CORMORANT ALPHA DRILLING OPERATIONS GUIDE
4.1 PREPARATION
1) Hold a toolbox talk and complete the TRIC card, ensure that all
crewmembers are aware of the risks and the controls put in place
to mitigate them, also that they are familiar with the lifting plan.
4) Check the slips and elevators are of the correct type and size and
are in good condition.
6) Give accurate details of the job, lifting plan and associated risks
to the crew.
4.2 PERFORMING
2) Ensure all measurements have been taken, that the shoulders have
not been damaged and the correct dope applied.
3) Open the vernier. Lower the blocks slowly until the pin end of
the drill collar is guided into the box end of the stabiliser. Do not
set any weight down as yet.

5) To aid the make up of the last thread lower the blocks until
approximately 50% of the collar weight is resting on the stabiliser.
Now raise the block 3 - 6" and allow the men to snub up the joint
with chain tongs (this may have to be repeated until the shoulders
meet).
6) Raise the blocks until the pin end is over the box end of the drill
collar. (Ensure the table pin has not been lifted by the stabiliser.)
7) Lower the blocks until the stabiliser pin enters the box of the drill
collar and set down with no more than 1,000 lbs.
9) Supervise the torque application to the lower joint with either the
rig tongs or iron roughneck.
10) Raise the blocks and lift the string enough to allow the slips to be
un-set but still held round the collar.
11) Lower the blocks until the slips are set just under the stabiliser
blade.
14) Supervise the removal of a table bushing (if required to allow the
stabiliser to pass). Remember: Check the lifting equipment prior
to use. Ensure crewmembers are aware of the path of the
bushings when pulled. (Refer to DOG section 1.25)

13) The Derrickman is the responsible person for all work activities
in the derrick.
4.1 PREPARATION
3) Don the harness and ensure a snug fit prior to accessing the
board.
8) Lay out the "side rope" from the appropriate side. Allow enough
to wrap around the collar twice with a three to four foot overlap.
(Measurements are based on the collar hanging vertically from the
blocks.)

The side from which the rope is deployed is normally the side
opposite the direction of lean that the collar will take when
initially stood back.
If the height of the collar when stood back places the elevators
out of reach, a rope can be tied to the latch handle and used to
unlatch the elevators. This is normally installed when the
elevators are level with the board.
4.2 PERFORMANCE
1) Instruct the Driller to stop the elevators just above board level.
4) Loop the tugger line round the collar, hook it back onto itself and
take up the slack.
(Care must be taken when the collar is being turned that the line
does not catch).
6) As the collar is lowered lift the tugger line and the rope upwards.
Take the strain with the tugger and pull the collar over to the
edge of the board.
(This aids the movement at the bottom.)
9) When in the finger, secure the collar and remove the rope and
tugger.

7) Have the correct pick up nubbins and protectors ready for use.
4.2 PERFORMANCE
1) Screw the lift cap into the stabiliser and tighten with a bar.
5) Insert the table pin up into the stabiliser and hold it there.
7) Lower the pin into the hole and then lower the stabiliser until it
rests on the table.
8) Unscrew the lift cap and check the shoulder for damage.
(This is a final check, the main inspection having been made prior
to pick up.)
10) Install a chain tong to turn the stabiliser clockwise with reference
to the suspended collar.

13) Snub up the joint with two chain tongs and remove.
The driller will now raise the blocks.
15) Guide the stabiliser over the collar in the slips and stab it.
16) Install a set of chain tongs and screw the stabiliser into the collar.
(Ensure the stabiliser top joint does not back out.)
(Leave the immediate area when the high torque is being applied.)
20) As the driller raises the blocks unseat the slips but do not pull
them.
21) Suspend the slips in the bowl as the string is lowered then set
them under the stabiliser blade.
22) Install the rig tongs and make up the top stabiliser joint.
25) If required pull the table bushings to allow the stabiliser to pass
through. (Refer to DOG section 1.25)

2) Routine lifting plans can be done using the TRIC card, however
more complex lifts, for example two cranes lifting the same load
would require a separate lifting plan.
4) Use tag lines in windy conditions and when the load is to be moved
out of the immediate vicinity.
6) Establish crane signals between the banksman and the crane driver.

9) Always stand to the 'side' of tubulars when they are being lifted.
11) Ensure the slings are correctly colour coded, certified and in
good condition.
13) Know the rig specific rules on restriction of crane use due to weather
conditions.
14) Ensure that any lifting accessories used for securing the load are
compatible with the load taking into account any attachment
points on the load, the environmental conditions in which the
accessories will be used and their configuration of use.
15) Ensure that appropriate measures are taken to prevent the load, or
part of the load disintegrating while being lifted.
4. PROCEDURE
As the handling of tubulars and drilling tools with the crane incorporates
essentially the same techniques, the transfer of MWD tools from a transit
basket on the pipe deck to catwalk, then on to the drill floor will be used
as an example.

4.1 PREPARATION
1) Hold a toolbox talk with all concerned including the crane driver
and utilise the TRIC card as a risk assessment. A separate lifting
plan will have to be made out when two means of lifting is used
for the same load, ensure that everyone is aware of the risks and
the controls put in place to mitigate them, also make sure that
everybody is familiar with the lifting plan.
4) Remove the sea fasting form around the MWD tools, and ensure
the tool is free to lift out of the transit basket.
4.2 PERFORMING
2) Double rap and choke the tool with two slings each positioned
approximately five foot from each end. (Care must be taken to
ensure the choking effect comes from the same direction and that
the slings are not crossed). Remember that each sling should
have an SWL approximately equal to the gross weight of the
load.
4) Step to the side and signal the crane to pick up slowly. (This is
done by the designated banksman using either a radio or hand
signals)

5) Observe the sling tightening on it. Ensure the sling does not slip
towards the centre of the pipe.
6) Stop the crane lifting just prior to picking up the tool, and attach
a tag line at one end of the load. (use a slip knot)
7) Stand clear and signal the crane to raise the tool, ensure the load
does not get entangled with the transit basket, raise high enough
to clear samson posts or any other obstacles.
8) Bank the crane until the load is located vertically over the
catwalk.
10) Signal the crane to lower and land the tool on the catwalk, ensure
the box end of the tool faces the V-door.
11) Remove the sling eye from one of the brother’s hooks (the one
supporting the box end of the tool.)
12) Bank the crane so that the jib is directly above the pin end of the
tool.
13) Attach a lifting cap to the box end of the MWD tool and then
connect that to the rig floor winch. (Under certain conditions it
may be advisable to connect the catwalk tugger to the back of the
MWD tool so as to steady it and if necessary hold it back.)
14) Pick up on the drill floor tugger and instruct the crane to lift at
the same time, slowly transfer the tool from the catwalk to the drill
floor. This part of the operation requires a separate lifting plan
and close supervision.
15) The floorman on the tugger will lower the tool on to a prepared
wooden batten, meanwhile the crane holds the tool steady in a
horizontal position.
16) The sling and the lifting cap are removed, the sling is then double
rapped round the MWD tool about 4 feet from the box end and re-
attached to the tugger.
18) Move the MWD tool forward, which is suspended by the crane at
the pin end and the rig floor tugger at the box end, until the lifting
sub is immediately below the elevators.

19) The Driller will lower the travelling block until the elevators can
be latched on to the MWD tool.
20) The Driller will slowly pick up on the travelling bock, meanwhile
the banksman will signal the crane so as to tail the tool in until
the pin end reaches the top of the v-door.
21) The banksman will signal the crane to lower the tool, so that the
crane can be released from the load.
22) The Driller then picks up slowly with the MWD tools progress
being controlled by the v-door rope.
1) Once the MWD tool has been safely laid out on the catwalk,
remove the box end protector.
2) Clean and inspect the threads then apply a light coating of dope.
3) Make up the lifting sub using a chain tong, ensure the sub is faced
up to the MWD tool and is as tight as possible without resorting
to the use of extensions to the chain tong. Mark the made up joints
with a paint stick in case the joint begins to back out.
5) Pick up on the drill floor tugger and instruct the crane to lift at
the same time, slowly transfer the tool from the catwalk to the drill
floor. This part of the operation requires a separate lifting plan
and close supervision.
7) The Driller will lower the travelling block until the elevators can
be latched on to the MWD tool.
