SNUBBING UNIT (HR 150 K)

The purpose of subbing unit is to achieve the handling of tubing or macaroni through a production tubing this type of technique allow the carrying out of several different operation, such as : (General performed in T.I.) • Sand washing • Fishing and milling job • Gas lift macaroni installation • Well start - up • Killing well • Injectivity test • Squeeze cementing • Circulating out of mud • Drill out of cement (plug cement) The technique of running on or out a pipe under pressure is more economical by without first killing the well than to kill it. This typical operation avoid damaging the production zone by penetration of mud / liquid into the formation.

SAFETY CONSIDERATION

I. SAFETY RULES 1. Personal climbing to or working at a height from which a

fall could be dangerous, should wear safety hardness or other equivalent equipment.

2. The work basket should be equipped with an emergency

escape system which will enable personal to reach the ground at some distance from the well but not at a dangerous speed. Periodic escape routes should be simple.

3. If snubbing unit is rigged up on a well, where stripper only is being used, each BOP should be opened / closed at least once every three days to prevent corrosion or formation of deposits around the rams.

4. In a gas well situation, the following additional equipment

is highly recommended : a. Guide tubes for all the necessary size if workstring

to prevent buckling during the light phase. b. Injection of grease between the 2 rubbers of the

stripping bowl lubricates the workstring allows to work in a safer way and reduces the time spent in snubbing with the ram to ram technique. There must be a hole open between lower stripper and BOP to prevent pressure build up at stripper.

c. A choke (usually 1/4") is to be fitted in equalizing loop to reduce the stress encountered during the operation.

d. All BOP wing valves should be doubled, the second ones is for back up.

e. BOP stack must include shear and blind rams.

5

5. If a job cannot be terminated before night, the following procedure should be implemented to keep the snubbing unit and well "safe" overnight. a. Positive mechanical locking of the BOP rams after

they have been closed hydraulically. b. Bleed off pressure between BOP's. c. Bleed off pressure from stripper bowl only the

stripping BOP will be closed, locked and bled off as above. The safety BOP will only be used in case of a leak through the stripping BOP.

d. Close all slips bowl and mechanically lock using an appropriate system.

6. Periodically check and grease (special bitumen grease)

the cables. 7. Never use stripper rubber when using stripping BOP's.

II. PRE JOB SAFETY RULES 1. Several calculations are required to confirm that all

equipment for the constraints they will be exposed ti namely : - The max snubbing force required - The depth of the neutral point - The critical buckling load of the work string - The regulated hydraulic pressure settings for the

jack

2. Check the slip bowls by submitting a joint of tubing to 50,000 lbs traction and 250,000 lbs compression using the guide tubes during the compression check.

3. Run a pressure test on each BOP at working pressure. 4. Check the communication system.

6

Page 5: Snubbing

III. SAFETY RULES DURING THE JOB

1. Correct functioning of all emergency engine stop systems

either triggered manually or by a gas, smoke or heat detection should be checked periodically.

2. The crane should not be used when work string is in

motion during snubbing or tripping under pressure operations.

3. A tubing safety valve equipped with its cross - over if

required should be within the reach of personal on the work basket and be ready to be placed on the tubing in the case of a blow out.

This valve should always be in the open position when not in use.

IV. IN CASE OF GAS LEAK (when the alarm in the engine room is heard and gas is shouted). 1. Switch off all electrical equipments on deck and engines

from black shut down on switch board located in the supervisor office.

2. Secure well by stabbing the safety valve and close it, then

close the safety ram : • if the leak comes from the surface line. 3. Stop the leak by closing the appropriate valve • if the leak by closing the appropriate valve. 4. Close the second safety ram • if the work string is leaking and this situation may

endanger rapidely to the life of the working team. 5. Close the shear rams. 6. Close the x-mastree valves.

7

Note : The shear rams are not designed to seal and their use is aimed at the closing of the well at x-mastree level. It is the ultimate step.

V. IN CASE OF FIRE

(when the alarm in the engine room is heard and fire is shouted). 1. Take out fire nozzle and fire hoses from box, connect

noses to nearest fire line, then open fire line valves and spray on to burning object. Note : do not use water to fight electrical fire.

2. At the same time, secure the well by stabbing the safety valve and close if then close BOP's.

3. In form well base radio.

4. Connect fire hose to foam maker unit, open tutogen drum

and insert 1" hose from foam branch into tutogen drum open fire hydrant valve and regulate foam water mixture according by adjusting black - knot on foam branch.

Note : - Any body seeing fire must report to snubbing

superintendent. - Fire drills should be performed every month.

RIG UP PROCEDURE FOR SNUBBING

I. PREPARATION

During moving to new location •) Change BOP rams to new location •) Prepare and check rams it necessary •) Prepare pipe tally •) The snubbing rig up check list is filled during the rig up.

II. RIG UP PROCEDURE

1. Call the well base operator to shut in the well (both string) bleed off x-mastree top caps and surface lines to the burn pit.

2. Locate the snubbing barge about one meter away from

the platform, pipe rack facing the x-mastree.

3. Remove the wire line gin pole.

4. Rig down the surface equipment if necessary. •) Bleed off control line to close the DHSV •) Bleed off the well above the DHSV (on burn pit) •) Disconnect the gas line (if any) •) Disconnect the top cap flange (or the hanger flange

if any, low torque top valve in close position) •) For gas lift surface equipment

•) Lift the hanger flange and the top valve assy with the crane until the 6 locator comes in contact with the hanger flange.

(Note : beware do not exceed 1500 lbs pulling capacity, check all valve is open position).

•) Close the upper master valve •) Bleed off x-mastree pressure if any •) Disconnect the adaptor flange and remove all

surface equipment.

35

5. Pick up BOP stack and set on well. Install the four legs to secure the BOP stack and then make up the BOP stack. Use water pass to check vertically of stack. NOTE : - Clean the groove at ring basket - For dual x-mastree, use half moon

flange adaptor

6. Install the jack assembly and basket package on the top of BOP stack. Secure with sling connected to the platform pad eyes, assuming that stack up is vertical and equipped with guide tubes.

7. Insure the make up is perfectly done.

8. Connect hydraulic hoses, install ladders.

9. Rig up the manifold and the lines. 10. Install escape lines.

11. Raises the gin pole in the basket.

NOTE : •) In case of wireline operation with the

snubbing unit : - connect the wireline adapter to the

stripper bowl, passing thru the top slip and snub.

- carry out a standard wireline rig up on this adapter.

- estimate the correction factor for the weight indicator as the angle of the wire at the hay pulley should not be 900.

•) In case of electric logging with the snubbing unit : - carry out a similar procedure above. - be sure the crane boom is long enough

to hold the top pulley above the lubricator (top pulley independent of the lubricator and injection head)

36

4. WEAR BUSHING

41 RUNNING / PULLING / W/BUSHING BY WIRE LINE 1. Wear bushing are set and retrieved like a standard DHSV

separation sleeve, using a GS pulling / running tool. 2. Applied pressure thru hydraulic control line for :

a). Help the latching and to keep the wear bushing in place). b). Control that the wear bushing remains in place throughout

the whole snubbing operation and mostly during pulling out.

NOTE : for size 2.81, 1000 psi is the max pressure to be applied

as the wear busing has a wall thickness lower than a separation sleeve. There fore there is a risk of collapse if too much pressure is applied.

42

It is used to easier run the macaroni string into the well. It is located at the bottom of macaroni string.

INTERNAL F/NECK NO. GO

U-PACKING UNIT

It is used to protect the seal of Down Hole Safety Nipple. It is set at safety nipple by ; 1. Wire line before running

the macaroni string when the max outside diameter of the macaroni string can pass through the wear bushing.

CROSSING BALANCE POINT

Crossing the balance point refers to moving pipe either into or out of a well at the point where the pipe goes from pipe light to pipe heavy or vice versa. Calculate the balance point in pipe footage by multi plying cross sectional area by well pressure, the weight of pipe which equals this valve must then be converted to footage. However several variables are involved in determining the point at which snubs can be changed to slips. These variables include : hydraulic pressure on BOP's (changing friction characteristics), friction of rams and / or stripper rubber, weight of fluid in work string and tubing as well as the difference in the coefficient of sliding friction vs static friction. When stripping through stripper rubber (or annular BOP's) the difference between O.D of tool joint and O.D of pipe can create difficulty. The variable causing the most problems is difference caused by sliding vs static friction. It takes more force to start pipe moving (static friction) then it does to keep pipe moving (sliding friction). Therefore, if snubs are changed over to slips prematurely it may be difficult to over come the static friction to get the pipe moving. A. Procedure snubbing in hole when pipe light to pipe heavy

1. Calculate number of joints to reach the balance point. 2. Snub in hole to calculated point. Do not fill last 30 joints. 3. Continue snubbing pipe, checking each joint for ability to

pick up the pipe with snubs. 4. Allow or cause pressure to build up on well (if possible) by

several hundred psi. 5. Continue snubbing into hole slowly until pipe starts to slips

to control pipe movement. 6. Bleed pressure back down to original well pressure. 7. Fill macaroni with fluid. 8. Change over form subs to slips and continue into hole with

pipe heavy.

43 B. Procedure snubbing out of hole when pipe heavy to pipe light.

1. Calculate number of joints needed to be snubbed out of hole to reach the balance point.

2. Pull pipe with slips until calculated number of joint are out of hole.

3. Continue pulling pipe with slips slowly, checking each joint with the travelling slips to determine if pipe can be moved down hole.

NOTE : Most hydraulically operated slips and snubbers will hold several hundred pounds of pipe backwards. This holding ability can be temporarily increased by increasing hydraulic pressure.

Once the balance point is crossed, hydraulic pressure should be lowered to its normal pressure.

- if possible flow the well to allow more pipe to be pulled in the heavy condition.

- continue pulling pipe until pipe starts to slip thru the travelling slips using the stationary snubs to control pipe movement.

NOTE : Remember / tool joints are more difficult to pull thru stripper

rubbers (or annular BOP's) than the pipe body, pull as much pipe as possible.

- change over from slips to snubs (increased slip pressure may still be temporary required)

- increase well pressure by several hundred psi (if possible).

- snub out of hole. - bleed well pressure back down to normal after pipe

snubs strongly.

FISHING OPERATION

1. SELECTION OF FISHING TOOL It is indispensable to know as accurately as possible : 1. The fish : depth, composite, dimensions, weight. 2. The string : were the fish is lost composition, dimension, deviation of the

well. But obviously the most important thing is to know the dimensions the shape, the position of the fish head. To have these datas three ways can be followed 1. Consult the report 2. A impression block 3. When it is possible it can be very useful to get similar

equipment than these one broker / stuck in the hole. After all the datas are completed, it can be useful to draw, to scale the fish head in the position it has inside the tubing.

2. SELECTION OF FISHING STRING a). Macaroni ; stronger is better b). BHA ; - use safety joint especially when running

non releasing fishing tool. - a bumper sub will be run in all cases,

even with an hyd. jar.

3. SURFACE EQUIPMENT The BOP will be equipped with the proper rams to close on the fishing string and on the fish (long fish).

4. PREPARATION FISHING STRING All fishing equipment must be in perfect condition and tested if possible. All dimension must be reported on a chart.

45

Do not forget the following points a). On overshot - Distance between guide and grapple - Length of grapple. - Distance between guide and packer - Distance between guide and top sub.

b). On Releasing Spear - Distance between bottom nut and grapple - Length of grapple.

- Distance between bottom nut and top sub.

c). On Safety Joint - Number of turns to unscrew it.

d). On Bumper Sub, Jar - Stroke

5. FISHING - Slow down and run carefully few joints before to reach the

supposed depth of the fish. - Few meters above the fish rate

• Pulling weight • Running weight • Pressure at a given pumping rate

- Fishing Operation • In doubt do not hesitate to consult the instruction manual

of the concerned tools. • Mark on the string for a given overpull • Increase the overpull progressively.

6. PULLING THE FISH Pull slowly and smoothly especially when landing on slips.

47 BOWEN SAFETY JOINTS The safety is a two - piece special connection that can be located at any desired point a string of pipe. It will withstand all of the normal operations of the string, transmit full torque in either direction or, at the will of the operator. It can be easily released to salvage all of that portion of the string above it. Made up at any desired point in a drilling fishing, testing, wash over or tubing string. It operates as a unit un affected by vibration inertia of the bit or drill collars, or while rotating out of the well.

No movement can occur between one two sections of the safety joint nor can it be released without a specific mechanical procedure.

To release the safety joint in the hole, rotate the string to the left, not exceeding s safe left hand torque load depending on depth and mechanical conditions.

Maintaining torque, lower the string on the joint until it breaks. Maintain normal string weight on the joint while unscrewing it. To re-engage the joint after its release, lower the string until the two sections of the joint make contact. Apply one point of weight ; rotate to left one or two turns, then rotate to the right until torque increase proves joint engagement. LOCATE SAFETY JOINT 1. In drilling strings : It is located for enough above the drill

collars to prevent compression loading and to avoid sticky and pin connections with the OD and ID corresponding to the drill pipe tool joints.

2. In fishing string : It is located immediately above the

grappling or fishing tool and below any accesorry tool such as jars or bumper subs.

3. In washover string : It is located between the drill pipe and

the washover string. Washover joints are provided with a drill pipe box connection and washover pin connection. Diameters conform to washover pin connection. Diameters conform to washover pipe.

49 BOWEN OIL JARS The type Z Bowen Oil Jars is a straight - pull operated jar which employs a patented combination of proven principles of hydraulics an mechanics. This jar is unique in design and operation and is simple to assemble and easy to operate. No setting or adjustment is required before going in the hole or after the fish has been engaged. As pull is applied to the jar fluid is metered from one cavity to another through this piston assembly. By being force through a restricted passage, the fluid is retarded in such a manner that the stroke is delayed until the operator has ample time to take the necessary stretch in the running string (and intensifier, when it is used) to strike a blow of given impact. It is use for fishing operation, formation testing and coring.

50

Page 27: Snubbing

BUMPER SUBS It was design to provide a relatively in expensive yet durable bumper sub for use in all fishing operations and used as a feed off tool when using the predetermined weight method to cut tubing or casing. The Bowen Fishing Bumper Sub is simple yet rugged. It is composed only primary parts and a double seal assembly. The hexagon - shape mandrel slides in a similar shaped mandrel body to provide continue torque capability. The standard 20" stroke of these tolls is optimum for most purpose. Full circulation may be maintained through the bores of the tolls all times. Bumper subs are suited for all fishing operations, It will bump down jar up, or help disengage a fish after retrieved.

51 BOWEN JAR INTENSIFIERS It is used to supply acceleration to the upper end of the jar and lower portion of the work string during the jarring stroke. It is run in conjunction with the hydraulic jar. The intensifier is essentially a fluid spring which stores energy when a strain B pulled on the running string. When the strain is removed by the free stroke of the jar, this stored energy is releasing, accelerating the drill collars and jar end upward until a blow of high impact is struck. A secondary advantage of the too is its ability to absorb much of the shock of the rebounding string after the jarring stroke, protection tools from damage. Operation of the tool is very simple, requiring only straight pull, as rapidly or as slowly as required by the operation.

CIRCULATING OPERATION

CIRCULATION PROCEDURE 1. Prepare the bottom hole assembly as per drawing. 2. Install the stripper rubber in the stripper bowl. 3. RIH the mule shoe just above the swab valve close slibs and

scrubs. Test BPV's at 3000 psi. 4. Open slowly the x-mas tree swab valve and RIH. 5. Every 40 joints of macaroni pump the internal vol. Of macaroni

string to make sure BPV do not plug. 6. When the depth is reached, close BOP no. 1 connect stabbing

valve on macaroni and stand pipe to stabbing valve. Start circulation it can be necessary to choke the return if there is pressure in the well. Never make the return to the barge if gas or oil are coming out of the well but flow to burn pit, except if an efficient separator or scrubber is available.

7. When the circulation is completed. Open BOP no. 1 and POOH. NOTE : - check amount of drill water or diesel oil in snubbing

barge as program request.

WELL START UP

PURPOSE Well start up program is used to start the well flow by injecting the gas thru the macaroni string which will reduce the hydro static column of liquid in tubing to achieve reservoir pressure is greater than hydrostatic column. PROCEDURE - If a wire line job is necessary (DHSV to be retrieve, zone change,

fluid level check, etc) install the wire line adaptor and perform the wire line job the remove the wire line adaptor.

- Well start up : - Prepare the BHA as per drawing - Install the stripper rubber in stripper bowl. - RIH the mule shoe just above the swab valve, close slips and

snubs and BOP no. 1 Test BPV's at 3000 psi - Open slowly the x-mas tree swab valve and RIH at 300 m. - Every 40 joints of pump the internal volume mac. String to

avoid plugging at BPV. NOTE : •) BPV should also test or surface at 3000 psi •) Mac. pipe should flush with the water •) Function test SDV and anchor the inject line.

- Close the BOP no.1, connect the stabbing valve, on the macaroni and the stand pipe to stabbing valve with rig grade line.

- Test the gas injection line at the maximum gas pressure available.

- Bleed off the pressure, open the well to the burn pit or test barge and start the gas injection.

NOTE : Record kick off pressure, rate of gas and WHFC & WHFT.

- If the well doesn't flow by it self, close the gas injection, bleed off the macaroni and RIH 200 m deeper.

- Start again the gas injection. - If the well is still not flowing by it self RIH deeper and proceed

as per above steps. - hen the well cam flow by it self, stop the gas injection bleed off

the macaroni. - Open BOP no. 1 and POOH macaroni through the stripper

bowl. - When the mule shoe is just above the swab valve, close it and

bleed off pressure above it. - Remove the equipment. NOTE : The starting up of gas well is more oritical, Particularly

care must be taken to avoid the well starting strongly. After calculation of the teoritical starting point, if no

success R/H the string only 50 m deeper each time. Adjustable choke should be used to control any

damage line.

57

CEMENTATION

I. GENERAL

This S.I. gives example of general procedures to perform a cementation through a macaroni string. However as very LWO is a special case due to the characteristic of the well and of the zone, a special procedure is written every time in the LWO program. These procedures may be applied with or without squeeze in perforation. 1. Run of an open ended macaroni string and spot a

balanced cement plug. This is performed below LS or SS tail pipe.

2. Run of a seal assembly with macaroni in an existing seal bore of the completion (SSD, nipple), the cement plug may be balanced with a spacer of the specific gravity to allow easy access below.

3. Installation of tubing stop + pack off assy and check valve by wire line, then run a macaroni stringer. Therefore when cement is not displaced in balance, the only way to know where is the cement is to check on the volume returned from the well (providing there is no fluid loss in formation).

4. After cement squeeze, reserve circulation can be performed only if a sufficient squeeze off pressure have been reached. This is to prevent over squeeze of cement thus isolation failure. A difference of 1000 psi, between squeeze off pressure and reverse circulation, pressure is required to safely perform reverse circulation. Between 500 to 1000 psi difference, reverse circulation can still be performed by reducing the pump rate. Below 500 psi difference, no reverse circulation should be performed unless in case of emergency the macaroni will then be cleaned on the barge by flushing with water hose.

58

Page 31: Snubbing

This is performed in tubing when no lower access is needed. Notes : - In procedure 2 & 3 tubing punchers may be

needed to circulate cement in the interval to be isolated.

- The specific gravity of the cement is usually 1.70 gr/cc.

II. PROCEDURE

1. Before starting this job, the wire line must check if the tubing is free of leaks above the zone to cemented, in order to know if reverse circulation can be performed.

2. Prepare BHA 3. Bleed of f the well to the burn pit and kill if necessary. 4. Open the x-mas tree swab valve and RIH macaroni. 5. Check circulation, record parameters. 6. Engage the landing shoe in the nipple and slack off 3000

lbs on it. Close the BOP no. 1 and pressurize the annulus macaroni tubing to check the sealing of the landing shoe.

7. Perform an injectivity test. 8. Of ok, mix the cement slurry. 9. Strip to pull out cement 1 meter. 10. Displace the cement slurry in the macaroni, check return

of the gauge tank. 11. Before the cement reach the bottom of macaroni close

return valve then string in the seal bore and slack 3K lbs. 12. Squeeze cement on the formation (not always required). 13. Pull out macaroni 1 meter and make the reverse

circulation to clear the macaroni from the cement excess (return to the burn bit).

14. An acid flush of 2 bbls of 7.5% HCl may be circulated to the end of macaroni then reverse circulated to remove cement scale.

15. POOH macaroni string.

59 NOTES : - Few days before the job a test will be done to adjust the

concentration of additives mainly retarder, required to get the rhology parameter and thickening time according to the quality of the cement and the type of the type of job to be performed,

Thickening time is usually set between 5 to 7 hours. When the cement slurry is prepared for the job, keep some

samples to check the thickening time. - When cement slurry is pumped and displaced in the macaroni

string. It will go down faster than the pumping rate due to its higher density compared with water.

- To be able to perform reverse circulation no BPV is run the macaroni string.

Therefore if it is necessary to plug the macaroni at the bottom, a plug can be pumped down to the nipple seat.
