Standard Operating Procedure – Running Casing with CRT

1. Purpose The common thread throughout the SOP and HWD Policies and Procedures in general is the identification of responsibilities. This manual is intended to clearly and concisely identify the steps required by employees to complete any given operation in a manner that is consistent with Horizontal Well Drillers standards. It will document progressive steps required in sequence that are to be followed, an authorizing company department or position, and an author that is to be consulted if there are questions in any portion of the SOP standards.

2. Scope RIG PERSONNEL

3. Prerequisites Personnel are required to wear proper personal protective equipment, follow job safety rules, and have the appropriate experience and certifications to carry out their job functions satisfactorily.

4. Responsibilities Tool pusher will be held accountable for enforcement and supervision of the procedure. Operator/Driller will be directly responsible for the operation and to complete the operation of running casing with CRT to the below procedure. It is ultimately the Tool pushers and the Drillers responsibly to ensure that the Pipe handler is properly aligned with the CRT tool to prevent severe damage to the CRT tool.

5. Procedure

NOTE: Removing the Wear Bushing-Prior to running casing the following operation must take place: 1. Immediately after removing and laying down BHA, prepare a joint of drill pipe in pipe handler.

2. Blind should be closed immediately after BHA was laid down.

3. Ensure that a hole cover is placed over the slip hole.

4. Utilizing the winch line, pick up wear bushing puller and place the lifting sub in the iron roughneck.

5. Proceed by bringing up Pipe Handler and making up a joint of drill pipe to Top Drive

6. Lay down the Pipe Handler once the joint is made up to the Wear Bushing.

7. Make up drill pipe to the Wear Bushing Puller to the specified torque.

8. Release clamps on Iron Roughneck and move the Iron Roughneck back.

9. Pick up Top Drive so that it is high enough and out of the way.

10. Remove hole cover and pull inner bushings.

11. Ensure the floor is clear and open the blinds.

12. Proceed by having the hands manually guide the pipe down the stack until the Driller sees weight fall off on indicator.

13. Proceed by turning it slowly to the right until the puller falls into the wear bushing and then turn it right until it locks into place.

14. Pick up with the top drive while watching the weight indicator and having the hands manually guide the pipe and wear bushing out of the hole.

15. Close the blinds, install inner bushings, and install the hole cover. Horizontal Well Drillers SOP #: 02.60

16. Use the Iron Roughneck and break out the Wear Bushing Puller.

17. Use lifting sub and winch line to move Wear Bushing Puller. Undo Iron Roughneck and put the Wear Bushing Puller away in designated location.

18. Bring Pipe Handler up and lay the joint down.

Running Casing with CRT:

1. Operator will pick up the top-drive and CRT tool above the pipe-handler and the joint of casing. 2. The pipe-handler operator will then bring the pipe-handler up into the center of the CRT tool. 3. At this point, it is imperative that the Driller and the Tool pusher verify that the Pipe handler is properly aligned with the CRT tool. If proper alignment is NOT accomplished the operation MUST be stopped and the Pipe handler re-aligned to the proper position. If proper alignment is NOT accomplished severe damage will occur to the CRT tool. 4. For the duration of running casing, if at ANY point a joint of casing and the CRT tool do not align properly with the Pipe handler, the operation must be stopped and proper alignment established. NOTE: Driller must ensure proper alignment on EVERY joint of casing being run. 5. Operator will set CRT tool into the casing all the way to the buffer of the tool. 6. The operator shall NOT turn the CRT tool to the right at any time unless the packer is properly installed in the box on the joint of casing, this can cause the packer to set prematurely and cause major damage to CRT tool. 7. Operator will rotate slowly (clockwise), while at the same time, picking up the CRT tool about 6 to 8 inches, locking CRT tool with the casing. 8. Operator and pipe-handler operator will then visually and verbally confirm that a good connection has been made, at which point the pipe-handler operator will unclamp and lower the pipe handler to its down and resting position. 9. Operator will lower the joint of casing so that it is at a workable height to install the float shoe 10. Casing hand will lock slips on the float shoe and rig operator will torque the float shoe to the recommended specification. 11. Operator will pick up the casing, personnel will pull slips and rig operator will start into the hole with the casing. 12. Operator will lower casing down approximately 2 to 3 feet from the floor 13. Personnel will set slips and put on casing clamp 14. Operator will set down to CRT tool bumper and begin to back out (counter- clockwise), while slacking off approximately 6 to 8 inches to release locking system on the CRT tool. 15. After CRT tool makes complete reverse rotation to un-set, stop rotation and pick up slowly. 16. Operation will pick up to clear pipe-handler and casing joint, then repeat steps starting at #1.
