 5 for the 5-1/2” and 9-5/8” sizes and 7 for 13-
3/8” and 18-5/8”, unless special measures have been taken to reduce the number of internal shear screws. If the
fluid level in the annulus is not accurately known, do a calculation based on the lowest anticipated fluid level. If
the calculated differential pressure is greater than the External Sleeve shear pressure, as calculated for #4, the
external sleeve may open before the packer is fully set.
NOTE: Removing internal screws to reduce the opening pressure; also reduces the closing pressure. For
opening, the internal shear screws consist of active and non-active shear screws. Only the active shear screws
(full threaded screw) should be removed to reduce the opening pressure. Active shear screws are a full-threaded
screw, and the non-active shear screws have a turned down point. Reinstall the non-active shear screws if
removed because they are for closing the tool.
PROCEDURE
While running casing, install the Pack-Off Stage Cementing Tool at the desired location in the casing string.
NOTE:
A. Tongs may be placed only on the mandrel of the POST between the element and the pin thread.
B. If placed in open hole, the POST should be placed in a near-gage section as determined by caliper logs.
Differential pressure charts should be consulted to verify pressure rating across inflated packer element at
measured ID.
NOTES: Do not pre-load First Stage Plug with half round nose.
3. Open cement plug container. Release First Stage Plug on top of the first stage cement. (Cement lines may be

volume of bleed-back when pressure is released (This information may later be required to determine if the
opening cone reached the opening seat in the POST).
B. Flexible plugs may be pumped through the Pack-Off Stage Tool at flow rates of up to 10 bpm.
NOTE: The 751E Closing Plug can be pre-loaded in plug container if retaining mechanism is sufficient to retain
plug in cementing head. It is recommended that a positive plug release indicator (tattletale, flag, etc.) be
used but only if it does not interfere with the sealing ability of the plug fins.
6. Allow time for Opening Cone to fall to Pack-Off Stage Cementing Tool, normally about 1 minute per 200 ft (or 5
minutes per 1000 ft.) Allow additional falling time for heavier fluids.
Stage Tool Manual
Section - Page 4-88
7. Pressure up to the lowest anticipated initial shift pressure (normally 400 to 700 PSI), and increase pressure slowly
until an indication of the initial shift is seen, or the maximum shift pressure (1000 PSI) is reached (do not exceed the
external sleeve set pressure). Indications of shift would be:
A. A momentary drop in pressure as the sleeve shifts down.
B. A decrease in weight on the weight indicator as the packer begins to inflate.
NOTE: An easy check to determine if the opening cone is seated is to compare the fluid volume from bumping the
first stage plug to that of the volume being returned when trying to open the tool (applying the same
pressure). If the volumes are near equal, then the cone is not properly seated in the tool. Allow additional
time for the cone to fall the attempt to pressure again. A sinker bar on wire line can be use to tag the cone
and knock it into the seat.
8. Maintain 700 to 800 PSI for 1 to 2 minutes after initial shift to allow the packer to fully inflate.
NOTE: A slow pressure drop may continue to occur after the initial packer inflation due to bleed off through the vent
port, which equalizes the external sleeve while casing is run into the hole.
9. Increase pressure slowly at increments of 200 psi per minute to allow for packer inflation until the External Sleeve
shifts open, allowing circulation into the annulus.
NOTE: Verify you are pumping through the stage tool by comparing circulation pressure to the pressure recorded just
prior to landing the First Stage Plug.

MODEL 781 PACK-OFF STAGE TOOL (PUMP DOWN OPENING)

CONTINUOUS TWO-STAGE CEMENTING
EQUIPMENT
A Model 781C (Two-Stage) Pack-Off Stage Tool (P.O.S.T.) furnished with Closing Plug and Plug Set 751E-2C consisting
of a Bypass Plug and 751E Pump Down Opening Plug are required for Continuous Pack-Off Two-Stage Cementing.
Conventional, automatic fill, or differential fill float equipment may be used. A pump-down opening system is
recommended for wells with a deviation greater than 25° above the Pack-Off Stage Tool and for other situations where
the free-fall opening cone may not reach the stage tool in a timely manner.
NOTE: The First Stage Plug and Free-Fall Opening Cone of the regular plug set furnished with a 781 Pack-Off Stage
Tool are not to be used in continuous two stage cementing. Do not use a seal off plate with this system.
INSPECTION
damaged threads, etc. Check Opening and Closing Plugs to verify that they will seat properly in Pack-Off Stage Tool.
Ascertain that the Bypass plug will land properly on the floating equipment or landing collar. The flow inlet of the float
collar must be at least 0.25" smaller than the bypass plug nose OD in order for fluid to bypass without restriction. If not,
an insert baffle plate (such as the Model 1005) may be installed above the float collar to land the bypass plug. Verify that
the cementing head contains no foreign plugs or objects. If Closing Plug are to be pre-loaded, verify that the plug release
this could prevent the cementing plug from launching. Verify that the maximum O.D. of the P.O.S.T. is less than the
casing drift and hole size including any restrictions.

PROCEDURE
1. If the flow inlet ID of the float collar upon which the bypass plug lands is not at least 0.25” smaller than the bypass
2. While running casing, install the Pack-Off Stage Cementing Tool at the desired location in the casing string.
NOTE:
A. Tongs may be placed only on the mandrel of the POST between the element and the pin thread. If placed in
open hole, the POST should be placed in a near-gage section as determined by caliper logs.
Differential pressure charts should be consulted to verify pressure rating across inflated packer element.
NOTE: Do not pre-load Bypass Plug and Pump-Down Opening Plug.
4. Open cement plug container. Release Bypass Plug on top of the first stage cement. (Cement lines may be washed
NOTE: Carefully calculate and measure the volume of displacement fluid pumped between Bypass Plug and Pump-
Down Opening Plug. An error can result in over or under displacement of the first stage cement. The use of
a 90% factor is insurance against any over displacement, but will result in an additional amount of cement to
be drilled out above the float collar.
5. Pump a measured amount of displacement fluid equal to 90% of the volume in the casing from the float collar, or
landing baffle if applicable, to the 782 Pack-Off Stage Tool. Open the cement plug container and release the Pump
Down Opening Plug.
NOTE: The Closing Plug can be pre-loaded in plug container if retaining mechanism is sufficient to retain plug in
Stage Tool Manual
Section - Page 4-96
Opening Plug will seat on the Pack-Off Stage Tool Opening Seat. When the plug is seated a pressure of 400 to 1000
psi above the circulating pressure will open the stage tool. (Because of inertia of the fluid being pumped this pressure
may not show on the surface.)
A. Always record the rate and pressure required to pump plugs prior to bumping. Also record the volume or
stroke count required to achieve the 500 psi (or the maximum bump pressure) above the circulating pressure
and the volume of bleed-back when pressure is released (This information may later be required to determine
if the opening cone reached the opening seat in the POST).
C. The Pump Down Opening Plug should be landed at a flow rate of 1 to 2 bpm to allow for a slow controllable
increase in pressure.
7. Pressure up to the lowest anticipated initial shift pressure (normally 400-700 PSI), and increase pressure slowly until
an indication of the initial shift is seen, or the maximum shift pressure (1000 PSI) is reached (do not exceed the
time for the cone to fall then attempt to pressure again. A sinker bar on wire line can be use to tag the cone
8. Maintain 700-800 PSI for 1-2 minutes after initial shift to allow the packer to fully inflate.
9. Increase pressure slowly, in increments of 200 psi per minute to allow for full packer inflation, until the External Sleeve
shifts open allowing circulation into the annulus.
11. After pumping cement, release Closing Plug and verify that plug has left cementing head. (Cementing lines may be

15. If excessive and continued bleed-back is observed, “run into” the Stage Tool with a higher pump rate and/or pressure.
OPTION: If excessive bleed-back without pressure drop still continues after several attempts or if the pressure drops
off when applying pressure to the closing plug, it is recommended that the casing be shut-in at the surface
after releasing 50’ to 100’ of cement back into the casing. (This could be a result of a casing leak. The
cement may seal off the leak path).

SECTION 6. DRILL OUT PROCEDURES
Stage Tool Manual
STAGE TOOL DRILLOUT RECOMMENDATIONS

PREPARATION:
TM TM
* Use of Tube-Lok on Stage Tool threads is optional. If Tube-Lok is used, apply a thin coating to the full length of the
pin connections only.
* Spot some cement slurry on top of the cementing plugs to help prevent them from rotating during drill out.
* Use of three-cone, long-milled tooth rotary bit is recommended. The bit should be designed for medium to soft
formations and should be as large as possible.
* Do not drill in an automatic mode, but maintain manual control at all times.
* Use a junk basket to catch drilled particles and/or a casing scraper if drilling production casing.
* Reamers and stabilizers installed close to the bit are recommended to help keep the bit on target.
DRILLOUT:
* Drill at least 40 to 60 RPM. Caution: NEVER EXCEED 100 RPM.
* Apply 2000 to 3000 lbs. of drilling weight per inch of bit diameter. (A six inch bit would require 12,000 to 18,000 lbs. of
drilling weight.) DO NOT SPUD ON TARGET.
* Use a pump rate that will circulate cuttings without decreasing bit weight on the target. (A pump rate of 40 gpm per inch
of bit diameter is a good starting point.) DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE PUMPING RATES.
* Maintain at least 2.0 hhp (hydraulic horsepower) per sq. in. of bit surface.
* Raise and lower the bit occasionally while continuing to drill and circulate. This action will help clear junk from the bit.
* After drilling through the Stage Tool, run the bit up and down through the Stage Tool at least three (3) times while
rotating.
Stage Tool Manual
STAGE TOOL PDC BIT DRILLOUT RECOMMENDATIONS

PREPARATION:
TM TM
* Use of Tube-Lok on Stage Tool threads is optional. If Tube-Lok is used, apply a thin coating to the full length of the
pin connections only.
* Spot some cement slurry on top of the cementing plugs to help prevent them from rotating during drill out.
* Check the bit diameter and the Stage Tool drill out diameters to verify clearances.
* Do not drill in an automatic mode, but maintain manual control at all times.
DRILLOUT:
Use 60 to 80 RPM and sufficient flow rate to remove drill cuttings. Some operators use 40 GPM per inch of bit diameter
as a starting point. Apply 2,000 pounds (909 kg) weight on bit until the bit pattern is made. Slowly build up to 2,000 to
3,000 (909 to 1,363 kg) pounds weight per inch of bit diameter. (A six inch bit would require 12,000 - 18,000 lbs. of drilling
weight.) With motor bits use optimum weight and RPM which will not stall bit.
If the rate of penetration (ROP) slows or the torque increases, the bit should be raised while continuing to rotate and
circulate. Slowly lower the bit and follow the above recommendations. This helps remove debris and cementing plug
wipers.
If the ROP stops or the torque declines, this could indicate that the bit is spinning on the closing plug. Stop rotating,
reduce the flow rate to two or three BPM, and put 3,000 to 5,000 pounds (1,363 to 2,272 kg) WOB (Note: High flow rates
will decrease the effective WOB). Slowly begin rotating to 40 RPM (with a motor bit, use the lowest RPM which will not
stall the motor). Increase WOB to 10,000 to 12,000 pounds (4,545 to 5,454 kg). Resume drilling with original parameters
once normal drilling characteristics are observed.
If the drillout characteristics change, i.e. drill pipe or rotary table start vibrating excessively, change either the WOB, RPM,
or the circulation rate until the drillout characteristics normalize. Resume drilling with the original parameters once normal
drillout characteristics are observed.
Convex bits tend to perform better when drilling out plugs and stage equipment than do concave bits, since convex bits
are less likely to trap foreign materials under the bit.
If the ROP stops and cannot be restarted using the above recommendations, then retrieve the bit for inspection.
After drilling through the Stage Tool, run the bit up and down through the Stage Tool at least three (3) times while rotating.

CANCELLATION PROCEDURE FOR 751E AND 754HO STAGE TOOLS

EQUIPMENT
A Cancellation cone (color coded black) in the size and model compatible with the stage tool.
CANCELLATION CONE MODEL

STAGE TOOL TYPE
NUMBER
751E 751-2D
752E 754-2D
754HO 754-2D
754PDC 751-2D
NOTE: When the Free Fall Opening Cone is in place a special cancellation cone is required.
APPLICATION
Cancellation cones are used to permanently close the stage tool without going through the opening operation. This is
desirable when the cement reaches surface on the first stage, when the well cementing program has changed after the
casing has been run or when bridging above the stage tool does not permit circulation.
PROCEDURE
1. In wells with less than 25° inclination, the cancellation cone can be dropped and will gravitate through the mud and
land on the closing seat. The cone will drop at a rate of approximately 200 feet per minute.
2. To close the stage tool, pressure up to the value indicated in the chart below. At surface the weight indicator should
jump or dome movement be apparent in the casing. There may also be a drop in pressure. This is an indication of
the inner sleeve shifting into the fully closed position. If Stage Tool fails to close, release pressure, allow additional
time for the Cancellation Cone to reach Stage Tool, then repeat pressure build-up.

4 ½” thru 5 ½” 1500
6-5/8” thru 10-3/4” 1200
11-3/4” thru 13-3/8” 1000
16” thru 20” 800
3. In wells with an inclination of greater than 25°, the cancellation cone may not reach the seat with the force of gravity
alone. The cone should be moved into position with tubing, drill pipe, or a sinker bar on wireline. Once the cone is in
position, the stage tool can be shifted closed with the application of pressure as charted above or by applying weight.
4. The stage tools can also be closed by applying weight with a casing collar, drill pipe, or bit with an OD at least 0.25”
larger than the closing seat ID and smaller than casing drift.
5. The amount of weight required to permanently close the tool can be estimated using the following formula:
2
Weight (lbs) = .785 x Closing pressure (psi) x (Pipe ID)

STORAGE AND SHELF-LIFE RECOMMENDATIONS

WEATHERFORD FLOAT & STAGE CEMENTING EQUIPMENT
This document describes storage and inspection procedures for Weatherford float and stage cementing
equipment stored in all Weatherford manufacturing departments and warehouses.
1. Float and stage cementing equipment containing elastomers should be stored under the following conditions:
a. Temperature not to exceed 150°F.
b. Minimum exposure of elastomers to sunlight and as little as possible to artificial light.
c. No storage within a radius of five yards around an electric engine or generator.
d. Keep exposure to radiation to a minimum.
2. Weatherford float and stage equipment when stored properly should have a shelf life of over 5 years from the
date of manufacture.
3. After 5 years, or at any time after exposure to harsh environments, the equipment should be inspected prior to
use to insure that the elastomers are not brittle, cracking, or debonding, and that no corrosion is present on vital
areas such as threads and sealing areas. Equipment with valves or moving parts should be operated to insure
that they are working properly. Cemented equipment should not have cracks that extend more than 1/4" below
the surface (surface cracks are acceptable).
4. Float and stage equipment with elastomers should be discarded after 10 years from date of manufacture unless
specifically approved by engineering.
5. Float equipment without elastomers and polyurethane products such as cementing plugs may have an unlimited
shelf life if stored properly.
6. The date of manufacture is normally marked on the product. This date can also be determined from the work
order number stamped on the part.

3.1 Problems involving materials, workmanship, design, manufacture, quality control, shipping, functionality,
operating procedures, service related issues, job related issues or other items shall be reported in writing.
3.2 ALL Incidents involving the above categories shall be reported using the Weatherford “Product/Service
Incident Report” form included in this procedure. Additional reports such as Job Reports, Field Reports,
Manufacturing Reports, etc., may be attached if beneficial.
3.3 The report shall be initiated by the Weatherford employee in contact with the customer associated with
the problem. This employee’s Regional Manager, or a person designated by him, shall be responsible
for tracking follow-up to insure that the appropriate Corrective Action steps are fully completed, reported
internally, and to the customer in a timely manner, and that a final corrective action review is completed in
a timely manner and the Incident Report is closed.
3.3.1 The initiator shall complete the attached form in as detailed a manner as possible so that all pertinent
facts concerning the occurrence are provided. This person shall be sure to include: equipment
identification, purchase order, part numbers, job information, special requirements, special circumstances
etc.
Note: Attach supplemental information to this form where it is helpful in understanding or correcting the
problem. Reference should be made to attachments in the text of the form.
3.4 Routing is especially important in view of the fact that many times follow-up must be carried out by
persons in other divisions. Routing shall be as follows:
3.4.1 Initiator shall send the original to his Regional Manager. The Regional Manager shall review it and
approve it. Either the Regional Manager or a person designated shall determine if it can be handled
locally or it needs to be assigned to other areas of Weatherford for investigation and follow-up. This
person shall insure that it is tracked and routed to other appropriate divisions.
3.4.2 The Regional Manager, or a person designated by him, shall route a copy to the Product or Service
Coordinator as listed in Table I, if it cannot be resolved locally. If it involves an administrative issue that
can be handled on a local level, no distribution is necessary.
Stage Tool Manual
3.4.2.1 Coordinator will distribute as follows:
§ Copy to engineering
§ Copy to Product Service General Manager
§ Upon conclusion of investigation and evaluation, the coordinator will see that a final report routed
as follows:
· General Manager
· Regional Q.A. Manager
· Regional Manager
· Initiator
· The Regional Manager shall insure that appropriate feedback is provided to the
customer.
3.5 Normally, the Regional Manager will assign the local Quality Assurance Manager the responsibility to
track and insure follow up. This person shall be clearly designated by the Regional Manager to insure
that “Product/Service Incident Reports” are properly routed and tracked.
3.6 The Quality Assurance Manager of the Region, or others as designated, will be responsible for reviewing
all the facts of the occurrence in order to identify the factors contributing to the problem and its root
cause. This analysis and review will be complete and will detail all aspects including manufacturing
procedures, quality procedures, field procedures, together with field and technical aspects of the incident.
The Quality Assurance Manager will involve other personnel as needed.
3.6.1 In the case of a product quality problem, this responsibility may be delegated to the Coordinator or Quality
Assurance Manager of the Product Division at the plant level. This responsibility shall be clearly indicated
on the Incident Report form where it asks, “Who Should Investigate?”
3.7 The Quality Assurance Manager or Coordinator responsible for the Investigation will be required to see
that a written report is issued to the Manager with copies to the Initiator, other managers affected and
other divisions affected. Such report will detail what specific items were responsible for the problem,
where this can be defined, and will suggest corrective action steps.
3.8 The Quality Assurance Manager or Coordinator will maintain a file with numerical identification and filing
of all incident reports received and reported on. Such file will be maintained in his office for review.
3.9 A Log Number shall be assigned by the Region to every Incident Report by the Quality Assurance
Manager or the person designated of the Region submitting the report.
3.10 The Regional Manager of the person initiating the report shall determine “Who should Investigate” the
incident. Normally this will be either the Regional Quality Assurance Manager or the Quality Assurance
Manager or Coordinator of the manufacturing plant involved.
3.11 Be sure to clarify on the report other issues involved. These would include: timing, modifications to
equipment, other mitigating circumstances, invoices pending, threats of contract cancellation pending
response by certain dates, or other such items.
3.12 Other factors involved shall be completed on the form, but this shall relate to circumstances on the job.
Field personnel should NOT try to make engineering decisions or procedure evaluations in this section.
In summary, field personnel should gather facts and relate them, but not make product or operating
decisions.
