1.0 INTRODUCTION
The objective of this specific document is to provide a program and detailed procedures for drilling NP_GX34_MI
well in accordance with the ROO and Halliburton policies, procedures and best practices. This document contains
the necessary operational steps and reference technical information specific to the well.
NP_GX34_MI well is a Mishrif Producer situated in North Rumaila field. The well is to be drilled as S-Shape Well
(Type 3) with planned TD of -2,352.90m TVDSS, 2,447.54mMD BRT and 2,371.20mTVD BRT.
2.0 MANAGEMENT OF CHANGE POLICY
At times, it is necessary to make changes to approved program; however failure to follow the program might
also have adverse results. The following describes the process of amending the final program so that the work is
always conducted in an approved manner.
Program Generation and Maintenance
1. Drilling Engineer is responsible for preparing this program which is issued for every well drilled.
2. The author has had sufficient time to thoroughly research and complete a good program without
time pressure.
3. The programs have been reviewed in a controlled environment, typically by risk assessment by
peers, including field supervisors.
4. The rotation system may not allow everyone to review the program before publishing, and the
person who supervises the work may or may not have reviewed the program before it is published
and the work starts.
5. The program has been reviewed by the ROO.
6. Programs occasionally are published with errors or potential improvements where changes could be
made. For this reason, Program amendments shall be issued under the MOC procedure.
7. Programs shall be followed unless an amendment is approved.
8. Programs shall be distributed as per approved distribution list.
9. The approved drilling program is a controlled document.
10. Any team member who sees a potential problem or improvement can and should suggest an
amendment.
11. Request for an amendment normally comes directly from the DSV to the Drilling Superintendent,
preferably after being discussed at the rig site. Program amendments shall be issued under the MOC
procedure.
12. All significant changes to the program will come via written approval from the Drilling
Superintendent. These program changes must be documented, risk assessed and then sent through
the program approval process. The following must be considered:
a. What can go wrong with or without the changes?
b. What contingency materials and personnel must be considered?
c. What implications on material stock does this have for upcoming wells?
d. What financial benefits are there with or without the change?

3.0 HSE
The HSE objectives of this well are as follows:

1. Zero injuries, and
2. Zero environmental impact.
To help achieve these objectives the following must be adhered to:
1. Personal protective equipment (PPE) must be worn at all times for all personnel on location.
2. The drilling contractor is to make sure a rig move plan is in place prior to any rig move. Make sure all
overhead power lines are identified with a large warning sign.
3. Be aware that fire can start quickly in all atmospheric conditions and precautions should be taken when
handling flammable materials and chemicals.
4. Dangerous chemicals are to be stored in a segregated area with clearly markings.
5. Be certain the correct size slings are used when lifting heavy loads. Watch for wear on slings and cables
and remove from use if excessive wear is evident. Ensure all slings, lifting equipment have up to date
certifications. Always use shackles with safety pins. Lifting gear color code points (certified + Paint).
6. Care should be taken to avoid spills, especially gasoil and crude oil. All spills should be reported and
cleaned up as soon as possible. WDI to build barriers round diesel tanks.
7. Seat belts should be used and speed limits obeyed at all times during personnel transportation.
8. Prior to handling of any explosives on-site, conduct full disclosure tailgate safety meeting complete with
participant signatures informing location personnel of entire perforating process including radio silence,
mobile phones are to be switched off and locked up for the duration and shut-down of electrical
generation except for required power supply. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed in the vicinity
while arming.
9. All incidents, accidents and near misses are to be reported, recorded and investigated.

6.2 Well Objectives

Well NP_GX34_MI is a Mishrif Producer well situated in North Rumaila. The well is one of 9 wells in an inverted
spot pattern that are essential to meet the long term production forecast.
6.2.1 Strategic
Following are the technical objectives for this well;
 To deliver a production well at the edge of the water flood front produced by the offset injectors (when
on production these wells will allow the time to water break through to be determined and the water
cut development profile to be characterized)
 To characterize the fluid saturations, pressure variability and reservoir heterogeneity of the Mishrif
reservoir.
 Within the expected well life the well shall be converted to serve as a water injector in line with the
current Mishrif depletion plan. This conversion will be subject of a separate SOR.
6.2.2 Technical
Following are the technical objectives for this well;
 To deliver a Mishrif production well.

 To obtain open hole logs and cuttings in order to provide information of non-reservoir intervals
penetrated in the well.
 To inform the perforation recommendation.

8.0 ZONAL ISOLATION CRITERIA

During the well construction phase, zonal isolation should be designed to adhere to the following:
 Prevent the development of Sustained Casing Pressure (SCP) during well operation due to the
communication with DPZ.
 Prevent the contamination of any aquifer.
 Prevent communication between any distinct permeable zones.
 It is very important to follow the Zonal and hydraulic Isolation design criteria (cement design) for primary
casing string to meet the well integrity and future abandonment requirements.
The following are ROO zonal isolation minimum standards adopted in this program:
 Minimum of 30 m TVD cement above the top of the DPZ.
 Minimum of 30 m TVD cement between DPZ in same section.
 It is critical to have the appropriate zonal and hydraulic isolation across the reservoir(s).
The Zonal Isolation Criteria to be achieved are set for the following formations considered as DPZ:
1. Dammam.
2. Umm-er-Radhuma/ Tayarat
3. Hartha
4. Mishrif

10.4 BOP Equipment Pressure Test

The following is a list of Halliburton standards and guidelines related to well control policy:
1. “Well Control Barriers “ (ST-GL-HAL-HPM-WC-171E), and
2. “Drilling Guideline: Well Control” (GD-GL-HAL-HPM-WC-171).
All well control equipment shall be tested in accordance with the manufacture’s recommendations as per
procedures. Check and flush poor boy degasser lines including vent lines, at least once a week to make sure both
lines are opened and in good condition for well control situation’s.
Pressure test of BOP shall be performed as follows:
1. The time between tests shall not exceed 21 days;
2. After any repair / replacement of BOP’s stack;
3. Prior to spud;
• BOP will be tested on Stump (with 300 psi low and 5,000 psi high) and when nippling up, running
plug tester and testing connections (with 300 psi low and 2,500 psi high).
Note:
- 4-1/2’’ x 7’’ Rams will be tested against 5” DP
- 2-7/8’’ x 5’’ Rams will be tested against 5” DP
Note: Perform also drawdown test for accumulator unit.
BOP pressure test requires a documented and reported Accumulator drawdown function test of the
BOP. Therefore, Accumulator drawdown function test is required when pressure test BOP.
• Subsequent BOP tests will be against the smallest pipe used during drilling.
• API Std 53 requirements to be use as reference
•
All pressure tests shall be recorded on charts and be witnessed by the DSV. All test charts shall be sent to the
Drilling Superintendent for retention.
All wellhead components and pressure-containing connections associated with the well control equipment shall
be pressure tested in accordance with the requirements of this section upon installation or reinstallation.
The following is the BOP pressure test parameters. Check and use the proper test plug for testing BOP & 10K psi
charts. The recorded charts are to be signed by the TP, DSV, WSL and copies to be sent to the Drilling Engineers.

12.0 PRE-SPUD OPERATIONAL CHECKLIST

12.1 Rig Acceptance Checklist
1. It is mandatory to have a printed copy of the signed drilling program available in the DSV office
(Halliburton office in the rig) for reference from spud to rig release. It is recommended and advised to
insert notes or relevant comments in the program as the well is drilled for future program revisions.
Halliburton DE is responsible to ensure the approved version is printed and delivered to the rig site prior
to spud.
2. Ensure the PTW system is fully understood, implemented and employed.
3. Confirm the centralized alignment of the mast, top drive and rotary table over the cellar. Report the
mast centralization in the DDR.
4. Prior to locating the rig over the cellar, the dimensions of the cellar should be verified as fit for purpose.
The cellar design is: 2.5 meters deep, 3.0 x 3.0 meters wide and with a concrete base 0.3 meters deep.
Additionally a sump, 0.3 meters deep should have been constructed in one corner of the cellar to
facilitate pumping out any fluids that accumulate over time.
5. The cellar should be flat, (properly levelled) and dressed off with a concrete 0.3 meter deep concrete
cap. The 20" conductor should not be cut below the ground level, as it is used to land off the Cameron
MBS wellhead.
6. Raise the derrick and rig up the entire drilling package, accommodation and security in order to comply
with specifications in effect.
7. Perform the following audits prior to spud:
 Security audit conducted by ROO Security and Safety Compliance Officer (RSSCO) and / or ROO
Security Plans Officer (SPO) and approved by ROO SPO.
 No CAT1 security compliance issues remaining.
 Rig contractor’s Dropped Object Awareness and Prevention (DROPS) and mast inspection.
 Rig medical health and hygiene inspection as per ROO approved audit worksheet.
 Camp and catering audit in conjunction with camp-boss, rig manager & DSV.
 Verification of the integrity of the circulating system, TDS and Drawworks function check, and
BOP stump test.
 Rig manager and DSV to complete a thorough pre-spud checklist.
 Ensure all critical corrective actions from previous ROO audits are closed out.
 Verify the type and date of the last drill string inspection and the use history since that date, and
ensure compatibility with rig contractors stated contract obligations. As per contract, Drill Collar,
Heavy Weight DP and Drill Pipe must be inspected every 500 hrs or 6 months whichever comes
first to API RP7G standard. Report in first DDR the date and hours of last string inspection.
8. Ensure all personnel related to drilling operation are fully aware of the offset injection wells – See offset
wells status.
9. Ensure all rig equipment has completed required acceptance testing and verify all the gauges are
working correctly.
10. If the road is too close to the flare line, set up barriers to block the road and immediately inform
Halliburton Drilling Superintendent.
11. Visually inspect all seals and rubbers on the BOP and its elements.
12. Ensure that all ring gaskets are API, are in good condition and have valid certificates. Do not under any
circumstance re-use previously energized gaskets.
Stump test 13 ⅝" BOP (top to bottom): 5K Annular + VBRs (2 7/8” - 5”, tested against 5” DP) & (4 ½” -
7”, tested against 5” DP), and blind/shear rams with outlets for choke and kill lines: low pressure test to
300 psi for 5 minutes; high pressure test to 5,000 psi for 10 minutes. Refer to API RP53, and the ROO
Well Control Practices standard, (ROO-WELLS-GEN-STD-003). The DSV is to witness pressure testing and
44
NP_GX34_MI
verify acceptance of the pressure test data on the pressure charts. Appropriately scaled charts are
required to be used in order to ensure clear identification.
13. Ensure that test response is recorded (e.g. 10 k psi chart for a 5k psi test, and 5K psi chart for a 3K psi
test).
14. Double check that the 13 ⅝” BOP will fit under the sub structure, and that the bell nipple is the correct
length. Do not assume that all the vertical clearance underneath the sub-structure is available for stack-
up purposes. There is a lifting height limit on the BOP cranes. Ensure that the planned stack-up is
capable of being lifted into place with the BOP crane. It is not acceptable to compromise by setting the
wellhead lower into the cellar to allow extra clearance for the BOP crane.
15. Ensure that all the water tanks filled with fresh water and the water pit is filled with well water. Ensure
all pumps are functional, (from the water well, and from the surface pits / tanks). The HAL DSV is to
witness the functioning of the pumps.
16. Have the mud engineer check the chlorides and calcium in the fresh water, and if necessary mix soda ash
to reduce calcium content prior to mixing spud mud as per the mud program. The Chlorides test need to
be recorded in the DDR and the test also needs to be done for cement mixing water prior to mixing
record in DDR.
17. Ensure the flare line is run to the flare pit.
18. Ensure all required material, services and equipment are on location prior to spud.
19. Verify the rig 4 ½" IF FOSV’s to ensure they are fully opening. Check X/Os are available.
20. Ensure all required materials (including chemicals), safety valves, services and equipment for 20”
conductor and 17 ½” borehole section are on location prior to spud.
21. Rig up cellar pumps and lines to the waste pit and shale shakers. Confirm that the pumps are
operational. Ensure back up cellar pump is available, and operational.
22. Ensure proper screens are installed on the shale shakers and that there is sufficient stock of all screen
sizes at well site, stocks and usage to be recorded in Mud report and DDR.
23. Ensure the drill string components have been inspected, cleaned, measured and drifted. The assistant
driller must have an accurate record of all measurements in the BHA sheets.
24. Ensure that all wellhead equipment is on location. Read and record all model and serial numbers. The
DSV should physically check that all the equipment on location corresponds to the appropriate
requirements for the Cameron MBS wellhead and stage collar tools, and report any concerns to the
Drilling Superintendent.
25. The wellhead equipment will be delivered in two separate load-outs. The first will cover everything
required to drill the well, and the second load-out will cover the components required for running the
tubing and installing the X-Mas tree.
26. Cameron requires 48-hour notice for equipment and 36-hour notice for an engineer.
27. Ensure that all pressure tests equipment using chart records. All pressure test recording equipment
must:
a. Have been calibrated within last 12 months.
b. Have certificates for calibration.
c. Produce a legible chart or print out.
d. Operated within designed working pressure range.
28. Ensure that the work done with the Rotary Drilling Line is monitored as per ton-mile calculations, and
slip and cut of the drilling line is conducted as necessary.
29. Mark the cellar to reflect wellhead/X-mas tree orientation (Refer to wellhead/X-mas tree orientation
schematic from ROO, Appendix 18.10 A9 – ).
12.2 Pre-Spud Checklist

1. Prepare a minimum of 200 m3 of 1.05 sg spud mud.
45
NP_GX34_MI
2. Ensure the rig supplied well water has weight of 1.05 sg or less. Well water weighing in excess of 1.05
s.g. may contain excessive salts. Check with the Baroid mud engineer/ drilling superintendent prior to
using any well water for mud mixing weighing more than 1.05 sg.
3. Only fresh water should be used for pre-hydrating bentonite. Do not use well water if is much saline.
4. Fully review this drilling program. Contact DSV / Drilling Superintendent if there are any questions,
clarifications or concerns.
5. Conduct pre-spud meeting with all relevant personnel. Key ROO and Halliburton personnel will also
attend, and as a minimum the DSV and Drilling Superintendent will be present.
6. Hold a PJSM prior to all critical operations. Ensure that the meeting is translated, if necessary. Document
all meetings and have attendees sign document.
7. The DSV is to ensure that all Dammam disposal wells in the vicinity under 500 meters are turned off, and
that no further injection is undertaken until the “all clear” is given from the Drilling Superintendent.
8. Ensure that all of the drilling bits given in the program are present at the rig site.
9. In the past there have been many instances of nearby injector wells being turned off, but then turned
back on before the all clear is given - which may lead to a well control incident.
13.0 26” HOLE SECTION (0 m – 43 m)

This section has already been drilled and 20" conductor has been set and cemented at depth of 35m from GL
(43m MDBRT), prior to the rig arriving on site.
Ensure that a ball valve is welded to the 20” casing to allow discharge of the mud inside the Conductor Pipe. The
ball valve should be installed to a point which may not block the welding of the steel plate to the bottom of the
cellar, should a leak outside the casing seat would necessitate the use of a steel plate to be installed.
14.0 17 ½” HOLE SECTION (43 m – 613 m)

14.1 Drilling Risk and Mitigation
Risk Severity Formation Mitigation
- Do not penetrate Dammam more than 10m.
- Need accurately pick up the top of Dammam
Well Control (Losses) Medium Dammam
- If losses occur, keep hole full to maintain the hydrostatic
pressure.
- Maintain low fluid loss as per mud specifications.
Dibdibba & - Quick reaction, reduce the flow rate.
Sloughing formation Low
Ghar - Pump sweeps / pills to counter losses.
- Ensure mud parameters maintained at all times.
Casing Hanger not landing Low TD Section A wellhead (13-3/8” CHH) is slip type wellhead

46
NP_GX34_MI
14.2 Preparation
1. Review hazards and mitigations above.
2. Install the 20” riser and flow-line by welding it to the existing 20” conductor stump. Nipple up as per
drilling contractor procedures.
3. The HAL DSV is to confirm that the 17 ½” drill bit is supplied with the nozzles according to the program.
4. Mud Logger to ensure sensors have been calibrated and alarms set and functioning.
5. Check the type of wellhead and accessories (Plug tester and Wear Bushing) same type, if different, ask
Cameron/ROO to provide.
6. Cover well to avoid any dropping object in borehole.
7. RIH to 25 m BRT and break circulation. Verify all equipment is functional and the rig is ready to spud.
8. Once the rig is determined to be acceptable to spud, call the Drilling Superintendent to inform him.
Report the date and time of spud-in of the well.
9. NMDCs will be picked up. Adhere to the following:
 Record BHA weight below the jar.
 If NMDC to be P/U then follow Halliburton NMDC make up and break out procedures.
(Recommended M/U Torque = 87 – 91 K ft-lb).
 DSV to be on the rig floor while the making up the BHA.
10. Check cellar if there is any return and cure same with pumping cement with accelerator additives.
11. The cellar should be monitored to confirm that there are no washouts occurring. Washouts will indicate
that either the 20" conductor cementing was not fully effective, or that flow is breaching shallow
formations. If washouts are evident circulation should be stopped and the 17 ½” BHA pulled out of the
borehole. Contact the Drilling Superintendent for further instruction, if possible try and obtain
photographs of the washouts.
12. In order to be prepared for the 20 in conductor pipe washout ensure that a pair of 3/8 in thick C-plate is
available (with a size of 1.22 m x 0.61 m each piece) with four (4) gussets. The plate is going to provide
more surface area for cement bonding and give better seal against 20” conductor pipe. The cement
thickness to be placed at the bottom of cellar could be approximately 40cm.
14.3 17 ½” Hole Drilling Procedure

13. TD criteria for 17-1/2” hole section is 10-15m Inside Dammam at 613m MDBRT.
14. Make up 17 ½” Rotary Pendulum BHA and PDC bit.
15. In order to avoid washing out below the conductor shoe, drill the first 30 meters below the conductor
shoe with the following reduced parameters:
 WOB of 5 - 10 Klb.
 Flow rate of 1,500 - 2,000 lpm.
 Rotation of 50 - 90 rpm.
 Control ROP at 10 m/hr.
16. After drilling out the first 30 meters from the shoe, continue to section TD with the following
parameters.
 WOB of 10 - 20 Klb.
 Flow rate of 3000 - 3500 lpm.
 ROP at 20 - 30 m/hr.
In case to present axial vibration in surface, reduce RPM and increase WOB to minimize vibration.
17. Drill this borehole with controlled mud properties, especially, filter loss. Run centrifuge to keep drilled
solids at a minimum. Reduce weight on bit if “bit balling” have been encountered & use anti-bit balling
agents in mud system. Use drilling parameters value according to the above drilling forecast program
with performing accurate drill-off test (DOT).
47
NP_GX34_MI
18. While drilling pump 3 m3 (± 20 bbl) Hi Vis pill to assist in borehole cleaning if required.
19. The 17 ½” hole section TD will be 10-15m inside Dammam, 13 ⅜” casing setting depth will be defined by
the ROO Wellsite Geologist according to the section TD criteria in this program and next indicators:
 Ensure that 17-1/2” section TD should be 10m minimum into Dammam Formation. Depending
on the casing tally, 17-1/2” section TD can be slightly more than 10m, but no more than 15m
into the Dammam. Exact section TD depth should be discussed with ROO Wells Drilling Rig
Engineer and Team Leader
 Monitor for a slowdown in ROP and/or change in torque as these are both indicators of the top
of Dammam formation;
 When the above is seen, stop drilling and circulate for bottoms up;
 Ensure that limestone lithology is verified and calcimetry data checked; If Limestone percentage
starts to increase to greater than 5%, drill at 1m increment, stop and circulate bottom up (CBU)
to check for LST % increase in the cuttings. If the CBU sample shows LST lithology increases to 15-
20%, call the depth as section TD.
 In the event of total losses primary well control could be lost, and at this stage there is no
secondary well control equipment installed;
20. At bottom sweep borehole with 10-15 m3 (60 - 100 bbl) HVP, circulate hole clean with minimum 2 x
bottom up and condition mud by circulation to get the desired mud properties favorable for a good
surface cement job by minimizing cement channeling, in the drilling fluid and in the annulus.
21. Perform a 15 minute flow check. Rotate the string at 30 RPM.
22. Drop EMS. Do not pump down. Allow it to go down by gravity (~ 30 min).
23. POOH to surface and retrieve the EMS tool at surface. Flush the EMS tool with fresh water prior to laying
the tool down, ensuring the EMS engineer is satisfied with the condition of the tool and the data is
acquired as necessary.
24. If encountered a lot of Overpull or drag during tripping out with 17 ½” BHA, wiper trip to bottom will be
considered prior to run casing after discussion with office.
25. Circulate borehole clean with minimum 2 x bottom up and condition mud properties for running casing.
26. Perform a 15 minute flow check. POOH to surface. Refer to Appendix 18.3 A3 − Borehole Cleaning
and Tripping Best Practices.
27. Lay down the 17 ½” BHA.

Mud Plan
 The surface circulating mud system be prepared and tested before building spud mud
 Perform water rig test (hardness test: Mg++ and Ca++) and Bentonite hydrate test. If the Ca2+
concentration is higher than 400mg/l, the water shall be treated with sodium carbonate. Analyze the
drill water and pass the result to the drilling foreman. Consult C-man on rig site and Baroid Technical
Professional at Halliburton base if salinity of water exceeds 1000 mg/l
 This section will be drilled using a simple Spud mud (freshwater Pre-hydrated BENTONITE), BENTONITE
should be pre-hydrated in fresh drill-water. Soda Ash and Caustic Soda will be used to treat any
excessive hardness (Ca++, Mg++).
 Start drilling 17 ½” hole section with 1.05 SG mud weight and maintain same weight through all the
section unless hole conditions dictate otherwise.
 The pH should be adjusted to 10 with Caustic Soda after the Bentonite has been added to ensure enough
Bentonite can be added to the original make up water. This should then be allowed to pre-hydrate for a
minimum of 8 hours, with the agitators running, prior to dilution or use.
 This section contains clay and the MBT will increase while drilling. It is recommended to run dilution to
control rheology and MBT. Also, a polymer sweeps is highly recommended to enhance hole cleaning
using BARAZAN D at 2.87 Kg/m3 (1ppb). High mud rheology can be controlled with dilution and the
addition of water.
 Due to high ROP expected, the shale shakers should be dressed with finest screens practicable (API-30,
API-50), once drilling was underway and shakers under control then (API-80 to API-110) could fit if
possible.
 Maintain Yield Point of the sweeps above 60 lbs/100ft2 for maximum hole cleaning, and monitor the
response of sweep at shakers

2 Bow Centralizer 2 bow Centralizers inside 20” Conductor.*
* The quantity of centralizers will be adjusted according to the hole conditions while drilling and the final
cement program
1. While drilling 17 ½” borehole section, it is important to plan the casing running and cementing
operations. Use this time to verify your casing tally and possible setting depths.
2. BTC thread makeup is to the triangle and not a specific torque magnitude. An average value can be
obtained after the first 10 joints are made up. The average magnitude to be obtained shall be reported
in the DDR.
3. 13 ⅜” pup joints may be required to land 10 meters into the Dammam. Have a selection of pup joints
and a variation in range 2 joints on location.
4. “Special precautions” must be taken to keep pipe in the well center. Remember a deviated surface
borehole will create problems throughout the well.
5. Two (2) Bow centralizers to be installed at 5m and 15m below the wellhead to help with alignment.
6. The plan is use centralizers type “Bow Spring” and 1 or 2 are to be run below the wellhead to help with
alignment as per cement program. Centralization across the cemented interval is to attain a minimum of
60% standoff (60 - 80% recommended). This will promote hole cleaning and prevent cement channeling.
14.9 Running 13 ⅜” Casing

Prior to Running the Casing
1. Ensure every pin and box protector has been removed, the connections cleaned, inspected and doped
and the protectors re-installed at least 24 hours prior to being picked up. Refer to the guideline for
cleaning the casing/tubing threads and visual thread inspection at the rig site, given in Appendix 18.9
A8 − Rig-Site Guidelines for Cleaning and Visual Inspection of Casing/Tubing Threads.
50
NP_GX34_MI
2. Use a solid 12.459" casing drift to verify the drift of every joint of casing prior to running, (including pup-
joints). The DSV shall physically check and confirm the OD of the casing drift. Any joints that cannot be
drifted should be clearly marked as such and set aside so they are not accidentally RIH.
3. Ensure all casing running equipment has valid certificates and address the lessons learned from the HIPO
in previous casing running operation.
4. Ensure that the direction of the Side Outlet Valve of the Casing Head Housing is going to be in the
direction as stated in the Appendix 18.10 A9 – .
6. Ensure that the Cameron engineer has verified the condition of the wellhead Slip-Lock casing head
housing (CHH) and wellhead upper casing spool (UCS) by checking the following critical elements: The
bore is clean and free of debris, the ring groove and seal areas are clean and undamaged.
7. M/U the cement head, ensuring bottom and top plugs correctly installed. The DSV is to witness both the
M/U of the cement head, and plug installation, verifying beforehand that the correct plugs are installed.
8. Ensure the casing tally is properly planned so that a casing collar is spaced out approximately 1.0 - 1.5 m
above the rotary table with the casing shoe no more than 2 m off bottom. A poorly planned casing tally
can result in either: The float shoe being spaced out more than 2 m off bottom or a casing coupling being
spaced out too high in the derrick. Neither of these situations is acceptable.
9. The casing tally should include: joints to be run, spare joints, and rejected joints - this information is
critical to ensuring the correct number of joints have been used once the casing is landed.
10. Ensure that two sets of the following equipment is present and in good condition: 13 ⅜” float valve and
float joint (thread-locked in work shop), spare 13⅜" shoe track joint (coupling thread-locked in
workshop), 13 ⅜" float shoe and shoe joint with pre-installed bow spring centralizer (thread-locked in
workshop).
11. Ensure the circulating head (13 3/8” BTC Pin x 2” 1502 WECO) available on rig floor.
12. Ensure Automatic Density Control System is installed and functioning on the cement unit.
13. Ensure that there are sufficient bow spring centralizers for a placement frequency as per centralizers
program. The exact placement frequency will be specified in the specific cementing programs.
Running 13 ⅜” Casing
1. Hold PJSM with all relevant personnel. Review how importance of having 13 ⅜” casing centralized in the
wellhead and the mast while running casing.
2. R/U the casing running equipment.
3. P/U the 13 ⅜" float shoe and shoe track joint with pre-installed bow spring centralizer.
 Make sure the borehole is full with mud. Check shoe joint is working properly by filling up the first
joint with mud, pulling up so that the shoe is just below the rotary table and check the shoe is
draining - wait until the joint no longer drains. Run the joint back in the borehole, wait for 30
seconds and check the joint has not filled by picking up again and ensuring no further mud drains
from the shoe. If the shoe doesn’t drain or does fill up again, pick up the back-up one.
 P/U the intermediate shoe track joint and make it up to the 13 ⅜" float shoe track joint.
 P/U the 13 ⅜" float collar and float collar joint and M/U same.
 All Shoe track connections are to be thread locked – see yellow arrows on schematics below.
 Check complete shoe track assembly is working properly by filling up the first 3 joints with mud and
repeating the float checking process.
4. Continue RIH with 13 ⅜” casing observing the following guidelines:
 Run bow spring centralizers as per the centralizer program.
 Fill the casing with mud every 3 - 5 joints, circulate mud as borehole conditions dictate and record all
parameters and activities to be reported in the DDR.
51
NP_GX34_MI
 Casing running speed should be maintained at approximately 2 minutes/joint (slip to slip). Do not
exceed this running speed otherwise surge pressures could be sufficient to break down the
formation and induce mud losses.
5. Replace hand slip with spider slip at ±200 m or when 30Klbs weight is achieved.
6. RIH to section TD, make up circulating head and precautionary wash down last two joints, tag and
confirm bottom and position the 13 ⅜” casing shoe no more than 3 m from bottom, (this should space-
out the final casing coupling 1 - 1.5 m above the rotary table. The final space-out should be made by an
upward string movement. A maximum acceptable rat borehole beneath the casing shoe is 2 m to ensure
shoe placement at competent Dammam formation (Cap Rock). Clearly mark the pipe with the final
space-out so that it can be easily identified.
7. If any fill in bottom experienced (slack off), then R/U circulating head and wash down the last joints of
casing and tag bottom lightly. An extra joint might be required to tag and verify the bottom.
8. Confirm the final ‘in-borehole’ casing tally by counting the spare joints on the pipe rack, and checking
the joint quantities against the initial tally. Ensure the following:
 That no coupling is going to be at the 13 ⅜” casing cut off length.
 That no casing collar is going to coincide within the interval where the CHH is going to be installed.
 A drag sheet is available and monitor this will help indicate tight borehole.
 Start and stop pumps slowly any time circulation is to be done.
9. If tight hole is encountered while running casing, rotate casing @ 10 rpm max and wash/ream tight spots
clear, monitor for torque values not to exceed make up torque limits, circulate a minimum of one
bottoms up to ensure that the hole is clean. Bring pumps on line slowly and monitor pressure for packing
off. If pack-off occurs, slow down pumps and attempt to move casing, call Drilling Superintendent.
10. Land the casing.
11. P/U and M/U the cementing head to the last joint of the casing string.
12. Circulate a minimum of two bottoms-up (annular volume), and if necessary carry out further mud
conditioning prior to cementing. A low yield point (YP) is required. Maintain low end rheology (6 and 3
rpm readings) as per the program to assist in borehole cleaning. Monitor returns for losses.
14.10 Cementing 13 ⅜” Casing

Note: A specific 13-3/8” Cementing program will be issued with final volumes and procedures. The above
operations are preliminary proposed guidelines.
Preparation prior to commencing cementing operations
1. Ensure that 13 ⅜” casing is well centralized with wellhead, rotary table and the mast.
2. Specific cementing program shall be produced for every single cement job and must be reviewed and
approved by the DSV and drilling engineer prior to commencing operations.
3. Fresh water to be used for mixing cement shall be checked for chloride content, and the value approved
by both the cementing supervisor and DSV.
Do not use mix water with a chloride concentration above 500 ppm. Do not assume that the water is fresh
because it has been delivered as fresh water. Mud Engineer must check it then record Chloride concentration
in ppm in DDR.
4. All scales and weighing devices are to be checked and calibrated. Test cements unit offline and record.
5. The Drilling Engineer, DSV and cementing supervisor must complete the cement calculations at the rig
site prior to commencing any cementing operations. Any anomalies or differences between the two sets
of calculations must be doubled checked and resolved prior to issuing the final pumping / displacement
program.
6. Ensure all Chiksans, valves and the cement units have valid certification. The HAL DSV is to witness
loading cement plugs in cement head.
7. Cement lab test should be performed as per Cementing Program prior to cement job.
52
NP_GX34_MI
8. Confirm all pumps efficiency (including all cement units and rig pumps) by circulating to trip tank / slug
tank. Record pumps efficiency in DDR.
9. The DSV is to confirm that the suction and discharge line screens have been cleaned, and that the mud
pump intake, valves and the strainers are clean and have been checked prior to the cementing
operations.
10. Automatic density control system should be used to get better density control both tail and lead slurry.
DSV to confirm this equipment is available prior to cementation.
11. While cementation, pumping rate must be reduced to allow density fix if density fluctuation exceed 0.1
sg.
12. It is recommended that the density is controlled to an accuracy of within ±0.2 lb\gal (0.02 g/cc) of the
design density.
13. During final circulation, rig up all cement lines. The cementing supervisor and DSV are to “walk the lines”
and ensure the rig-up is appropriate. The lines should be rigged up in a manner that allows an easy
switch between the cement and rig pumps. Do not make the final line connection to the cement head
while circulating.
Operational considerations
1. Hold PJSM. Do not stop circulation while conducting the PJSM; the maximum period between stopping
circulation and commencing cementing operations should ideally be no more than 15 minutes. Loggers
and mud engineer to record and log pit volumes
2. Stop circulating and rig up cement lines by verify all connections between the cement head and cement
lines.
3. Test cementing lines as per cementing program.
4. Cement 13 ⅜” casing as per the cement program. Take slurry samples during cementing job, and ensure
the samples are clearly labeled and placed in a safe place for future reference. One cement sample
should be placed in a metal sample cup and inserted into either the mud loggers or mud engineer’s
oven pre-set at a temperature to simulate approximate down borehole temperatures at section TD.
5. Plan to displace cement with the rig pumps. Make sure to measure pump efficiencies for both pumps
ahead of the cementing job. When switching over between the cement pump and rig pump ensure that
the line volume is accounted for - normally this would mean pumping an additional volume of cement
equal to the line volume. Observe and verify the indicator at the cementing head to be certain that the
top & bottom wiper plugs have been dropped.
6. Slow down to 0.5 bpm prior to bumping the top plug.
7. Bump plug at 500 psi over final circulation pressure.
8. Bleed of and check for back flow.
9. If the plug has bumped and the floats are holding, then a casing pressure test will be performed. Test
casing to 1,000 psi and hold for 30 minutes as per ROO Working with Pressure Standards. The pressure
test is to be performed with the cement unit and recorded on a chart. Bleed off
10. The pressure and record the volume returned in the DDR. Send data to ROO and Halliburton offices.
11. If the floats are not holding and the well is back-flowing, pump the recovered back-flow volume back
into the casing, trapping the pressure inside the casing string to prevent further back-flow. Monitor the
pressure inside the casing string. Don’t release the trapped pressure until the cement has gained 1,000
psi compressive strength to prevent any further back flow. Before the release the trap pressure, DSV
must get approval from Drilling Superintendent in office.
12. If the plugs do not bump at the theoretical volume then continue to displace only ½ shoe track volume
until the plug has bumped. Do not displace more than ½ shoe track volume if no plug bump is observed.
13. Accurately record and report volume pumped during displacement and record volume and density of
returns to surface.
14. WOC with the casing load on the block with elevators.
53
NP_GX34_MI
15. WOC until surface samples get hard. Refer to the cement program.
16. If no cement returns are seen at surface then a surface cement top up job should be performed as per ZI
(zonal isolation) standard, to ensure the annulus is properly isolated. However, CPM office need to
discuss and getting approval from client (ROO) on forward plan.
17. While WOC. Do not perform any derrick operations if activities are on-going in the cellar area (e.g.
cement top up).
18. Ensure any excess cement is removed from surface equipment and cellar. Flush all lines in addition to
cement unit.
19. Check the 20” x 13 ⅜” annulus, and if the cement level in between is going to be observed to be below
ground level, prepare and fill the annulus with cement, and report in DDR the amount of cement filled in
the 20” x 13 ⅜” annulus.
20. Record and send charts of cementing, displacement and casing testing to the office.
21. R/D cementing head.

Propose Cementing Design and Program
 Design
• The job will be done using lead and tail cement slurries.
• Overall 170% Lead / 70% Tail Open hole annular excess has been assumed for this section.
• Top of lead @ surface.
• Top of tail @ 376m
It is highly recommended to take into consideration casing stretch which is expected to be 0.124 m based
on iCem simulation. Therefore rat hole should be reviewed accordingly to be greater than casing stretch.

• To minimize the potential of channeling, we recommend that any high viscosity mud is conditioned,
lowering Plastic Viscosity and Yield Point as low as possible. Easily removable mud is the best way of
guaranteeing an effective cement placement and hermetic seal.
• 500psi compressive strength is recommended before drilling out the shoe or commencing any drilling
operation; a surface sample should be placed in oven at 42°C to monitor cement hardening. Chloride
concentration in mixing water must be checked prior commencing the cementing operation, if it is
higher than 500 ppm it is strongly recommended to change the water with new fresh water.

 Composition
 Job Procedure
 Rig up cement head and lines. Set up T-connector and connect with both rig pumps and cementing unit.
 Test cementing lines as per cementing program.
 Using cementing unit, pump water ahead of cement slurries with approximate rate 1110 lpm.
 Drop bottom plug in CPM representative presence. Make sure plug was dropped. Set up plug indicator
to the initial position.
 Mix and pump continuously lead cement slurry “on the fly” with approximate rate 954 lpm. Density 1.50
SG.
 Mix and pump continuously tail cement slurry “on the fly” with approximate rate 795 lpm. Density 1.90
SG.
o Check density by pressurized mud balance. Control Density in a range of ± 0.03 SG
o Take cement slurry samples: 1 at beginning of mixing, 1 at half of total volume that has been
mixed and 1 at the end. Mark samples properly according to HMS procedure. One sample must
be handed to CPM representative.
 Drop Top Plug in CPM representative presence. Make sure plug was dropped.
 Pump fresh water as a spacer and commence to remaining displacement with rig pumps.
* Cementing unit will be used to displace in case of any issue with rig pumps.
 Switch over to rig pump for remaining displacement volume.
 If top plug was not bumped over-displace not more than a half volume of the shoe track.
Note: If rig pumps will be used for accurate displacement volume, rig pumps efficiency should again be
checked at 1272 – 1590 L/min and it should be witnessed by Company Man and Halliburton Supervisor.
Displacement volume has to be physically measured by rig tanks by assigned personnel as well as per
mud logging unit if possible. Displacement volume must be calculated before the job according to the
actual depth and casing tally.
 Shut down displacement. Hold pressure for 10 min. Release pressure from casing and check for flow-
back into the tanks of cementing unit. Report to Company man returned volume.
a) If float valve does not hold pressure and the well is still back-flowing, pump the recovered back-flow
volume in maximum of 3 attempts.
b) Green Pressure test casing to the value stated in the drilling program for 30 min in the following
situations:
i) Plug bumped Ok and floats hold.
55
NP_GX34_MI
c) Plug bumped Ok but floats do not hold. Once test is finished bleed off the pressure to Final Surface
Pressure and leave pressure until tail cement slurry reaches compressive strength of 500 psi.
 To commence any drilling operations it is required 500 psi compressive strength of tail slurry or when
surface sample (in mud logger oven at 42 °C) is hard. Whichever takes longer time according to customer
request. Review laboratory reports for further details on WOC time.
Note: A specific 13-3/8” Cementing program will be issued with final volumes and procedures. The above

15.2 Preparation
1. Make sure all required materials, tools & equipment are in place for 12 ¼” borehole drilling operations.
2. Ensure that LCM pills are already mixed in advance in order to be prepared for losses while drilling
Dammam formation (e.g. 2 m3 LCM pill at the beginning of each stand [50 lb/bbl composed of F, M, C]).
3. Review Appendix 18.6 A5 − Dammam Lost Circulation Strategy for full details on strategy for dealing
with Dammam losses.
4. If single bit is planned for the entire section, set the MWD flow range from 1700 lpm to 2400 lpm
5. Drilling Engineer and DSV to ensure and confirm by cementing that 9-5/8” DV tool is PDC drillable.
15.3 12 ¼” Hole Drilling Procedure

1. Section TD criteria for 12-1/4” hole section is 8-15m inside Sadi formation at 2037m MDBRT.
2. Hold a PJSM.
3. P/U and M/U the 12 ¼” Rotary BHA as per program.
4. RIH the 12 ¼” BHA. Wash down the last two stands and tag the top of cement, record depth of tag in the
DDR. Take in consideration the reference section 6.6 of this program, Offset Well Locations, and
section 6.7 Distinct Permeable Zones, and then check the status of offset injectors with the ROO Drilling
Superintendent and ROO TK TL to ensure wells are shut in as required.
5. Before drilling out the shoe track conduct a kick/choke drill with the rig crew. DSV to ensure the driller
can, without prior knowledge, recognize the signs of a kick and rig crew is capable of shutting in the well
within the DSV's time expectation. DSV to attend any well control drill and submit a performance review
with recommendations for any improvements thereafter.

NP_GX34_MI
6. If the casing was pressure tested after the plug was bumped (13 3/8” cementing job), there is no need to
pressure test the casing. If the casing was not pressure tested after the plug was bumped, then a
pressure test will be required; in that case, drill the FC and cement to 5 m above shoe. Pressure test
casing against 5” DP to 1,000 psi for 30 min and record on pressure chart, then provide data from rig to
Halliburton and ROO offices.
7. Continue drill out the shoe track, clean pocket and drill ahead 12 ¼” hole section with the following
reduced parameters:
 WOB of 5 -10 Klb
 Flow rate of 1,700 - 2,200 lpm
 Rotation of 50 - 60 rpm
8. Once all the stabs are out of the casing continue drilling 12 ¼” hole section with control parameters
through Dammam formation using the following drilling parameters:
 WOB of 5 -15 Klb.
 Flow rate of 1,700 lpm.
 ROP – up to 10 m/hr.
See Appendix 18.2 A2 − Connection Best Practices.
 Monitor for losses while drilling. If partial losses are observed, use the appropriate lost circulation
pills.
 Pay close attention to the performance of the shale shakers. Screen up from 105 meshes to 140
meshes as required. If loss circulation occurs the screens will need to be put back to 50 or 80
meshes, depending on the mud engineer directions.
 Maintain bottom hole pressure (BHP) by keeping the mud weight constant and the hole full at all
times - if necessary by filling up directly into the annulus. Take special care when transferring into
the active mud system ensuring all transfers are weighed beforehand.
Contingency Plan Curing Dammam Losses

 Request Temperature log from MWD to identify exact depth of losses
 If total losses in Dammam, refer to the flow chart Appendix 18.5 A5 − Dammam Lost Circulation
Strategy.
Notes:
 Ensure, and dispose enough water in the rig to fill annulus as necessary
 Ensure enough material and requirements to pump at least 2 batches of 58 bbl of SentinelCem
before start drilling Dammam formation
 Confirm that line up to the annulus through the kill line is fully understood to allow to top filling
through the annulus quickly in case is needed.
 If it is decided to pump a cement plug to cure losses, is recommended to pump ~35m³ (~220 bbl) of
Thixotropic cement (1.50 sg).
 For total losses, the plugs to be pumped will be thixotropic cement with Lower density / low
temperature slurry, low compressive strength, short initial set time available and rheological
properties as high as possible (YP ~ 80 lbf/100ft²)
 Once plugs cement had been set with OEDP and cement stinger, POOH 10 stands and circulate
with low flow rate +- 350 lpm several string volumes (no Bottoms up) to minimize any pressure
exerted on the cement after placement. Close BOP to vacuum lock the well while WOC, to minimize
losing cement statically.
 DO NOT use water to drill out cement plugs. Use the same drilling parameters
63
NP_GX34_MI
9. Once the Dammam has been drilled and losses cured, resume drilling to 10m inside Rus formation.
 The well should be circulated to remove all cuttings, and perform a flow-check to confirm whether
or not there are any static losses. Treat any losses with the appropriate pill as outlined in drilling
fluids section.
10. Continue drilling 12 ¼” borehole section following directional program through Rus and UER using the
following parameters:
 WOB of 10 - 30 Klb
 Flow rate of 2,200 – 2400 lpm
 Rotation in surface 50 - 70 rpm
11. Drill pipe screen must be used while drilling, tripping in the hole and when filling pipe to break
circulation during trips. Make sure to remove DP screen prior to tripping in string
Prior to drilling ahead through the UER increase the mud weight as per mud program.
 Refer to Appendix A2 − Connection Best Practices. In-case of partial losses, pump LCM pills during
drilling.
 Before connection, Check with office to either wash up and ream down one single or full stand
drilled.
 Take survey every stand drilled as necessary or as DD requirement after circulate hole while
reciprocate complete one stand. Place the string 1 joint off-bottom and take survey (do not take the
survey on bottom, high risk to stuck pipe)
12. At +/- 10m above tayarat, perform wiper trip to KOP depth if hole conditions dictate.
13. As the Tayarat is a potential zone where sulfurous water flows occur, the following precautions need to
be taken:
 Ensure sufficient H2S scavenger is added to the mud system prior to drill into the Tayarat.
 Ensure the mud weight is held at a minimum of 1.13 sg. Mud Engineer is to do frequent mud
properties checks to keep it within desired limits. Allowing the mud weight to fall below 1.13 sg will
expose the well to the possibility of sulfurous water flows from the Umm Er Radhuma or Tayarat and
allowing the mud weight to climb above 1.14 sg will increase the risk of breaking down either the
Dammam or Hartha and increasing the risk of losses.
 Monitor for H2S flows from the Tayarat. Maintain and monitor the pH of the mud above 9.5.
 Ensure that Garret Gas Train is operational (analyze 2 samples per day).
 If H2S is observed at surface then this must be treated as a well control event and therefore must be
dealt with as per the ROO Well Control Emergency Response Plan (ROO-WELLS-GEN-STD-002) and the
ROO Well Control Practices (ROO-WELLS-GEN-STD-003). Treat any H2S contamination with H2S
scavenger (SOURSCAV) and lime as needed.
14. Borehole in Shiranish and Tayarat formations can be tight. If tight spots are encountered, work them as
per borehole cleaning and tripping best practices in Appendix 18.3 A3 − Borehole Cleaning and
Tripping Best Practices.
 Ensure wash up and ream down complete stand in Shiranish before connection.
 Do not pump Hi-Vis pills while drilling from Rus to top of Hartha unless hole dictates. If abnormal
torque increment while drilling, circulate and evaluate hole condition.
15. Continue drill to top of Hartha formation. Circulate 2 bottoms up to clean borehole and ensure mud
properties are good condition prior to drill Hartha. If the hole condition dictates, perform a wiper trip to
top of Tayarat or to 13 3/8” shoe if required.
64
NP_GX34_MI
 Treat active system to drill Hartha with bridging material (STEEL SEAL + BARACARB 25 +
BARACARB 150)
16. Continue drilling through Hartha up to section TD 8-15 m into Sadi formation (ROO geologist to confirm
section TD), considering the following parameters while drilling through Hartha formation:
 WOB: 10 – 20 Klb.
 Flow Rate: 1800 -1950 lpm.
 Surface RPM of 30 - 70 RPM.
 ROP up to 10 m/hr
 Keep annulus full with 1.14 sg mud at all time by filling up from back side when encounter losses.
 Before to take any decision to open the PBL, consult with HAL office on town. As general
guidelines:
- If partial losses encountered, pumped LCM pills with 40 ppb – 80 ppb and see if losses can be controlled.
The loss rate will dictate whether or not activate the PBL sub
- If severe to total losses occur in the Hartha formation, POOH above the loss zone, open PBL and pump 80
– 180 ppb of LCM pills, monitor loss rate and check if pills reduce losses.
- If is not possible to cure the losses with LCM, POOH and set cement plugs or evaluate to use SentinelCem;
then a two stage cementing process will be undertaken. This will involve running a stage collar (stage
collar or MSICP) +/- 100 m above Hartha formation. See the procedures Appendix 18.3 A3 − Borehole
Cleaning and Tripping Best Practices.
17. At section TD, circulate for borehole clean till shale shaker clean by sweep with Hi-vis pill for minimum 2
bottom up, flow check, POOH for wiper trip to Top of Hartha formation. Wiper trip to casing shoe may
be required if hole conditions dictate.
18. RIH back to bottom, make sure borehole condition is good (no tight spots, no drags), pump 5 m3 Hi-Vis
pill, circulate for borehole clean till shale shaker clean for 3 bottoms up, flow check.

Mud Weight Plan

Ensure mud weight is 1.05 SG and drill through Dammam till Rus formation, increase mud weight gradually as
drilling proceeds through Rus to be 1.12 sg @ UER top. Drill ahead through UER and continue increasing MW
gradually to be 1.13 sg to 50m above Tayarat top. Drill Tayarat with 1.13 sg and monitor the well carefully; if
hole conditions dictate; discuss with office increasing MW to 1.14 sg and maintain same MW through Shiranish,
Hartha and Sadi till section TD.
Mud maintenance
66
NP_GX34_MI
Drilling out cement, Save usable volume remaining from 17 ½`` section, use this volume to drill out cement to
the 13 3/8`` casing shoe, use short system.
If enough room at surface reserve pit, store the contaminated mud in separated tank to be used in case of losses
while drilling Dammam. If High contamination with cement, the hole will be displaced to new fresh Gel polymer
mud by pumping spacer (Hi vis pill or BAROLIFT pill at 0.1 ppb) followed by fresh Gel polymer mud.
Mud salvaged from the previous section will be used as a base to give some gel strength to the polymer system
in this section; the pre-hydrated Bentonite will be used to provide cake support. The previous mud will be
converted to Gel polymer:
 BARAZAN D will be used to adjust the viscosity and PAC L/ DEXTRID LTE will be used to get filtrate less
than 10 then tighten to 6 prior reaching section TD, this will permit creating a durable and impermeable
mud cake and providing good hole stability.
Anhydrite beds can be expected while drilling especially RUS formation, and can increase the Calcium ion. Treat
with Soda Ash. Treat any H2S contamination with Zinc Carbonate or SOURSCAV (H2S Scavanger) and lime while
drilling EUR/Tayarat.
Add EZ-MUD and BAROTROL PLUS and as per program for better inhibition especially while drilling Shiranish
formation for clay inhibition, and CONDET E if needed for any suspected or preventive Bit balling treatment.
CaCO3 will be used to weight up the mud to desired MW. Barite can be used only in case of well control
situation.
Once casing is on bottom circulate shakers clean, then reduce mud rheology (YP) to < 21-18 lbs/100ft2 using
low rheology mud and thinner (THERMATHINE).

Preparing to Run 9 ⅝” Casing
and the protectors re-installed at least 24 hours prior to being picked up. Refer to the guideline for
cleaning the casing/tubing threads and visual thread inspection at the rig site, given in Appendix 18.9
A8 − Rig-Site Guidelines for Cleaning and Visual Inspection of Casing/Tubing Threads.
2. Use a solid 8.525" casing drift to verify the drift of every joint of casing prior to running, (including pup-
joints). The DSV shall physically check and confirm the OD of the casing drift. Any joints that cannot be
drifted should be clearly marked as such and set aside so they are not accidentally RIH.
3. Ensure all casing running equipment has valid certificates prior to rigging up the equipment.
4. Perform simulation Surge and Swab and stablish parameters to casing running.
5. Plan the 9⅝” casing running so that at least four (4) circulations (every 300m interval) are going to be
performed in the open borehole section to eliminate occurrence of pack offs. While breaking circulation,
start and stop pump slowly.
6. Ensure that the landing joint is available and the running tool is made up to the 9⅝ in mandrel casing
hanger. The length of the landing joint is suitable for the cementing operation to be performed safely.
7. For a clear understanding of the stage tool (DV) operation principle both:
 Detail of the tool being run. Halliburton cementing engineer on-site will verify the Stage Tools being
used.
 The pressure test limitations that should be applied, is required to be determined on the rig-site
68
NP_GX34_MI
 Halliburton on-site engineer will include a visual (picture) verification of the tool details LABEL and
include it noted on the pre-job checklist. This verification should verify the pins being used and
cross-reference that to the recommended test pressures.
 Should there be any discrepancy to the recommendation vs the program, change to the program
needs to be made in a timely manner.
8. 9 ⅝" Vam Top 47 lb/ft Box is the planned top connection of the landing joint.
9. The cement head will be used is quick latch type not the threaded one.
10. If the threaded type of cement head will be used; make sure that the XO under the cementing head is
with the same connection of the landing joint; make sure to have a backup XO.
11. The cementing crew should ensure that a backup XO from cementing unit to the landing joint is
available.
12. M/U the cement head, ensuring plugs are correctly installed. The DSV is to witness both the M/U of
the cement head, and plug installation (1st Stage), verifying beforehand that the correct plugs are
installed.
13. In case to be used MSIPC, ensure to use opening/close plug type “Composite” which are PDC drillable.
Plugs Cast iron type are drillable just with tricone bit. Confirm shear pins and ratings (report as a note in
DDR).
14. Ensure that the Cameron engineer has verified the condition of the mandrel casing hanger by checking
the following critical elements: The bore is clean and free of debris, all threads are clean and
undamaged, and the neck seal areas are clean and undamaged. Two Cameron engineers will be required
to be on location for installation of 9⅝” casing pack off.
16. Ensure that the casing hanger landing joint is made up to the casing hanger landing joint crossover.
17. Ensure that the required crossovers are made up to the mandrel casing hanger.
18. Ensure that the Cameron engineer has verified the condition of the casing hanger running tool by
checking the following critical elements: The bore is clean and free of debris, all threads are clean and
undamaged, and that the O-ring is clean and undamaged.
19. Ensure sufficient 9 ⅝” Vam Top 47 lb/ft L-80 pup joints are available to space-out the 9 ⅝” string so that
there is a maximum rat-borehole of 3m beneath the casing shoe once the mandrel casing hanger is
landed.
20. Ensure that the casing tally is properly planned so that once the casing hanger is landed the float shoe is
no more than 3m off bottom (maximum allowable rat borehole). The casing tally should include joints
to be run, spare joints and rejected joints. This information is critical to ensuring the correct numbers of
joints have been used once the casing is landed.
21. Ensure that two sets of the following equipment are present and in good condition.
 9 ⅝” landing joint and crossovers (top and bottom)
 9 ⅝” mandrel hanger and running tool.
 9 ⅝” float collar and float joint (thread-locked in work shop).
 9 ⅝” float shoe and shoe joint with pre-installed bow spring centralizer (thread-locked in workshop).
22. Ensure the X-over from 9 5/8" casing to 5” drill pipe (9 5/8” Vam Top P x NC50 (4 ½” IF) B is available on
the rig floor.
23. Ensure the circulating head (9 5/8” Vam Top Pin x 2” 1502 WECO) available on rig floor.
24. Ensure the casing ram test X-over (NC50 (4 ½” IF) P x 9 5/8” BTC B) and 7” casing X-over (9 5/8” BTC P x
Vam Top B) available on rig site.
25. Ensure that any differential pressure, (auto-fill) function on the float shoe is disabled. This is usually
achieved by pulling the tag on the auto-fill gasket.
26. Ensure that there are sufficient amount of centralizers on location to achieve over 80% stand off as per
centralizer program.
27. Ensure all Chiksans, valves and the cement unit has valid certification.

2. P/U the wear bushing retrieving tool (complete with saver sub).
3. M/U the wear bushing retrieval tool assembly to a joint of drill pipe.
4. Slowly lower the 13 ⅝" nominal wear bushing retrieving tool assembly into the lower wear bushing.
5. Rotate the retrieving tool to the left until the thread jump can be felt.
6. Slack off all weight to make sure the retrieving tool is down.
7. Rotate to the right one full turn or to a positive stop to fully engage the wear bushing.
8. Verify all tie-down screws are fully retracted from the bore - the uppermost tie-down screws protrude at
least 5.13" from the OD of the flange, and the lowermost by 5.06" from the OD of the spool body.
9. Retrieve the lower wear bushing with a straight vertical lift.
10. Clean, grease and store the running tool and wear bushing.
11. Close blind rams, opening the choke line to the trip tank to monitor the well and replace the upper 5"
pipe rams with 9⅝" rams.
12. Perform pressure test as follow:
 Open blind ram, run 13 5/8” Test plug on bottom, x-over from 4 ½” IF (NC50) to 9-5/8” BTC then 1
joint of 9-5/8” casing.
 Set test 13 5/8” test plug on CHH by slack off 10 Klbs, close casing ram against casing joint.
 Test casing ram to 300/1500 psi for 5/10 min through kill line. Monitor the lowest side outlet valve
of the wellhead to monitor the annulus while testing.
 Bleed off pressure, open casing rams, open the annulus valve and pull 13 5/8” test plug to surface.
13. R/U casing running equipment, power unit, JAM unit and connect hydraulic lines.
15.10 Running 9 ⅝” Casing

1. PJSM, R/U the casing running equipment.
2. P/U the 9⅝" float shoe and shoe track joint with pre-installed bow spring centralizer.

70
NP_GX34_MI
3. Continue RIH with 9 ⅝" casing, as per program casing running speed and observing the following
guidelines.
 Installed bow spring centralizers on pipe rack as per the cement program.
 Fill the casing with mud every 3 - 5 joints, circulate mud as borehole conditions dictate and report all
parameters and activities in the DDR.
 Use computer monitored torque system, to control amount of torque applied to make up the
connection to the recommended optimum make up torque value (15,900 lb-ft) for the 9 ⅝”, L-80,
47.0 lbs/ft casing. The graph should be flat line at optimum torque value.
 Limit the running speed to approx. 3-5 minute per joint (slip to slip) while the casing is being run
inside the open borehole. Is necessary run a speed simulation with DFG software from Baroid and
define the run speed according to losses formation and events occurred while was drilling phase. Do
not exceed this running speed otherwise surge pressures could be sufficient to break down the
formation and induce mud losses
4. Continue pick up and RIH with 9 ⅝˝ casing with Stage tool as per casing tally.
 In case of losses during RIH 9 ⅝˝ casing, please follow decision tree, agreed section 18.9 A9 – Decision
Tree for Running & cementing 9 5/8” Casing.
 If there is more than 130m thickness in the Shiranish formation and MSIPC or DV is to be RIH, place
MSIPC or DV 100m+/- above the top of the Hartha formation. If there is less than 130m thickness in the
Shiranish formation and MSIPC or DV is to be RIH, place MSIPC or DV at an appropriate depth to ensure
30m cement barrier between MSIPC or DV and the bottom of the Tayarat formation while maximizing
distance between the MSIPC or DV and the top of the Hartha formation. The DV/MSIPC shall be placed
on a gauge hole interval, which is to be determined from the “CAL-GR” log.
5. Resume RIH 9 5/8” casing as per casing tally until the joint to make up with Mandrel Casing Hanger.
Count and confirm the number of excess casing joint on location against the original number of joint
received. Confirm casing tally. Ensure to run washing down the last 2 joints.

NP_GX34_MI
15.11 Installing 9 ⅝” Mandrel Casing Hanger

1. Cameron Engineer should be on location (36-hour notice to Cameron Engineer) when P/U the 9⅝”
mandrel casing hanger already connected to the casing hanger running tool as given in Landing Joint
design, oriented with the casing thread down.
2. The mandrel casing hanger is going to be made up to the running tool in the workshop by Cameron.
3. If making up the casing hanger in the rotary (rig floor), mark the start of the threads of the hanger and
tool where these can be seen and align the marks offset to the clockwise around a half turn. The casing
hanger requires to be made up with 16 LH turns. Ensure that the mandrel casing hanger is made up on
rig floor by Cameron wellhead specialist supervision.
4. Slowly lower the tool onto the hanger until the thread flanks contact, slacken off the elevators till well
clear of the collar. And make up left hand very slowly with a chain tong. DO NOT USE CASING TONGS OR
DRIVE SYSTEMS TO MAKE UP. When fully made up the thread is NOT torqued, it is backed off 1/4 turn to
the right after full make up for easy retrieval of the tool once the mandrel casing hanger has been
landed.
5. Wipe the OD of the mandrel casing hanger neck, running tool O-ring and running threads with a light
coat of oil or grease.
6. Lower and M/U the mandrel casing hanger / running tool sub-assembly onto the top joint of 9⅝" casing
tally in the borehole.
7. Verify all tie-down screws in the entire system are fully retracted from the bore - the uppermost tie-
down screws protrude at least 5.13" from the OD of the flange, and the lowermost by 5.06" from the OD
of the spool body.
8. Open the annular valves in the wellhead CHH.
9. Strap in and keep centralized when running through the BOP and land off on the load shoulder at the
dimension recorder for running the wear bushing/test plug.
10. Starting from the top of the mandrel casing hanger load shoulder mark the assembly every 1 m to aid
landing the assembly at the correct space-out. The exact space-out will be as follows: Distance from the
datum (load shoulder) of the 9 ⅝” hanger to RT ± 8.49 m. The last 1 m should be marked out in 10 cm
intervals.
11. Slowly and carefully lower the entire 9 ⅝" casing string taking care as the hanger passes through the 13
⅝" BOP, landing the hanger on the wellhead CHH hanger profile.
12. Slack off the entire casing weight onto the mandrel casing hanger. Report in DDR the landing weight.
13. Using the dimension previously recorded verify the mandrel casing hanger has landed correctly by
viewing the datum mark on the hanger running tool.
14. A visual verification is available that the mandrel casing hanger has landed. After ensuring no pressure
has built up, remove the bull plug from the wellhead UCS side outlet valve, and set aside in a clean
environment. By peering into the outlet in the wellhead UCS side outlet valve a half moon profile with a
painted white line should be clearly visible and aligned with the outlet if the hanger is properly landed.
The Cameron engineer and DSV are to verify correct landing. Once satisfied that the mandrel casing
hanger is properly landed the bull plug can be re-installed into the wellhead UCS side outlet valve.

15.12 Cementing 9⅝” Casing

Note: A specific 9⅝” Cementing program will be issued with final volumes and procedures. The above
Prior to Commencing Cementing Operations

1. A full cement program will be produced and must be reviewed and approved by HAL Sr Drilling Engineer
prior to commencing operations.
2. The fresh water used for mixing cement shall be checked for chloride content, and the value approved
by both the cementing supervisor and DSV.
Do not uses mix water with a chloride concentration above 600 ppm.
3. All scales and weighing devices are to be checked and calibrated.
4. Drilling Engineer, DSV, mud engineer and cementing supervisor must complete the cement calculations
at the rig site prior to commencing any cementing operations.
5. The DSV is to witness loading cement plugs in cementing head.
6. Confirm all pump efficiencies (including all cement units and rig pumps) by circulating to trip tank.
Record in the DDR the pump efficiencies values.
7. Ensure the suction and discharge line screens on the mud pumps are cleaned prior to cementing job.
Report in the DDR.
73
NP_GX34_MI
Operational considerations for Cement 9 ⅝” Casing

1. M/U the cement head to the landing joint.
2. Circulate a minimum of 2 x annular volume (unless conditions dictate otherwise), to ensure the floats
will not plug with debris. If necessary carry out further mud conditioning prior to cementing to ensure
mud properties are optimal for a successful cement job. A yield point (YP) of 18 lb/100 ft 2 is necessary.
Halliburton don’t recommend pumping LCM through DV/MSIPC Tool.
3. While circulating fluid returns will be taken through the flutes of the casing hanger. Ensure that the side
outlet valves on the wellhead CHH are closed otherwise returns will also be taken through the wellhead
CHH side outlets resulting in fluid spilling into the cellar.
4. Pay close attention to the circulating pressure during this circulation as flow is now restricted to small
flutes alongside the casing mandrel hanger which are susceptible to packing off with cuttings. If these
flutes become plugged then it will be necessary to either pull the casing string to remove the casing
mandrel hanger from the profile, or if this isn’t possible the last resort will be to open the side outlet
valve (with returns now diverted outside the valve).
5. During circulation, rig up all cement lines. The cementing supervisor and DSV are to ‘walk the lines’ and
ensure the rig up is appropriate. The lines should be rigged up in a manner that allows an easy switch
between the cement and rig pumps. Do not make the final line connection to the cement head while
circulating.
6. Hold PJSM with continual circulation.
7. Stop circulating and double check all connections between the cement head and cement lines.
8. Test cementing lines to 300 psi for 5 minutes and 3,000 psi for 10 minutes, or to the maximum pressure
magnitude indicated in the cement program.
9. Cement 9 ⅝" casing as per final cement program. Take slurry samples during cementing job, and ensure
the samples are clearly labeled and placed in a safe place for future reference. One cement sample
should be placed in a metal sample cup and inserted into either the mud loggers or mud engineer’s oven
pre-set at a temperature to simulate approximate downhole temperatures at section TD.
10. Observe the indicator at the cementing head to be certain that the plug have dropped.
11. Plan to displace cement with the rig pumps. When switching over between the cement pump and rig
pump ensure that the line volume is accounted for.
12. Slow down to 318 lpm at the final 3.18 m3 displacement prior to bumping the top plug.
13. Bump plug at 500 psi over final displacement pressure. Shut down displacement.
a) If float valves do not hold pressure and the well is still back-flowing, check floats again. Try to shock
floats increasing rate pumping returned volume. Bleed off fast 3 attempts. Make a compressibility test:
measure volume to create certain pressure.
b) If floats do not hold pump again returned/received volume; bleed off pressure and re-check float
equipment. If not holding close valve and WOC.
14. If floats hold, Perform casing pressure; gradually increase pressure to 1500 psi to test 9⅝” casing and
hold pressure for 10 minutes. Record pressure test results.
15. Bleed off and check for black flow. Record the back flow volume and report it on the DDR.
16. If the floats are not holding and the well is back-flowing, pump the recovered back-flow volume back
into the casing, trapping the pressure inside the casing string to prevent further back-flow.
17. Monitor the pressure inside the casing string. Don’t release the trapped pressure until the cement has
gained 1000 psi compressive strength to prevent any further back flow. Before release the trap pressure,
DSV must getting approval from Drilling Superintendent in office.
18. If the plugs do not bump at the theoretical volume then continue to displace ½ shoe track volume until
the plug has bumped. NOTE: Do not displace more than ½ shoe track volume if no plug bump is
observed.
19. Bleed off the pressure, open the cement head and drop the opening plug (to open the ports of DV) and
wait for at least 30 min. Open stage collar port (Follow DV engineer instructions and manufactures’s
recommendations).
74
NP_GX34_MI
20. Circulate out excess cement and circulate borehole clean not less than 2 bottoms up through stage collar
port.
21. WOC as per cement program. Meanwhile continuously circulate with 4 – 5 bpm (635 – 795 lpm).
Second Stage Cementing

1. Proceed with 9⅝” second stage cement job as per Cement Program.
2. If the plug has bumped and the floats are holding then a casing pressure test will be performed. Test
casing to 1500 psi for 10 minutes (Maximum pressure depends on DV type, optimal casing pressure
test can be performed after drilling DV). The pressure test is to be performed with the cement unit and
recorded on a chart. Bleed off the pressure and record the volume returned in the DDR.
3. L/D the cementing head.
4. Release the mandrel casing hanger running tool by rotate the landing joint and hanger running tool to
the right approximately 16 1/2 turns or until thread jump can be felt to release the running tool from the
hanger.
5. L/D the landing joint and running tool assembly.
6. While waiting on cement it is necessary to wash the wellhead.
7. The DSV is to collect charts of cementing operation and send these to the office.
8. W.O.C until the cement has gained 500 psi compressive strength. Cement top job will be performed in
case of severe losses during cementing job. However, ROO approval will be required before proceed the
job.
 Design
 According to casing stretch calculations it is recommended to have rat hole more than 1.1 m to
compensate casing stretch during cement job. Casings stretch – 1.1 m.
 Light weight Lead slurry of 1.45 sg
 Tail slurry 1.75 sg
 Ensure that baffle adaptor has been installed on top of float collar.
 Once the well bore cleaning has been achieved with the optimum PV/YP mud (PV < 15 centipoise (cp),
YP < 20 lb/100 ft2) or as lowest as possible, if is correct the reduction PV/YP will see a reduction in the
pumping pressure value, the mud should then be conditioned prior to running the casing.
 Centralizers must be installed on the casing joints above and below the MSIPC/DV tool.
 If total losses occur during cement job, it is important to monitor pressure, reduce rates in order not to
cause opening of MSIPC/DV Tool prematurely because lack of hydrostatic pressure in the annulus; if
necessary annulus must be filled.

 Tail slurry of the first stage must be batch mixed to ensure same density in whole slurry volume.
 The well should be monitored closely for losses. The displacement rate should be reduced if
losses occur.
Note: Final volume and cement excess could be re-defined according to hole conditions while drilling.
 Composition
First Stage
76
NP_GX34_MI
Second Stage
 1st Stage Cement Job Procedure
 Hold Pre-Job Safety Meeting (PJSM) with all personnel involved discussing complete cement job
execution and any hazard related to it. Ensure that process given in the pump efficiency is determined as
per drilling program.
 Rig up Halliburton high pressure discharge line. Set up T-connector and connect with both rig
pumps and cement unit.
 Connect Halliburton high pressure discharge line to plug container, fill up line with 1m3 of fresh water
and pressure test discharge line first to 300 psi for 5 minutes and 3000 psi for 10 minutes, or according
to ROO representative request.
 Pump a pre mixed Chemical Wash of 1.00SG ahead of cement slurries with approximate rate 954-1113
lpm
 Pump a pre mixed Tuned Spacer E+ of 1.26SG ahead of cement slurries with approximate rate 954-1113
lpm.
 Mix and pump 1.75 s.g tail cement slurry and pumped at approximate rate 795 lpm.
 Drop first stage shut-off plug in customer representative presence.
77
NP_GX34_MI
 Displace plug with 1.6 m3 of fresh water at 954-1113 lpm.

 Pump displacement fluid. Slowdown rate to not more than 318 lpm in advance before first stage shut-off
plug will pass DV collar. Last 20 m3 reduce displacement rate to 318 lpm to observe plug bumping
pressure clear based on this volume and actual casing depth used. Pumping pressure increase
should be noticed as Top Plug lands on top of the float collar. If top plug was not bumped over-displace
not more than a half volume of the shoe track.
 Displacement volume must be recalculated before the job according to the actual depth and casing tally.
 Compressibility of the mud 0.079 m3 double check the value between Mud Engineer and company man.
 Land the plug with 500psi above final displacement pressure. Shut down displacement. Hold pressure
for 5 min and report to Customer representative final displacement pressure.
 Perform casing pressure integrity test and record volume.
a) If float valves do not hold pressure and the well is still back-flowing, check floats again.
b) If floats do not hold, pump again returned/received volume; bleed off pressure and recheck float
equipment. If not holding, close valve and WOC.
 Screw off cap from plug container. Drop free-fall opening plug. Close top plunger on the cementing plug
container in customer presence. Make sure that plunger is closed. Fix plunger. Install top closing plug.
Screw on a cap onto plug container.
 Estimate time for free fall plug landing on top of MSIPC/DV tool. Usually the velocity takes 60 – 120
m/min.
 In case a hydraulic MSIPC/DV tool is used and plug is bumped, increase the pressure to inflate the packer
and open DV. Prepare for contingency to open MSIPC/DV tool mechanically.
 After opening MSIPC/DV ports do not remove the cement plug container and circulate cement out as
soon as possible and monitor returns & record the fluid volume received on the surface. Circulate not
less than 2 bottoms up
 Wait on cement based on UCA results (minimum 500 psi compressive strength). Meanwhile continuously
circulate with 4 – 5 bpm (635 – 795 lpm).
 2nd Stage Cement Job Procedure
 Mud Conditioning is important for proper mud displacement YP<18 (lbs/100 ft2), PV<20 (Cp),
FL<15 (cc/30min) are recommended. Insufficient mud conditioning / hole-cleaning may result
in channeling, bridging and poor cement bond.
 Flush treating lines with fresh water, pressure test 2” cement line at 4000psi for 10 min.
 Pump a pre mixed Chemical Wash of 1.00SG ahead of cement slurries with approximate rate 954-
1113 lpm
 Pump a pre mixed Scavenger Spacer of 1.26SG ahead of cement slurries with approximate rate 954-
1113 lpm.
 Mix and pump continuously 1.45 s.g lead 1 cement slurry “on the fly” with approximate rate 795
lpm.
 Mix and pump continuously 1.45 s.g lead 2 cement slurry “on the fly” with approximate rate 795
lpm.
 Mix and pump continuously 1.75 s.g tail cement slurry “batch mixed” with approximate rate 795
lpm.
 Drop top closing plug in customer presence. Make sure that plug was dropped.
 Displace the closing plug with 1.6 m3 of fresh water
 Pump displacement mud. Last 3.18 m3 decrease rate to observe plug bumping pressure.
 Bump closing plug on closing sleeve with ~610-650 psi above plug landing pressure.
78
NP_GX34_MI
 Displacement volume will be calculated before the job according to the actual conditions and
casing tally.
 Close MSIPC/DV by pressure up slowly by steps of 500psi.
 Bleed off pressure and monitor the volume of returned displacement fluid to make sure that
DV ports are closed.
 Conduct casing pressure test according to drilling program.
 Bleed off pressure and measure returned volume.
 WOC based on UCA results.
If the DVT fails to open, refer to the following decision tree to open the DVT mechanically:
15.13 Jetting Wellhead

 The wash ports are clean and unobstructed.
 Make sure that Jetting Tool when working is going to be lined up to a clean water tank.
79
NP_GX34_MI
2. Orient the wash tool with the 4½" IF (NC50) box connection up.
3. M/U a joint of 5" drill pipe to the top of the 13 ⅝" nominal wash tool (Jetting Tool).
of the spool body.
5. RIH with the wash tool, land gently onto the top of the casing hanger and then pick back up and mark
the landing joint as per the procedure before rotating approximately 1".
6. Mark the pipe even with the rig floor. Don’t allow the mark on the pipe to pass below the rig floor.
7. Open the wellhead CHH and UCS side outlet valves.
8. Pump fresh water through the wash tool at the same time rotate and reciprocate the tool very slowly,
taking returns through the open wellhead CHH and UCS side outlet valves.
9. To flush the BOP stack rotate and pull back the tool but do not let it come out of the annular. Rotate and
run back down till clear returns are observed at the outlets but do not go past the mark made
previously.
10. After the returns are clear with no debris, stop rotating and pumping, let fully drain before POOH.
11. Do not pump mud or drill water through the wash tool as this could plug the ports of the wash tool, fill
the pack-off bushing void with solids, or worse case cause problems retrieving the wash tool.
12. Shut down the pumps, drain the stack, close the wellhead CHH and UCS side outlet valves and retrieve
the wash tool.
13. L/D the wash tool per Cameron engineers instruction.
Line up trip tank to the annular valves in the Casing Head. After required WOC fill the annulus between 13 ⅜”
and 9 ⅝” casing strings. Record the volume taken to fill the annulus up to GL. Calculate TOC in 13 ⅜” x 9 ⅝”
annulus based on this volume and report in Daily Drilling Report.

15.14 Installing 9 ⅝” Casing Hanger / Pack-Off

1. Examine the pack-off support bushing, verifying the following:
 The bore is clean and free of debris.
 All threads are clean and undamaged.
 All elastomer seals are in place and undamaged.
 Two alignment pins are installed securely to the top ID of the bushing.
 Wipe the ID of the ‘P’ seals and the OD of the dovetail seals with light oil.
2. Examine the pack-off support bushing running tool, verifying the following:
81
NP_GX34_MI
3. Remove the spools from the one of the side outlets on the Casing/Tubing spool.
4. P/U two stands of 5"HWDP or other tubular with an equivalent weight and hang in the rotary table
(approximately 6,000 lb is required underneath the pack-off support bushing in order to pull the support
bushing into the head).
5. P/U the support bushing running tool and M/U to a joint of 5" drill pipe.
6. M/U the support bushing running tool to the pack-off support bushing with a left hand rotation of
approximately 6 - 7 turns, then back-out the running tool by ⅛ right hand turn for easy retrieval of the
tool. Count and record the number of turns to make up the thread.
7. M/U the entire sub assembly to the two stands of 5" HWDP hung off in the rotary.
of the spool body.
9. Identify the scribe line located within a half moon groove of the support bushing; this is the depth
reference for correct space-out. The exact space-out will be: distance from upper face of the wellhead
UCS flange to the rig floor (measured and recorder earlier) ± 79.27 cm. Mark the support bushing sub
assembly with 1 meter marks starting from the depth reference on the support bushing. The last 1 meter
should be marked out in 10 cm intervals.
10. Lower the assembly through the 13 ⅝" BOP stack and wellhead UCS until the support bushing lands on
the casing hanger.
11. Using the dimension previously recorded verify the pack-off has landed properly.
12. A visual verification confirming that the pack-off support bushing has landed is also available. After
ensuring no pressure has built up, remove the bull plug from the wellhead UCS side outlet valve, and set
aside in a clean environment. By peering into the outlet in the wellhead UCS side outlet valve a half
moon profile with a painted white line should be clearly visible and aligned with the outlet if the pack-off
is properly landed. The Cameron engineer and DSV are to verify correct landing. Once satisfied that the
pack-off is properly landed the bull plug should be re-instated into the wellhead UCS side outlet valve.
13. Fully run in the lower most tie down screws of the wellhead UCS in an alternate cross pattern until
refusal - the lowermost tie down screws protrude ±4.47" from the OD of the spool body when fully run
in.
14. Energize the ‘P’ seals on the wellhead CHH bottom flange as per Cameron engineer’s instructions - this
will involve plastic injection via the two plastic injection ports on the wellhead UCS. The DSV and rig
engineer and Cameroon, should ensure that the ‘P’ seal energization will be tested to (5000 psi).
15. Locate the lower test port (beneath the plastic injection port) on the wellhead UCS, and remove the
fitting. Test the flange connection to the same pressure as that used to energize the ‘P’ seals for 10
minutes with a test pump. Once a satisfactory test has been obtained, bleed off all pressure, remove the
test pump and reinstall the fitting.
16. Release the pack-off running tool by a minimum of 6 right hand turns to release it from the pack-off and
POOH with the running tool. Use the same number of turns to release the running tool as those used to
make-up the tool.
17. Do not remove the pack-off running tool until a good test has been performed on the ‘P’ seals - re-
instating the pack-off running tool into the pack-off can be extremely difficult, and usually results in
galling the threads.
18. Clean, grease and store the running tool per Cameron engineer’s instructions.
DSV and Cameron Engineer are to supervise the whole washout and installation operations. Wellhead
pressure test (with chart recorder) is to be undertaken by Cameron.
19. Change the upper 9 ⅝" casing rams to 4 ½” - 7" Variable Pipe Ram (VPR) and pressure test same.

4. Cameron engineer to wipe the WQ seal of the test plug with a light coat of oil or grease.
5. Ensure the uppermost tie-down screws of the wellhead UCS are fully retracted from the bore - the
uppermost tie-down screws protrude at least 5.13" from the OD of the flange when fully retracted.
6. Open the side outlet valve on the wellhead UCS.
7. Slowly lower the test plug through the 13 ⅝" BOP until it lands on the pack-off bushing support
assembly.
8. Close the 4 ½”-7” VBRs and pressure test the same as follow:
a. Annular and upper VBR with 7” pipe
b. UPR and LPR with 5” pipe
9. Test the 13 ⅝" BOP as per Section 10.4 BOP Equipment Pressure
10. Monitor the open outlet on the wellhead UCS while testing the 13 ⅝" BOP, as this will indicate a bypass
of pressure at the test plug.
11. After a satisfactory test, release trapped pressure and opens the VBRs rams
12. Retrieve the test plug slowly to avoid damage to the seal.
13. Close the side outlet valve on the wellhead UCS.

Mud Weight Plan

Start the 8 ½” section with 1.20 sg, then maintain the weight through Sadi & Tanuma and gradually increase
mud weight step by step by 0.02 sg up to 1.23 sg using sized calcium carbonate as a weighting & bridging
material, it will help to increase the hoop stress of the depleted Mishrif. Evaluate to increase mud weight above
the values mentioned depending on hole conditions (Discuss with office before raising the mud weight).
Always keep moving the pipe to avoid differential sticking at Mishrif, reduce as much as possible connection
times. Record and report any excessive over pull values after connections.
Mud maintenance
The hole will be displaced by new mud after drill out cement using an inhibitive KCl Polymer mud system
Prior to mix the new fluid and before the displacement, ensure all mix lines and pits are cleaned and flushed
with fresh water. Clean under shakers, shaker boxes and flow line. The trough need to be flushed and cleaned
with water, to ensure the fluid for the 8 ½” hole stays clean and do not get contaminated with old fluid.
Use CaCO3 (F/M) or BARACARB as weighting materials, DO NOT USE BARITE in the 8 ½” hole section.
Principal inhibition is achieved by addition of KCl, as source of K+ ions. Cuttings integrity will be achieved
primarily by the use of 5 % KCl and additional inhibition by GEM GP/BXR L at 3%v/v, EZ MUD PHPA at 1.5- 2.85
kg/m3 and the use of BAROTROL PLUS at 8.57 – 11.4 kg/m3. Closely monitor the MBT as it will be the main
indicator of a proper inhibition.
Therefore it is important to constantly check the K+, and treat as required to maintain a constant level. Do not
allow the KCl level to carry on depleting without treatment at any time, it will compromise the hole stability.
Remark: Depending on type of EZ-MUD used:

 If EZ-Mud Liquid: Maintain 1.5 Kg/m3 as minimum EZ-MUD concentration especially while drilling clay.
 If EZ-MUD DP powder: 0.54 Kg/m3 (1.2 ppb)
BAROTROL+, Baroid’s dispersible asphalt will provide extra inhibition to the shale formations. BARATROL +
performs through a physical mechanism by coating or plugging ``sealing`` the micro fractures of shale’s and
limiting pore pressure penetration.
KCL Concentration During drilling operations, shale cuttings should be monitored periodically, consider that if
the concentration of KCl in the system insufficient, shale cuttings will lose their integrity and will be soft and
mushy. KCl 5 % recommended during drilling this section.
Filtrate Control
• Keep tight filtrate API ≤ 3 ml/30min, by using PAC L/DEXTRID LTE, BAROTROL PLUS. Additional treatment can
be done with BDF-690 if required.
• Avoid thick mud cake by controlling fluid loss and solids. Continually refresh BARACARB/CaCO3 for weighting
and bridging.
If caving countered while drilling (Tanuma), use cleaning pills as follows:
90
NP_GX34_MI
 If caving shale observed, add additional shale stabilizer (GEM GP and BAROTROL PLUS) and maintain the
concentration of KCl. Decrease the API Fluid Loss to < 3 ml. Discuss treatment options and further
density increase with Baroid Technical Professional and Well Site Supervisor and Drilling Superintendent.
 If caving starts, addition of KCl will not help. Pump shale sealing materials for sealing the micro fractures
and add BARACARB (5/25).
Is important to constantly check the K+, and treat as required to maintain a constant level. Do not allow the KCl
level to drop without any treatment as it will compromise hole stability.
Once casing on bottom, circulate shakers clean, and then reduce mud rheology (YP) to ∼ 18-19 lbs/100ft2 using
low rheology mud and thinner (THERMATHINE).

18.2 A2 − Connection Best Practices
17 ½” borehole section
After Every Stand is Drilled
 Keeps the string rotating and reciprocating at all times to avoid differential sticking.
 P/U off bottom. If over-pull is more than the value recorded for the previous connection then return
to bottom, and bring rotation back up to the value used for drilling the stand. Circulate for an
additional 5 minutes to further clear the cuttings from around the BHA.
 Drop two “Rapid Sweep” sticks.
 Do not pump any “Bridging Sweeps”.
 Connection make-up
 Start rotating pipe at 10 rpm to break down the gels - this will reduce the pressure surge which
occurs at the time of starting the pumps.
 Stage up the mud pumps in 15 spm (180 lpm) increments every 15 seconds until the required drilling
rate is reached.
 Increase pipe rotation to the required drilling rpm.
12 ¼” borehole section
 Keep the string rotating and reciprocating at all times to avoid differential sticking.
 If the DSV considers it necessary, drop two “Rapid Sweep” sticks, but do not circulate them down.
Sweeps should only be dropped at connections if there is evidence from previous sweeps that they
107
NP_GX34_MI
are effectively cleaning extra cuttings from the well - i.e. additional cuttings are seen at surface after
one full circulation.
 Do not pump any “Bridging Sweeps”.
 If the well is on losses and drilling is progressing with water, it is necessary to pump a 10 m 3 Hi-Vis
pill every connection. Do not pump a Hi-Vis pill unless water is being used to drill ahead.
 Connection make-up:
 Start rotating pipe at 10 rpm to break down the gels - this will reduce the pressure surge which
 Stage up the mud pumps in 15 spm (180 lpm) increments every 15 seconds until the required
drilling rate is reached.
 Increase pipe rotation to the required drilling rpm.
8½" borehole section
 Keep the string rotating and reciprocating at all times to avoid differential sticking.
 Wipe the entire stand up with the drilling flow rate and with 40 rpm.
 With the stand in the up position slowly bring the pipe up to rotation at 60 rpm.
 Ream down to total depth with 60 rpm and the drilling flow rate.
 Maintain rotation and circulation at the drilling flow rate for an additional 7 minutes to clear the
cuttings from around the BHA.
 Pump a “Bridging Sweep” to ensure the mud system is sufficiently prepared for drilling the
challenging Tanuma Shale section. “Bridging Sweeps” should not be Hi-Vis. Refer to the mud
program for details on the bridging sweeps.
 Connection make-up:
 Start rotating pipe at 10 rpm to break down the gels - this will reduce the pressure surge which
 Stage up the mud pumps in 15 spm (180 lpm) increments every 15 seconds until the required
drilling rate is reached.
 Increase pipe rotation to the required drilling rpm.

18.3 A3 − Borehole Cleaning and Tripping Best Practices

17½" and 12¼" borehole sections
Prior to Making a Trip or Wiper Trip
 Pump a minimum of 2 x bottoms up or until the shakers are clean (whichever comes later). Do not
stop the pumps during the bottoms up.
 For the 17½" section pump a 10 m3 Hi-Vis pill.
 Pump at the drilling flow rate.
 Continuously reciprocate over an entire stand length at a rate of 5 minutes up and 5 minutes down
with a smooth and steady action.
 Maintain pipe rotation at 60 rpm while reciprocating.
 In case of a pump failure, maintain circulation at a reduced rate with the remaining pump. After
repairing the pump the sequence should be repeated from the beginning, (i.e. pump a minimum of 2
x bottoms up).
After Cleaning the Borehole
 For the 17½" borehole section spot a 10 m3 Hi-Vis pill.
 For the 12¼" borehole section spot a 10 m3 LCM pill.
 Flow check at TD while maintaining pipe rotation at 20 rpm to avoid differential sticking. The DSV is
to confirm that there is no flow prior to pulling out of the borehole.
 The DSV, Tool Pusher are to ensure that they are on the rig floor while pulling pipe in the open
borehole, or until such at time as they are satisfied that the pipe tripping is under control -
whichever comes last.
 Do not stop or flow check with the BHA across any permeable or depleted formations.
 Ensure there is a single available on the cat walk in case of stuck pipe instances.
 Ensure a trip sheet is completed during the trip. The DSV is to verify and sign the trip sheet.
 Trip back to bottom immediately and circulate if there is any discrepancy with the data recorded on
the trip sheet.
 POOH on elevators wherever possible. Use of the top drive is not acceptable for routine pipe
tripping operations.
 Always be aware of normal borehole drag - this will be available from up weight during previous
connections. Drag is defined as the difference between neutral pipe weight and normal up weight. If
drag increases more than 30 Klb above the normal borehole drag, take the following actions:
 Immediately stop moving the drill string in an upward direction.
 Mark the drill string at the rotary table.
 RIH to the neutral point (free string weight) and continue downwards for an additional 2 meters. The
DSV & rig tool pusher is to be present on the rig floor before continuing.
 Pick up the drill string slowly, being aware at all times of the up weight. Do not exceed 30 Klb (do not
over pull more than 50% the BHA weight in mud) above normal up weight. As long as the drag is less
than 30 Klb above normal drag, continue to pick up until the mark on the drill pipe is visible at the
rotary table.
 If there is significantly less drag (>10 Klb reduction) by the time the mark on the drill pipe is visible at
the rotary table, the pipe can continue to be pulled past the initial tight spot. Continue to POOH on
the elevators as above.
 If there is no improvement in drag by the time the mark on the drill pipe is visible at the rotary table,
do not attempt to work past the tight spot without pumping.
 RIH to neutral point (free string weight) and continue downwards for at least 2 meters, or until a tool
joint is at the rotary table.
 Connect the top-drive system (TDS).
109
NP_GX34_MI
 Start pumping at 20 spm, (250 lpm) and rotate at 20 rpm.

 Work the string up while carefully monitoring torque, drag and pump pressure.
 Do not pull up with drag exceeding 10 Klb.
 If there is any pressure spikes observed (indications of packing off), immediately move the pipe
downwards. Run in one stand and then circulate 2 x bottoms up while reciprocating over the entire
stand length at 5 minutes up and 5 minutes down. Rotate at 60 rpm.
 If there is significantly less drag (> 10 Klb reduction), continue to POOH on the elevators. If there is
no improvement then call the Drilling Superintendent to discuss the next stage.
 If the pipe ever becomes stuck the first action will be to jar the pipe in the opposite direction to that
of becoming stuck.
 If the pipe becomes stuck while pulling up then the action will be to jar down.
 If the pipe becomes stuck while running in then the action will be to jar up.
 Refer Appendix 18.4 A4 - stuck pipe work sheet for detailed guidance on stuck pipe.
8½" borehole section

Prior to Making a Trip or Wiper Trip
 Pump a minimum of 2 x bottoms up or until the shakers are clean (whichever comes later). Do not
stop the pumps during the 2 x bottoms up.
 Rotate the string with 100 rpm and reciprocate one stand during entire circulation
 Pump at highest possible flow rate
 Continuously monitor the shakers for returns and note any change in trend – reduction on size,
volume after each bottoms up. Take pictures with description after each bottoms up and provide to
Drilling Superintendent and Office.
After Cleaning the Borehole
 Flow check at TD while maintaining pipe rotation at 20 rpm to avoid differential sticking. The DSV is
to confirm that there is no flow prior to pulling out of the borehole.
 The DSV, rig tool pusher are to ensure that they are on the rig floor while pulling pipe in the open
borehole, or until such at time as they are satisfied that the pipe tripping is under control -
whichever comes last.
 Do not stop or flow check with the BHA across any permeable or depleted formations, this is
especially important while in the 8-1/2" borehole section through the Mishrif.
 Ensure a trip sheet is completed during the trip. The DSV is to verify and sign the trip sheet.
 Trip back to bottom immediately and circulate if there is any discrepancy with the data recorded on
the trip sheet.
 While tripping in, slow down when crossing Tanuma formation.
 Pump out every 45 min during POOH, field experience observation.
 Ensure there is a single available on the cat walk in case of stuck pipe instances.
 POOH on elevators wherever possible. Use of the top drive is not acceptable for routine pipe
tripping operations.
 Always be aware of normal borehole drag - this will be available from up weight during previous
connections. Drag is defined as the difference between neutral pipe weight and normal up weight. If
drag increases more than 30 Klb above the normal borehole drag, take the following actions:
 Immediately stop moving the drill string in an upward direction.
 Mark the drill string at the rotary table.
 RIH to the neutral point (free string weight) and continue downwards for an additional 2 meters. The
DSV is to be present on the rig floor before continuing.
110
NP_GX34_MI
 Pick up the drill string slowly, being aware at all times of the up weight. Do not exceed 30 Klb (do not
over pull more than 50% the BHA weight in mud) above normal up weight. As long as the drag is less
than 30 Klb above normal drag, continue to pick up until the mark on the drill pipe is visible at the
rotary table.
 If there is significantly less drag (>10 Klb reduction) by the time the mark on the drill pipe is visible at
the rotary table than the pipe can continue to be pulled past the initial tight spot. Continue to POOH
on the elevators as above.
 If there is no improvement in drag by the time the mark on the drill pipe is visible at the rotary table
than do not attempt to work past the tight spot without pumping.
 RIH to neutral point (free string weight) and continue downwards for at least 2 meters, or until a tool
joint is at the rotary table.
 Connect the top drive system (TDS).
 Start pumping at 20 spm, (250 lpm) and rotate at 20 rpm.
 Do not pull up with drag exceeding 10 Klb
 If there is any pressure spikes observed (indications of packing off), immediately move the pipe
downwards. Run in one stand and then circulate 2 x bottoms up while reciprocating over an entire
stand length at 5 minutes up and 5 minutes down. Rotate at 60 rpm.
 If there is no improvement then call the drilling superintendent to discuss the next stage.
 If the pipe ever becomes stuck the first actin will be to jar the pipe in the opposite direction to that
of becoming stuck.
 If the pipe becomes stuck while pulling up then the action will be to jar down.
 If the pipe becomes stuck while running in then the action will be to jar up.

Cement Plug Section

 There are two cement slurries successfully tested to cure losses in Dammam.
Solution Cement Slurry Requirements

No. 1 - Density 1.50 sg (Lower hydrostatic column)
- High Viscosity – (Higher friction pressure inside the drill pipe and into the loss
Position plug 30m zone)
below total losses zone - Max. 500 psi 12 hrs Compressive strength (Lower the chances to accidentally
sidetrack the well).
1.50 sg thixotropic - Lowest possible – including safety margin – thickening time
rheology cement slurry - Suggested (WOC) Wait-on-cement time as per lab test results
No.2 - Density 1.50 sg

- High Viscosity (higher friction pressure inside the drill pipe and into the loss
Position plug 10m zone)
above loss depth - Lowest possible – including safety margin – thickening time
- Suggested (WOC) Wait-on-cement time as per lab test results
1.50 sg thixotropic
rheology cement slurry
 The recommended length of cement plug is 150m above the total losses zone.
 Implement the “actual hydrostatic balance” concept, where the objective is to balance the hydrostatic
column after cement plug with the losses margin. From field experience in wells in the South the fluid
level reaches equilibrium with water between 30 to 50 meters from surface.
 Follow the losses in Dammam strategy flowcharts to decide when a cement plug is required and what
cement slurry volume to use.
Dammam Blind Drilling Procedures
Conduct PJSM with personnel on the rig site discussing the following:
 This blind drilling procedure and roles and responsibilities of each crew member
 The risks of drilling blind and mitigations in place
 Well Control – Ensure sufficient volume of water/mud is available. Keep the borehole full at all
times. In case of water supply shortage stop drilling and pull to 13⅜’’ casing shoe, until sufficient
volume is received. Monitor the well at all times. Control tripping speeds to avoid extra surge
pressures. Confirm that no active Dammam water injectors in offset.
 H2S – There is a low risk of H2S at surface in case of well control. Ensure all H2S sensors and
equipment are checked and calibrated, H2S drill conducted with acceptable response time.
 Drill string stuck – Keep drill string moving at all times. Minimize connection times.
 Poor borehole cleaning – Pump Hi-Vis pills every 10-15m. Continuously monitor torque and drag and
watch for increasing trends. Consider making connection one single off bottom. Record and monitor
torque and drag trends.
 Blind drill ahead to the required depth using the following parameters:
ROP: up to 10 m/h.
Flow rate: 1,500-2,000 lpm.
WOB: 2 - 20 Klb.
RPM: 70-90.
 Pump and spot 5 m3 of Hi-Vis at bottom before connection.
116
NP_GX34_MI
 Pump 5 m3 of Hi-Vis at the middle of each stand.

 Work with two pumps through drill string and pump through annulus with trip tank.
 Keep filling the well with water through the annulus when encountered total losses.
 Continuously monitor: torque and drag trends, SPP. Any change may indicate change in downhole
conditions.
 Circulate 2 bottoms up after drilling to the required depth (Top of Rus).
 Flow check the well.
 POOH to surface.
Dammam Cement Plug Drilling Procedure
 M/U Drilling BHA as per program (if during circulation is observe no losses while spot cement plug
across Dammam).
 RIH with the Drilling BHA. Fill the borehole and attempt to circulate while RIH
 Start washing down from +/- 100m above estimated TOC in case if cement have lifted higher than
planned. Monitor for cement/spacer contaminated returns.
 If obstruction is seen re-confirm hard cement with 10 Klb WOB, continue drilling down to bottom of
the cement plug as per below:
WOB of 1 – 5 Klb
Flow rate: As per motor specifications.
Rotation of 70 - 90 rpm
Limit ROP to 10 m/hr.
 Clean BHA before making connections by pumping 5m3 Hi-Vis pill and min 1.5 annular volume of
BHA. Work the stand 5min up/5min down at 60 rpm.
 Back ream each stand for 10 min.
 Pump 5m3 of Hi-Vis pills every stand. Do not stop the pumps until 1.5 annular volumes to circulate
pill out is pumped.
 Monitor standpipe pressure, torque and drag trends for any signs of changes in downhole
conditions.
 After connection bring up pumps up in increments.
 Check for losses. If no losses are observed then continue drilling 12 ¼” borehole section TD as per
the plan.
 If the well still has losses then refer to Dammam Loss Circulation Decision Tree.

NP_GX34_MI
18.8 A7 − Hartha Cement Plug Considerations

 POOH drilling BHA to surface.
 RIH OEDP to the TD.
 Use a conventional high rheology 1.55 s.g when losses >= 10 m3/hr and plug of 1.62 s.g when losses
< 10 m3/hr). No need to use thixotropic cement slurry. Consider using a Flo-Chek System additive as
a conditioning flush.
 Length of cement plug = 160 m (assuming loss zone at bottom).
 Volume of cement slurry = hole size (bit size) + 100% Excess.
 Thickening time of cement slurry as short as practically possible (include safety factor).
 Use max 5 bbl under displacement for the DP volume.
 Pump cement plug across Hartha from bottom.
 POOH at normal speed (not slowly) to 150 m above theoretical TOC including excess cement volume.
 Pump OEDP volume.
 POOH to surface.
 WOC till surface samples get hard, follow cement program. Rebuild the mud volumes at surface
while WOC.
 During WOC, record static loss rates. If no losses observed.
 RIH with cleanout BHA and start washing down +/- 100 m above expected TOC.
 Tag the cement with +/-5 Klb. Watch for SPP pressure indication as well.
 Establish dynamic and static loss rates. Depending on the loss rates and TOC tagged decision may be
made to spot second cement plug or to continue with cleanout cement.

18.9 A8 − Rig-Site Guidelines for Cleaning and Visual Inspection of Casing/Tubing Threads
1. REMOVAL OF THREAD PROTECTORS:

 Thread protectors are to be removed, cleaned and stacked in a safe, clean space away from the
work area. The thread protectors shall be thoroughly cleaned and dried before they are installed
on the pipe, both acceptable and rejected lengths.
 The pipe should never be loaded, unloaded or moved to another rack without thread protectors
installed.
2. FULL LENGTH DRIFT (FLD):

 The pipe should be drifted before cleaning the threads because debris will get on the connector
during the drifting operation. Measure the drift diameter and length to ensure it is in accordance
with API Specification 5CT or special rig requirements.
3. CONNECTION CLEANING:
 Connection should be cleaned with a pressure washer using fresh soapy water taking extreme
care to avoid damaging threads, until all dope is removed. Using salt water for cleaning
connection is not acceptable. This is the ROO preferred method.
 If the pressure washer is not available the threads re to be cleaned manually with nylon brushes
(Never use wire brushes) using diesel to remove the storage compound and then cleaned again
with soapy water (dish detergent works well). The thread shall be thoroughly cleaned and dried
prior to inspection.
 A drip pan needs to be placed under the threads being cleaned with diesel. A metal or plastic
drum cut in half is best for drip pan.
 After the Visual Thread Inspection (VTI) is completed and measured for pipe tally, apply API
modified thread compound (pipe dope not drill pipe grease) and install the protectors’ hand
tight.
 During high winds with sand follow this procedure after the Visual Thread Inspection: clean
threads again with soapy water, then apply API modified and install the protector. Do this
with each pin and box thread individually so that sand will not get in the threads.
4. RUNNING CASING / TUBING: The protectors are to remain on the thread until the make-up begins.
 Casing – just before running start, remove the box protectors only before moving to the rig floor
and remove the pin protectors on the rig floor. The white chemical bags are good to put the pin
protector in to keep the rig floor organized.
 Tubing – the box and pin protector are to remain on the tubing until it is moved to the rig floor
Again the white chemical bags are good to put the protectors in to keep the rig floor organized.
5. VISUAL THREAD INSPECTION (VTI):

The Visual Thread Inspection (VTI) should to be performed by a qualified thread inspector.
BTC THREADS: Slowly roll each joint at least one full revolution while examining the threads. Verify is a
Triangle Stamp at the end of the pin threads of each joint which necessary for connection make-up when
running.
When inspection the pin and box end connections check for the following:
 Dents, dings r mashed caused by impact
120
NP_GX34_MI
 Galling caused by a poor make-up

 Rust, Corrosion or Pitting caused by the environment
VAM TOP THREADS do not serve as a seal; they are only used as connection elements, and therefore
corrosion on both the male and female threads are rarely a reason for rejection. It is possible to accept a
degree of corrosion on the threads. However, surface or flash rust may be removed by brushing prior to
any lubricant being applied. When found to be corroded to the point where material loss is found it is
necessary to remove the joint from service.
VAM TOP SEAL AREA appears as small chamfer on the pin end and back of the coupling. No mechanical
damage can be accepted on the seal itself, which is the section with a 20% taper between the cylindrical
flank and the radius between the seal and the shoulder.

WELL CONTROL ACTION PLAN

 Have safety stabbing valves with the necessary crossovers on the rig floor at all times. The DSV
should ensure that the valves are in operating condition and should be pressure tested during
routine BOP tests. A crossover should be available for every size and connection of pipe used on this
well.
 Record pipe displacements on all trips using the trip tank. Report calculated & actual fill-up volumes
on the morning report.
 While drilling 8 ½” hole, prepare Kill Sheet every morning and frequently update it during whole 8 ½”
section.
Kill rates and circulating pressures should be taken at the following times:
 SCR should be performed every 150m drilled as per bridging document
 When on bottom with a new bit after setting the 9 ⅝” casing.
 When the mud weight changes and each tour change after setting the 9⅝" casing, kill rates should
be approximately one half of the normal circulating rates. Report these rates and pressures on the
morning report.
 All gas encountered while drilling should be checked for the presence of H2S and safety measures
taken immediately, if required. ALL GAS IS CONSIDERED SOUR UNTIL PROVEN OTHERWISE!

18.19 A15 − FIT Requirements

This section is a summary of the FIT guidelines.
Risk Assessment
Operations Risks Mitigation

Pressure testing Formation is fractured. - Check the formation fracture pressure of the offset
wells before testing.
- Calibrate the pressure gauge.
- Good communication between the Driller and
Cement pump operator.
Pressure testing Leakage well before pre-defined - Check line-up from the cement unit to the kill line
pressure has reached and there are no loss connections.
Pressure testing Wrong test data - Use cement pump. Rig pumps are not suitable for
conducting leak-off tests.
- Calibrated pressure gauges must be used, covering
various pressure ranges and preferably mounted on
a special manifold.
Preparations
1. Ensure that there is no exposed weak formation below the shoe which has low leak-off pressure.
2. Graph casing pressure test versus volume pumped and use as a baseline for the FIT test. See FIT/LOT sample
chart below.
Sample FIT/LOT Chart
180
NP_GX34_MI
Sequence of FIT Operations
1. Drill out casing shoe and 3 meter new formation. The ROO Wellsite Geologist should: confirm 3m of new
formation has been drilled.
2. Circulate hole clean and condition the mud to get a homogeneous mud in the hole, break the gel
strength and build up a filter cake.
3. Confirm and record even mud weight in/out is in same weight.
4. Pull the string inside casing shoe.
5. Hold pre-job meeting with involved personnel.
6. Rig up the cement unit line.
7. Line the cement unit to kill line and drill string using the cement (Y-connection).
8. Purge lines of air.
9. Pressure test the lines to 1,500 psi.
10. Open the HCR valve on the choke line to monitor the WHP pressure via mud logging unit. Confirm mud
logging is recording data every 1 second.
11. Ensure the remote-controlled choke and the valve immediately upstream from the choke is closed.
12. Ensure that there is a gauge downstream of the cement unit valve that will isolate the cement unit.
13. Space out and close the pipe rams around the drill pipe.
14. Update the following procedure using the actual formation tops and the actual mud density prior to the
FIT job.
15. Pump slowly maintaining a constant pumping rate at 40 lpm (0.25 bbl/min)
16. Record and plot pressure every 40 liters (0.25 bbl) using the cement unit pressure.
As pointed in “Reference Lines on FIT Chart” section below, stop the test if the plots indicate that pressure drop
below the maximum volume line from the beginning. It may be due to pump pressure being low and formation
being permeable. In this case stop the pumps and bleed off the pressure. Repeat the test using faster pump rate.
Do not exceed the 160 lpm (1 bbl/min) rate.
17. Continue this procedure until desired EMW has been achieved.
18. Shut in the well ensuring valve isolate the pump to avoid bleed back and keep it shut for 30 min to verify
that a constant pressure has been obtained.
19. Bleed off the pressure and record and report in the DDR the total volume pumped & returned to cement
unit at the end of the test.
In case if formation leaks off contact ROO office to discuss the results. See the example of LOT indicating
formation leak off shown on the sample chart above. If test is anomalous due to potential air in the system or
pump rate (as per “Reference Lines on FIT Chart” section below), bleed back, and attempt to do the second test.
Contact ROO office if the second test shows the same anomaly.
20. Bleed off the pressure back to the tank of the cement unit, note and record the volume recovered,
report same in DDR.
21. Open the valve immediately upstream from the choke and open the choke. Open the pipe rams, close
the HCR and realign the choke manifold.
