PROCEDURE
Preparation Before Spud
The following hole section procedures do not include the weather limitations for each operation undertaken, but these can be found in the Rig Specific Work Methods and the Safety Case Manual for each rig.
5.1.1
General Weather and deck-loading conditions will determine the scope of work that can be carried out during rig move and positioning operations. The following are items to attend to, if possible: 1. 2. 3. Clean all mud pits, shakers, flow-lines, sand traps and seal dump valves, as required, and prepare for mixing spud mud. Slip and cut riser tensioner wires, if required. Slip and cut guidelines as required, fit guideline connectors or splice eyes (Ref. Operators Well Programme and Rig Specific Work Methods).

Move the guide base(s) to the moonpool area. The guide base to be used will be specified in Operators Well Programme. Install slope indicator to suit location of rig sub sea TV camera system, paint guide posts with hoops and check bolts and nuts on guide base(s) are tight and locked. Check dimensions between the guide posts to ensure that the guide is not bent (3.65 m) diagonal distance between post tops. Carry out between wells inspection for sub sea and BOP equipment. Check all equipment required for 36" hole section (where available on rig). Pressure test standpipe and mud pump manifold valves as per Company testing procedures and rig specific testing programmes contained in the Rig Specific Work Methods. Check mud pump fluid ends as required, dress pumps with pistons and liners required by Well Programme. Reset and test high pressure relief valves for the liner safe working pressures as specified in Manufacturers Manual. Check cementing equipment: Standpipe, valves, chicksans and cementing hoses. Flush and pressure test as required.

10. Have Electrician check out sub sea TV system and if system is to be used to monitor spud-in with no TGB, then check that clump weights are available to run two guidelines. 11. The Electrician should ensure that Beacon has been recharged as long as possible, minimum 24 hrs. 12. Check guide frame/bit guide. 5.1.2 5.1.2.1 Use Of TGB When A TGB Is Used A TGB is not normally run on the majority of the wells drilled. The use of a TGB may be considered in the following cases: 1. 2. 3. High currents at the location (in excess of 2.5 knots). Well to be precisely positioned alongside another well. Water depths greater than 650 ft.
The use of a TGB will be specified in the Well Programme.

5.1.2.2 Considerations And Preparation Of TGB
: : : :
4 of 54 2 12.03.99 DOP 203
There are several points to consider when preparing the TGB for running: 1. The sea bed must be firm enough to support the base whilst drilling the 36" hole. It must also be flat enough to avoid excessive tilting of the base. It may be necessary to inspect the seabed, carry out penetration tests and any remedial procedures. These will be specified in the Well Programme. The base will require the addition of weighting material. This may be either in bulk form from a loading line or in sacks. If in sack form, punch holes in the sacks after loading them into the base. This will make it easier to clean out if the base is retrieved at the end of the well. Place the TGB on the trolley. Install and secure the transponder in the holder. Install a thin wire sling to the transponder for recovery by the ROV. Install and check slope indicator reading before running the TGB (on floating installations confirm with Control Room Operator that rig is level whilst doing this). Make up and install the guide wires and SSTV guide lines. Use brass shear pins for SSTV guide lines - 45 kN (10,000 lbs) strength. Check that all equipment and materials according to check list are onboard.

Running TGB 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Make up TGB running tool and paint Engage/Disengage positions. Attach the TGB-running tool to the Guide Base. Pick-up the TGB and withdraw the trolley. Orientate and run the TGB to the seabed with DDM locked, keeping the base square to the rig, checking that the guide wires reel off steadily. Land the TGB and check the slope indicator with the ROV/SSTV. Check positioning of beacons on the acoustic position control system. If inclination is acceptable, release the TGB running tool. (Check the slope indicator after the TGB is landed before and after releasing running tool which is commonly a J-Tool engaging in slots in the TGB.) Measure setting string "out of the hole" when setting the Temporary Guide Base. Record the RT-seabed depth, and tide when TGB is set (check rig draft). Permanently mark four Guide Lines as a tide reference at the time the TGB is set on the seabed. After the TGB is set and the setting tool retrieved, record the following:

5.2.1
36" Hole Section

Introduction Specific requirements will be issued in the Operators Well Programme. The following procedures are to assist in developing Rrig Specific Wwork Mmethods that might be required.
5.2.2
36 Hole Preparations 1. 2. 3. Check equipment checklist in Ref. Section 5.2.6.1. Prepare BHA required as per Well Programme (Ref. Section 5.1). In conjunction with Client measure 30" conductor pipe to determine correct footage of 36" hole to be drilled. Inspect all joints, shoe joint, for debris and visually check connectors for damage (ensure O-rings are fitted). The standard practice is to drill so that the PGB is located 5 - 6 ft above the seabed. Inspect and service 30" running tool/installation tools. Make up 30" running tool to stand of HWDP/5" S-135 and rack this in the derrick. Make up cementing/circulating head to joint of HWDP/5" S-135 and lay out for later use. Check all handling equipment for 30" casing (Ref. Section 5.2.6 .2). If casing is to be run using pad eyes then check slings and shackles of an adequate load rating are available and that there is sufficient oxygen and acetylene equipment ready for the job. If casing is to be run using elevators, then cut any pad eyes fitted off and check that elevators will fit. Using white paint, paint the float shoe, 30" conductor housing with single stripes 2 foot apart for 10 ft below the housing. Install posts and slope indicator on PGB, move same to moonpool area ready for moving to well centre. Using white paint, paint the bit and bottom 8 - 10 ft of the BHA for better visibility sub sea.
4. 5. 6.
7. 8. 9.
10. Ensure that sufficient volume of spud mud is prepared to meet the requirements of the Well Programme. 11. Check with Cement Hand that his materials and equipment are prepared. 12. Point 1 - 8 below may be done before spudding the hole: 1) Move the PGB to the trolley and move the trolley to centre of moonpool.

2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 5.2.3 Run 30" casing through the PGB.
: : : :
6 of 54 2 12.03.99 DOP 203
With housing at rotary Run 5" drillpipe stringer inside the 30" casing. Make up a running tool to the housing and land the housing in PGB. Install lock down rings on the PGB and ensure that all bolts are tight. Check the alignment between the 30" housing and the bullseye(s) are installed on the PGB. Install beacon holders. Secure in cellar deck clear of well centre. Keep casing filled up to water line when hung off in moonpool.
General Procedures Hold Shallow Gas Drill. Advise the standby vessel that 36" hole is being drilled and to stand off safe distance. If TGB has been run, permanently mark the guidelines at moonpool level to monitor same whilst drilling 36" hole. Have a watchman in the moonpool area at all times whilst drilling in case guidelines become tangled and for the possibility of shallow gas. NOTE: It may be desirable to spud the well in at first light due to the possibility of encountering shallow gas. 1. 2. 3. The 36" hole will be drilled with 36" fixed-arm hole opener and a 26" pilot bit. Always spud with 5" HWDP on top of BHA. Run 36" drilling assembly and tag seabed. Observe tagging with ROV or sub sea camera.
NOTE: Depth from rotary table to mudline and tide correction at the time the seabed was tagged. 4. Ensure that there is enough pipe left on the stand before drilling to prevent any chances of the bit being pulled out of the seabed at the first connection. Approximately 30 ft should be adequate. The ROV should always be kept on the seabed to monitor the spudding and as a reference to where the hole is. To spud well the maximum WOB should be 22 kN (5,000 lbs), 600 gpm pump rate and bring in the top drive speed to between 20 - 30 rpm when the bit (and hole opener) has cleared the sea floor (Ref. Section 5.3.1 and 5.3.2 in DOP 202).
5. 6.

7.
: : : :

Gradually increase the WOB to optimum, 60 - 75 rpm for bit/hole opener and the pump output limited to 600 gpm for the first 30 - 40 ft to avoid washing the hole. Continue to increase the pump rate to 1200 gpm approximately as the hole gets deeper. Drill 36" hole from seabed to casing point, taking returns to the seabed. Use sea water and sweep hole with 20 - 25 bbl hi-vis pills (minimum 100 120 s/l marsh funnel) before connections. If hole cleaning is a problem, increase frequency and/or volume of the sweeps.
8.
NOTE: Release the torque in the string slowly using the DDM prior to making connections. Fast torque release could result in the string backing off. NOTE: These parameters are designed to maintain hole angle at less than 1 throughout the Section. 9. Take directional surveys as required by Well Programme (Ref. Section 5.3.3 in DOP 202).
If a TGB is run, drill approximately 2 m rathole. If TGB is not run, extreme care must be exercised in order to drill the hole to the exact depth. Check the tide tables and with Control Room for the rig draft. The depth should be such that when the casing is landed the top of the housing will extend 1.5 m (5 ft) above sea bed. At casing point, spot viscous mud in the hole. Make a wiper trip to 30 - 40 ft below the sea bed and rest hole for approximately 1hr. If drag is experienced on the trip out of the hole, make a second wiper trip and again displace the hole with high viscous mud. Repeat this process until drag, bridges and excessive fill are eliminated. Before POOH to run casing, the complete hole volume should be filled with Hi-Vis mud. Strap pipe when POOH and stand back BHA and do not break off the bit. If a TGB is run, great care must be exercised when POOH through the TGB. Have the compensator in an open position. Monitor the TGB with the subsea camera and/or ROV.

5.2.4 Running 30" Casing 1. 2. 3. 4.
: : : :
8 of 54 2 12.03.99 DOP 203
Move PGB to well centre and attach/install guidelines. Check and note slope indicator reading (confirm with CRO that rig is level when doing this). Rig up as required to run 30" casing. Handle casing into the rig floor as per picking up drill collars (Ref. Section 5.1.1 in DOP 202). Run 30" casing as per Well Programme up to and including conductor housing joint. Run drillpipe stinger into casing using keyhole plate and 2 sets drillpipe elevators OR false rotary. Space out stinger to be approximately 40 ft from 30" shoe once running tool is made up. Fit centraliser if required. Make up 30" running tool to stinger and 30" Housing. Lower through rotary table and latch same to PGB. Pick up and check proper engagement. Open purge valve(s) on running tool. Set guideline tensions as required to support minimum tension (estimated wire weight only). Run 30" housing to sea level, make up DDM/Topdrive to string and fill casing with sea water down running string and purge air from casing. Close purge valve(s). Continue running casing on 5" HWDP/S-135 drillpipe (take care not to turn string whilst making up connections). Fill pipe as it is run. Use ROV or subsea TV to assist stab-in to 36" hole. If it is necessary to move the installation or work the pipe to stab-in, mark the pipe to observe any twisting/turning effects. Prior to landing casing on bottom, make up joint with cementing head. Land casing on bottom and adjust DSC to support landing string weight plus 10%. Check measurements on casing and stick up above seabed (top of PGB approximately 1.5 m above seabed). Check guidelines for twisting/snagging. If possible, have ROV (if available) check orientation of PGB to ensure that it has not turned. Check PGB inclination. If this is greater than 1 it will be necessary to contact the Rig Manager.

NOTE: From the time when the 36" hole is completed until the 30" casing is landed, no off load or back loading operations should take place and the draft should not be changed.

5.2.5 Cementing 30" Casing 1. 2.
: : : :
9 of 54 2 12.03.99 DOP 203
Cement casing as per Ref. Well Programme and Section 5.5.3 in DOP 202. Lower the SSTV and check the Housing. Leave SSTV on bottom to observe returns while cementing and check for possible leaks on the housing running tool. The ROV may be used to monitor during the operation and in addition should collect cement samples. Make up cementing line to landing joint. Break circulation slowly with rig pump using sea water. Observe 30" x 36" annulus with ROV or subsea camera to ensure that returns to seabed are achieved. Limit pump rate so that 30" x 36" annular velocity is equivalent to annular velocity used while drilling lower section of 36" hole. It is recommended to pump a volume of sea water equivalent to 1.5 times the combined capacity of the running string, cementing stinger and casing capacity between end of stinger and 30" shoe. Close valve on cement head and pressure test lines as required by Well Programme (normally to around 3000 psi). If PGB inclination is less than 1 then proceed with cementing operations. Lift the casing 0.5 m off bottom to mix and displace the cement. Use the DSC to hold the casing weight during cementing. After the cement has been displaced, the casing is lowered, leaving the wellhead 1.5 m above sea floor. If unable to lower the casing, the wellhead height above sea floor will be max 2 m. Use the DSC to hold the weight of the casing until the cement has set up. Mix and pump cement as per Well Programme, monitor returns at the mudline throughout the job. Monitor the casing for settling while cementing. Displace cement with sea water using cement unit. Watch out for the casing floating while cement is being displaced. Take cement samples with ROV if required.

10. Once cement in place, bleed off surface pressure on cement line and check float is holding. If holding, set guidelines to working tension and release running tool. If float is not holding, then pump volume bled back and hold shut-in pressure until cement takes initial set. Once cement takes initial set, release surface pressure and release running tool. Pull back and position end of cementing stinger 3 m - 5 m inside top of wellhead and flush wellhead area with sea water at maximum rate. POOH and lay out 30" running tool.

5.4.1
26" Hole Section

Introduction Specific requirements will be issued in the Operators Well Programme. The following procedures are to assist in developing installation specific procedures that might be required.
5.4.2
Operational Limitations 1. 2. Drilling of the 26" hole can start and continue unless only when weather conditions exceed the limits that are considered safe. A maximum of 4 angular deflection full amplitude is allowed while drilling through the flex joint. This corresponds to an offset of 6.9% of the water depth. In extreme cases, drillpipe may be tripped with a flex joint angle up to 6.
3.
Consideration should be given to drilling an 8" or 12" pilot hole. 5.4.3 1. 2. 3. 4. Preparations Check equipment as per checklists. Drilling Tools (Ref. Section 5.5.2.1 and Casing, Casing List Equipment, Ref. Section 5.5.2.2). Prepare BHA required as per Well Programme, also Ref. Section 5.1 in DOP 202. (The BHA should be fitted with a non ported float valve.) Prepare Casing required as per Well Programme, also Ref. Section 5.5 in DOP 202. Measure, tally and number the casing as it is brought onboard the rig and in conjunction with client measure 20" casing to determine footage of 26" hole to be drilled, allowing for rathole required below 20" casing shoe (usually around 5 m). Inspect and service 20" running tool/installation tools. Make up drillpipe joint/pup joint to the bottom of this. Length of drillpipe required to extend +/- 1.5 m below the bottom of the wellhead housing, once running tool is made up, or space out to suit sub sea launch plug.

Make this assembly up to the wellhead housing. Check tool release and then set to running position. Mark tool and housing to observe any inadvertent back-off. Lay out the housing and running tool assembly. Take care to support the weight of the housing to prevent any bending of the running tool taking place.
or The housing joint with running tool and sub sea cement plug could be stood back in derrick prior to the 26" wiper trip before the casing job if required. 7. 8. 9. Make up cement head with dart/circulating head to stand of 5" HWDP and rack back for later use. Drift landing strings. Check the weight of the casing versus the capacity of the hoisting equipment. Always have a 250T 20" casing elevator available.
10. Paint 20" casing shoe and 18" wellhead housing with white paint to improve visibility subsea. Highlight connector overlap indicator. 11. Make up guidance ropes for 20" casing if required. It is recommended to design and fit a sleeve to allow for any inadvertent rotation of the casing during running (especially in deep water). This will prevent ropes being snapped before the casing is stabbed into the well. 12. Mix initial volume of mud as required by Well Programme. 13. Ensure that sufficient mud materials are available to drill the 26" hole. 14. Check with Cement Hand that his materials and equipment are prepared.

5.4.4 Open Water Drilling
: : : :
15 of 54 2 12.03.99 DOP 203
This is the preferred method for drilling the 26" hole section as it greatly enhances installation safety. In the event of a shallow gas risk, consideration should be given to drilling a pilot hole (Ref. Section 5.7 in DOP 204). 5.4.4.1 General Procedures Continue with shallow gas precautions as for 36" hole. Advise the standby vessel that 26" hole is being drilled and to stand off a safe distance. Run 26" drilling assembly to 30" wellhead. Observe stabbing of bit into wellhead with subsea TV or ROV (if fitted). Use guide ropes/bit guide as required to facilitate stab-in. RIH to 15 - 20 ft above predicted top of cement in the 30" casing. (Check surface cement samples for firmness. If cement is still soft then it may be necessary to wait on cement.) Break circulation, tag cement and check for firmness. Report depth of top of cement. Drill out cement and float shoe. Guideline parameters are: 10000 lbs. W.OB, 40 - 50 rpm rotary speed , torque limit set to minimum required, and 1100 1200 gpm flow rate using sea water with viscous sweeps as required to clean the hole (15 - 20 bbl sweeps prior to connections should be sufficient). If hole cleaning becomes a problem, then increase volume and/or frequency of sweeps. Drill to 20" casing point plus rat hole required. Once any stabilisers in the string are past the shoe and in new hole then rotary speed may be increased. Take directional surveys as required by Well Programme (Ref. Section 5.3.3 in DOP 202). At casing point, displace hole with Hi-Vis mud, then make wiper trip to 30" casing shoe. If excessive hole bridging or fill is seen then repeat wiper trips until hole condition is good. Displace well to viscous mud and POOH to run 20" casing. If necessary to keep hole open, displace with weighted viscous mud. Wash 30" housing on trip out with sea water. Strap pipe on final POOH. NOTE: Flow check and observe the well for flow at each connection and when drilling sections to TD and at any other time you deem necessary by use of ROV or SSTV camera. 5.4.4.2 Shallow Gas - Riserless Ref.

When drilling riserless, the main consideration is to move the rig clear of the well in the event of shallow gas. Points to consider in preparing rig specific contingency plans are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Position windsocks/flags so that they can be sighted from all angles of the installation. Position standby boat upwind and maintain regular contact with updates on activities in progress. Set up power distribution to switch power to anchor winches quickly. Set up plan for personnel to go to winches (24 hour cover of these posts will be required). Ensure that adequate training is given and tested by drills. Have subsea TV on guidelines ready to run at all times. If ROV fitted then have this on standby ready to observe the well. Observe the wellhead during tripping operations. Consider pumping out of the hole to maintain an adequate hydrostatic overbalance. Pump at all times when moving string upwards. Personnel to pay out guidelines will be required. training is given and tested by drills. Ensure that adequate
6. 7.
Prepare and rig up equipment and procedures to release and drop drill string to enable rig to be winched clear. These will be required for the following cases: 1) 2) Bit on bottom and drilling. Tripping.
Ensure that drill floor personnel are given adequate training and tested by drills. 8. Maintain good communications between on duty Barge Master, Toolpusher, Driller, Designated Winch Operators, Crane Operator and Deck Crew at all times.
5.4.5 5.4.5.1
Drilling with Riser Installed Introduction It may be decided to drill out below 30" casing with riser installed. Common reasons for this are: 1. To minimise build up of drilled cuttings on subsea templates. Cuttings are dispersed further from surface by wave action.
2. To enable mud-logging and any open hole electric logs to be run.

3. If hole stability will require mud to be used. 5.4.6 Procedure 1. 2.

Recommended BHA according to the drilling program. A drillpipe float shall be used (preferably non-ported). Weight on bit - pilot hole. A maximum of 45 kN (10,000 lbs) should be used when drilling out the cement in the 30" casing. This weight should be used until the upper stabiliser is below the casing shoe. The weight on bit should then gradually be increased to optimum weight. Rotary/DDM speed - pilot hole. To be as outlined in the drilling program. A maximum speed of 200 rpm shall be used to avoid drilling in the critical rotary speed ranges. Pump speed - pilot hole. A minimum circulation rate should be used when drilling 17" pilot hole. Use the booster line to clean the riser if fitted. Mud properties. Marsh Funnel viscosity should be in the 60/100 s/l range. All available solids removal equipment should be in operation. The mud weight in should not be allowed to exceed 9 ppg. At casing depth the Marsh Funnel viscosity should be raised to a uniform 100 s/l and the yield point to minimum prior to pulling out of the hole for the wiper trip. Further details in the drilling program. Wiper trips. After the viscous mud has been spotted, a wiper trip to the 30" casing shoe will be made. If any drag or bridges are encountered, the hole should be circulated again with the viscous mud and a second wiper trip made. Controlling mud weight to 9 ppg or less is very important. Continue wiper trips and viscosity changes until the wiper trip can be made without problems. Deviation control. Run directional surveys (magnetic single shots) at the end of each bit run and at casing depth. Run a multi-shot at casing depth. Flow checking - 17" hole. Having drilled the pilot hole to casing depth, and after a satisfactory wiper trip has been completed, observe the well for flow. If the hole is stable, displace the riser with sea water through booster line with bit at bottom and observe the well for 15 mins. Open riser dump valve, lowering the water level in the riser to sea level. Observe the well with the SSTV for 30 mins. to ensure the well is stable. Close dump valve. Circulate bottoms up while monitoring for gas.

Rotary/DDM speed - 26" hole. Under-reaming operations should commence with a rotor speed of 50 rpm and should be increased to a maximum of 100 rpm. Pump speed - 26" hole. A circulation rate of 270 m 3/hr (29 bbl/min) will be required when under-reaming with the 26" assembly. Check maximum recommended pressure drop for the under-reamer in use. Flow checking - 26" hole. After the 17" pilot hole is opened to 26" displace the high viscosity mud in the hold with a density equivalent to what was used when drilling/under-reaming. With the bit on bottom displace the mud in the riser with sea water using the booster line and observe the well for 15 mins. Open dump valve and observe the well for 15 mins with SSTV. Should there be any question about the stability of the well, increase the mud weight. Pull out of the hole slowly leaving the dump valve open and observe the well. Watch carefully when pulling UR through hydraulic connector to ensure that UR arms are closed. Have DSC in the open position. Pull the diverter and marine riser. Observe wellhead with SSTV when disconnecting riser. Make wiper trip with the 26" bit. Displace the hole with high visc. mud prior to POOH. Volume used to be 100% in excess of hole volume.

Shallow Gas - Riser Installed (Ref. Section 5.7 of DOP 204, Well Control Manual WCO 200 and Rig Emergency Preparedness Manual REM 300.) Considering the following additional points will assist in preparing rig specific contingency plans: 1. Evaluate condition of diverter equipment and overboard lines - how long will they stand up to the battering they will take during a shallow gas blowout? Are there many bends and areas where excessive erosion will occur? It may be prudent to develop procedures to drop the drill string, unlatch the riser and pull the rig off the well. Maintain all spare mud pits full of sea water. In the event of shallow gas, it is important to pump mud/sea water as fast as possible. Ensure that Derrickmen are trained to line up rig pumps to sea water as quickly as possible on hearing the general alarm. Sufficient pump rate required to maintain gas wet. Maximum rate will increase erosion rate of diverter. Open riser dump valves if fitted to maintain gas wet.

25 of 54 2 12.03.99 DOP 203
3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1Run 17" (or 16") BHA to approximately 20 ft above predicted top of cement inside 20" casing. Break circulation with sea water, tag cement and check for firmness. Report depth to top of cement. 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1Drill out cement and 20" float equipment. Guideline parameters are: 10000 lbs max WOB, 40 - 50 rpm, torque limit set to minimum required, and 1100 - 1200 gpm flow-rate using sea water. 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1After drilling out cement and cleaning to bottom of rat hole, drill 3 m (10 ft) of new formation. Circulate and condition mud and perform leak-off test. Take care to avoid cement contamination of same. 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1Drill to 13 3/8" casing point plus rat hole required. Once stabilisers are into new hole then rotary speed may be increased. Adjust WOB and rpm to achieve best rate of penetration. NOTE: DDM speed. To be specified in the drilling program. A maximum speed of 200 rpm shall be used to avoid drilling in the critical rotary speed ranges. The proper use of the rotary brake, maintaining constant bit weight and rotary speed are important factors in the prevention of twist offs and back offs when drilling with heavy BHA. Proper make up of drillpipe and drill collar connections are another essential consideration in the prevention of drill string failures. 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1Pressure tests of the BOP should be conducted after installation, after setting casing, and before drilling into any known or suspected high pressure zones. Otherwise, these tests should be conducted at regular intervals but not more than once every week. On installation each component should be individually tested to a low pressure (around 200 psi) and to the greater of 70% of rated working pressure or the maximum pressure expected in the upper part of the casing. An exception is the annular preventer which may be tested to 50% of its rated working pressure to minimise pack off element wear or damage. 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1Take directional surveys as required by Well Programme (Ref. Section 5.3.3 in DOP 202). 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1The mud properties and control will be dictated by the Well Programme - General Ref. Section DOP 205 Drilling Fluids.6. 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1At section TD circ until shakers are clean, then POOH to run logs. Should any drag, bridges or fill be encountered make a wiper trip to bottom. Once hole conditions are good, POOH to run open hole electric logs. Recommended treatment to the mud must be based upon whether the problem is of rheological, chemical or pressure character. 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1Rig up and run open hole logs as per Well Programme. Rig down loggers (Ref. Section 5.4 in DOP 202). If the logs are not going to bottom due to the same problems in (8), further treatment shall be done during the wiper trip to follow. 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1

3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1Run 12" BHA to approximately 20 ft above predicted top of cement. Break circulation and tag top of cement. Report depth to top of cement. 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1Drill out cement, plug(s), float collar, shoe track and float shoe. Restrict rpm, and keep torque limit set to minimum required whilst drilling inside the casing. The WOB should be restricted to a maximum of 10000 lbs until outside the shoe then increased to the optimum weight. 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1Clean out rathole below 13 3/8" casing shoe. Take SCP (Ref. Well Control Manual WCO 200). Drill 1.5 - 3 m of new formation circulate hole clean and condition mud, pull back inside casing shoe. 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1Carry out formation pressure test (leak-off or integrity test) as required by Well Programme (Ref. WCO 200 Section 4.10). 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1Drill 12" hole as required by Well Programme. Once all stabilisers are in new hole then rpm may be increased. Adjust WOB and rotary speed to achieve best rate of penetration. 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1Take directional surveys as required by Well Programme (Ref. Section 5.3.3 in DOP 202). 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1Inspect wear bushing and test BOPs at intervals specified in Well Programme and the Company Well Control Equipment Procedures. 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1Pressure tests of the BOP should be conducted after installation, after setting casing, and before drilling into any known or suspected high pressure zones. Otherwise, these tests should be conducted at regular intervals but not more than once every week. On installation each component should be individually tested to a low pressure (around 200 psi) and to the greater of 70% of rated working pressure or the maximum pressure expected in the upper part of the casing. An exception is the annular preventer which may be tested to 50% of its rated working pressure to minimise pack off element wear or damage. 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1At 95/8" casing point, circ. until shakers are clean, then POOH to run logs. Should any drag, bridges or fill be encountered make a wiper trip to bottom. Once hole conditions are good, POOH to run open hole electric logs. Recommended treatment to the mud must be based upon whether the problem is of rheological, chemical or pressure character. 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1Rig up and run open hole logs as per Well Programme. Rig down loggers (Ref. Section 5.4 in DOP 202, Ref. Section 4). If the logs are not going to bottom due to the same problems in (9), further treatment shall be done during the wiper trip to follow. 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1After logging the well, it is recommended to make a wiper trip prior to running casing. Measure pipe length when POOH after final wiper trip, if not already done on trip out before logging. If required wash wellhead with bit, while POOH to retrieve wear bushing. 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1

Specific requirements will be issued in the Operators Well Programme. The following procedures are to assist in developing installation specific procedures that might be required. 5.10.2 Preparation 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1Test BOPs (Ref. Rig Specific Work Methods and Well Programme). 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1Install appropriate wear bushing (95/8" or 7"). 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1Check emergency drill string hang-off tool assembly space out is correct, adjust if necessary. 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1Test choke and kill manifold valves, standpipe manifold valves, inside BOP valves etc. (Ref. Rig Specific Work Methods and Well Programme). 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1Check that drillfloor equipment for kick-control is available. inside BOP, spare Kelly valve, BOP kick joint and inside BOP dart to be ready for use. 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1Deviation survey 95/8" and 7" liner as required by Well Programme. 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1Pressure test casing as required by Well Programme. 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1Check equipment as per checklist in Section 5.7.5.. 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1Prepare 4" liner (Ref.

Well Programme and Section 5.1 in DOP 202). 5.10.3 General Procedures These will be similar to those proposed for drilling 8" hole. Additional items to consider for drilling with slim and tapered drill strings are: 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1Low Circulation Rates - it may be necessary to flush riser via booster lines or kill lines to ensure adequate hole cleaning. 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1It may be necessary to ensure pipe is full and break circulation during trips in hole. Swab and surge effects may be greater with smaller diameter hole (especially when 7" casing hung-off in wellhead). 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 3.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1Ensure that 4" drill collars and 3" drillpipe are drifted and if necessary flushed through with water. These tubulars do not receive as much use in comparison to larger sizes. They consequently spend longer in storage with the possibility of build up of rust and scales. It is worthwhile breaking circulation and pumping the internal volume of the 4" DCs and 3" DP before continuing RIH with 5" drillpipe.
