2 P/U Clean up BHA and RIH to above 7 5/8” LH. | ||
P/U and M/U Clean up BHA according to Engineer’s tally: P/U and M/U 7” Clean up assemblies (Assy 1 – 3) according to tally RIH on XT-39 drill pipe and space out to insure that with bit 8 – 15 ft from T.D. the landing sub is engaged with TOL P/U and M/U clean-up assemblies for the 9 7/8” casing (Assy 4 – 6) RIH on HT-55 DP according to tally | Ensure shakers are dressed with correct mesh screens – 170 API mesh to screen OBM Note: Space-out should allow for bit to be 8-15 ft from TD with TDM landed on TOL Compensate when running assemblies through BOP/WH7” liner hanger assembly Minimize the use of dope Record weight of BHA prior to making up assembly 5_______LB | |
With bit 1 stand above TOL record up and down weights. Slide through liner top slowly noting any hang up points. If required engage pumps at 2-3 bpm and rotate slowly past TOL | Up weight: _________LB Down weight: __________ LB | |
Continue RIH to Position 9 7/8” MAX Blade Scraper 45’ above production packer setting depth at xxxxx MD | Packer depth:14,150’ MD | |
Record up/down weights | Up weight: _________LB Down weight: __________ LB | |
Make up DDM and engage pumps. Stage up to max allowable rate and allow for pressure to stabilize. Engage rotation and stage up to 60 rpm. Record all parameters. | Set torque limiter. Limit to be determined by Example DE Limited by pumping pressure (popoff valve) Record pressure at 5 BPM:____ Record pressure at Max BPM:____ MAX RPM: __________ MAX TRQ: __________ ft.lb | |
Work scraper 3 x across packer setting zone maintaining pumps at max allowable rate and rotation of 60 rpm. Stop rotation and pumps once complete and continue RIH. | Clean 45’ +/- above and below packer setting area | |
3 Run to TD and condition mud. | ||
With landing sub 1 joint above liner top, open compensator and record up and down weights. RIH, tag PBR with 10k lb and confirm tally. Measure stick up with laser | Compensator open Up weight: _________LB Down weight: __________ LB | |
Pick up 2 m | ||
With TD confirmed Increase pump rate to maximum allowable stand pipe pressure and rotate pipe at maximum allowable RPM; limited only by torque capability of string components. Record parameters achieved. | Re-confirm Torque limiter is set MAX RPM: __________ MAX TRQ: __________ ft.lb MAX SPP __________ PSI MAX BPM: __________ | |
Circulate and condition OBM over screens for at least 1 ½ bottoms up. Continue circulating until even mud weight in/out Reciprocate string | Dress shaker screens to remove particles in fluid (API 170) Consider opening SRCT-RL to speed up mud conditioning if rates are slow. | |
When even mud weight in/out, stop rotation and then pumps |
4 Inflow test Operation | ||
Position stand in rotary to break pipe. Break pipe and drop 1 ¾” drag set prevention ball. Re make pipe and DDM and pump with 3 BPM, record pump pressure and note landing pressure and total strokes | Re confirm ball OD prior to dropping! Zero stroke counter prior to pumping ball to seat | |
With ball landed increase SPP to 4,200 psi to blow seat. Continue to pump and confirm returns with similar flow rate to recorded when pumping the ball to seat. | Insure even mud weight. If imbalance this will effect pressure required to release drag lock MAX SPP __________ PSI MAX BPM: __________ LANDING SPP __________ PSI TOTAL STROKES: __________ | |
Continue to RIH and re-tag TOL, continue to slack down 35 k lb +/- to set packer. | Compensator open | |
With packer set. Line up to pressure test packer integrity. Close annular and line up on kill line. Pressure up to max pressure to be seen across packer during inflow test xxxx psi and hold for 10 minutes recording pressure drop. | Cement Unit for Pressure test Pressure@ start of B/S test: __________ PSI Pressure@ end of B/S test: __________ PSI | |
With good test bleed off annulus and open Annular | The following Inflow test method is suggested until Company provide their procedure for insertion | |
Pick up 6 ft to release packer and hold for 10 minutes. Note SPP when picking up for evidence of elements being retracted | Note weight of string will be lighter with Base oil | |
Pump 280 bbls of base oil at 3 bpm to simulate underbalance Note well to be displaced to 9.5ppg CaCl2. Record final static displacement pressure and compare with expected. | SP after pumping B Oil: __________ PSI Use all pumps when initially pumping base oil so as to flush clean | |
Re-set packer slacking of 35k lb from new down weigh | ||
Bleed of SPP pressure in 500psi increments until at monitoring pressure of 100psi (accounted for in Base oil volume). Monitor annulus and SPP for leaks. | Insure annulus is monitored on the trip tank throughout operation Consider picking up weight equivalent for 500 psi increments to offset reverse ballooning effect on SRCT-RL | |
Monitor increase in pressure over 10 minute increments. Bleeding back to 100psi after each increment. | Note: pressure increase will occur during the initial stages of the inflow test due to thermal effects | |
Once a declining trend is seen to level for 3 increments the test can be determined successful. Record Final 3 pressures. | ||
With inflow test confirmed good re-pressure string to same as recorded in step 4.7 and pick up to unset packer pick up 6’ noting for free pipe movement. Hold for 10 minutes to allow elements to relax | Packer unset time: __________ Time string is moved after release: __________ | |
Pick up to maximum height allowable and Run back in hole to position landing sub 1 joint above TOL. Record up and down weights | Up weight: __________ LBDown weight: __________ LB |
5 Displacement Operation | ||
U-tube out 130 bbls of base oil on choke back to base oil pit | Do not free fall the base oil. This must be done on the choke. Trip tank pump will not keep up with U-tube rate. | |
With required Base oil in string. Dump trip tank back to the active and flush so as to make ready for clean brine when tripping out of hole. Fill choke Kill & Boost line with wash pill Rig to confirm volume required | Note: Wash pill will remain in lines until pills are at the well head at which time the riser will be boosted Consider using the cement unit to pump to the Choke and Kill lines so as to insure it is flushed. | |
Pump pills as per displacement plan found in Section 5 of Appendix 1. With maximum allowable rate and rotation | Max pump rate is only limited by pop off Rotation is limited to 120 rpm or Max allowable based on torque limit set based on free rotating torque and the weakest connection. Example to confirm in alignment with torque and drag model found in Appendix 2 | |
When indicated in the pumping table activate the SRCT-RL as per Weatherford instruction; Slack off lower string weight accounting for buoyancy and hole angle and apply additional 60k lb. Start pumps and pick up to have 10k lb compression force on the SRCT-RL and start to rotate string. | Ensure to adjust for rotating weight when starting to rotate on SRCT-RL. Torque limit with SRCT-RL in the OPEN position can be adjusted to suit the string components in the 9-7/8” section. SRCT-RL will be confirmed open by a significant drop in SPP pressure Operation of tool should take no more than 2-5 minutes. MAX weight on bearing = 50k lb for 6 hours | |
With well displaced to specification of 0.05% solids. Stop rotation and Pumps. Flow check well as per Example standards. Prepare to short trip back 5,300 ft +/- to pick up BOP and MR cleaning BHA. | Take samples as per fluids procedure in Appendix 1 to confirm fluid specification. | |
6 BOP & MR cleaning Procedure | ||
POOH xxxx ft and make up BOP clean out assemblies 1-3 as per Engineer’s BHA and trip in hole until sentinel 1 joint above flex joint. | SRCT-RL will close as soon as the sting is picked up in to tension Reference MR & BOP schematic in section 6. Insure Riser brush is spaced out 4-6’ above the flex joint when the Jetting sub has tagged the bore protector. Sentinel should be 2 stands in the 9-7/8” casing. While tripping in hole maintain boost pump so as to carry out any debris removed from the riser walls. Vortex tool will be run in open position. | |
Open compensator and carefully RIH and tag bore protector with 2-5 k lb. Pick up to space out drill pipe across rams. Stop boost pump and function rams to dislodge debris. Open rams. | OPEN COMPENSATOR. Do not function Shear Rams. | |
Re-tag bore protector and pick up 2 -3 ft. Start pumps at maximum rate allowable. Rotate string with 10 RPM. Reciprocate string 3-5 times across BOP maintaining parameters. Record all parameters. | Vortex tool washes cavities and creates a venturi effect to suck debris from cavities. Pump with max flow rate to generate the best suction. MAX RPM: __________ MAX TRQ: __________ ft.lb MAX SPP __________ PSI MAX BPM: __________ | |
On last up stroke continue to pick up to position the vortex tool above the LMRP and reciprocate until bottoms up of the riser volume has been circulated. With bottoms up circulated. Stop rotation and pumps. Position pipe to break. Break pipe and drop closing tag / ball. Pump 2.25” ball with 3 BPM until ball seats continue to pressure up to 2,000 psi to shear seat and close jetting tool. Flow is now returned to the bit. Record all parameters when pumping ball to seat. | Zero stroke counter prior to dropping 2.25” ball MAX SPP __________ PSI MAX BPM: __________ LANDING SPP __________ PSI SHEAR PRESSURE________PSI TOTAL STROKES: __________ | |
Flow check as per Example procedure | ||
POOH until bit is above TOL and flow check as per Company procedure. | Inspect tool condition as POOH, photograph and record debris type and weight for EOWR. Lay down for backload. | |
