START UP PROCEDURE

1. Bring Pumps up to Kill Speed holding CASING PRESSURE constant2. For deep water floater application, Casing Pressure may requireto be lowered during start up by an amount equal to ChokeLine Friction Loss

DRILLERS METHOD

1ST circulation

Start up- bring pumps up to sped holding casing pressure constant.Once up to speed look at drill pipe pressure and hold this constantfor one complete circulation2 ND circulationStart up- bring pumps up to sped holding casing pressure constant.Once up to speed, continue to hold casing pressure constant until kill mud is at the bitAt this point, switch over to drill pipe pressure and hold constant until kill mud reaches surface.

Note: As the Annulus may not be clean after 1st Circulation, it si recommended that the procedurefor wait and Weight be used in place of 2nd Circulation.

WAIT AND WEIGHT METHOD

START Up - bring pumps up to sped holding casing pressure constantOnce up to speedlook at drill pipe. This should red approximately ICP*Allow drill pipe pressure to fall to FCP in accordance with step down chart or graphWith kill mud at bit hold drill pipe pressure at FCP until kill mud reaches surface.

* If drill pipe pressure is in excess of 100 psi + or -, then redo step down chart based onnew ICP and FCP without shuting down.

Continue stripping in the hole holding casing pressure constant at Pchoke1 this willrequire mud to be bled from the well.

The amount of mud gained in the trip Tank over and above the drill pipe closed end displacement (V1) will be the affect of gasexpansion. ( Some rigs have a Stripping Tank to allow for bleed-off of V1 every stand)
