1. PURPOSE
The purpose of this procedure is to generically outline and detail the processes that are recommended
for planning and implementing a Well Construction Intervention Project for IPM. The processes
utilized during the preparation of this procedure are for the most part found in detail in WEMS and
outlined elaborately in the IPM Project Management Manual. Other excellent sources of reference are
also given at the end of this instrument for user use.
2. SCOPE
This procedure applies to all IPM operations and projects. The processes are in no way intended to be
construed as the only methodology to follow in a project; every project will have its own specific
elements that will have to be managed. It is possible that not all elements of this procedure will have to
be considered. However, it is suggested that this be a framework to follow to capture the project
cycle.

5. PROCEDURE
5.1 Overview
Every IPM Project should entail the use of a systematic, pre-defined work process and methodology to
accomplish the goals and objectives of each specific project. Whether office or field-based, the
methodology to be followed should be fairly standard. This could entail the use of the Production
Development Engineer or Field Supervisor exploring alternatives to increase performance from a
producing well asset or the Drilling Engineer exploring methods to achieve technical limit wells at an
expedited learning curve. In the case of a Well Intervention Project, the same methodology should be
followed as one would initiate a Well Construction Project; the difference being only in the various
functions to be performed and processes used. From the initial request from the Exploitation group or
the Production Operations Department (as an example) to explore the economic viability of a workover
to bring a well back to profitable economic conditions, the Production Engineer will utilize the various
departments, skill sets and experience within an organization to technically and economically
investigate the proposed work. All such work will be handled as a business case proposal, looking at
investment needed to achieve expected outcomes.
The Well Construction and Intervention Process is shown in the process flowchart found in section.
The process can be separated into five phases as follows:
• Concept and Development
• Capital Project Approval
• Detailed Design
• Planning Purchasing and Logistics
• Project Execution
• Completion and Evaluation (against original plan and expected outcomes)

Geology – A description of the local and regional G & G needs to be made including the general
sequence diagram, the appropriate seismic cross sections, local lithology descriptions, estimated
formation fluid pressures, knowledge of formation fluid properties (for compatibility studies), reservoir
rock characteristics (for completion including perforation plans) any LCM restrictions potential or
productive sand members and other G&G technical matters that will enhance the knowledge for the
WC & WI staff before well intervention is attempted.
Drilling Conductor Hole – The objective is to establish the exact criteria for Conductor Pipe setting,
including but not limited to shallow hazards and other problems so as to avoid broaching,
contamination of water tables, etc. taking into account local legislation.
PreJob Check – A conductor Installation check list is reviewed by the Drilling Supervisor before
spudding the well. A schematic showing the new surface hole relative to nearby existing wells will be
plotted by the Directional Contractor. Access, space constraints, any interference inconsistencies,
obstructions are noted and advisory issued. The closest approach analysis for the new well, with
required producing wells shut during drill by are clearly understood and followed.
Casing Running, Reciprocating, and Landing - The following should reflect all the details of casing
assembly make-up, running procedure, landing and cementing. With and without diverter should be
addressed.

Conductor, Surface, Intermediate, and Production Reciprocation & Landing – Enough detail
should be paid to explicit guidelines as to how to make-up, run and cement the remaining casing
strings and the importance of getting the shoes set at the designed setting depth. Hole section
guidelines will be developed and on the rig before each section is drilled. The objectives of each
casing string must be clearly stated in the program, which ensures that these are met.
Cementing - General Practices, guidelines and Field Blend data should be given and noted in the plan
so as to provide sufficient detail for each operation. Sampling procedures for all fluids and additives,
mix water preparation and chloride check procedures should also be provided. Displacement
calculations should be provided in the original plan as well as in the final cementing guidelines for each
section. Clear criteria for determining the quality of each cement job needs to be established, taking
into account the criticality and objectives of the respective casing and or liners.
Casing/Tubing Design - All detailed casing/tubing design criteria for all strings should be shown and
rated capacities reflected. It is recommended that the TDAS system be utilized to design all strings.
Wellbore Schematic – A detailed schematic drawing reflecting proposed downhole condition of well
including tangibles, hole sizes, brief description of proposed drilling fluid system, risk areas, etc. A
final wellbore schematic showing the final well status (completion and lift system details and wellhead
hookup) should be made of actual deliverables for each well and included in the End of Well report.
Casing Test Pressures - All casing test pressures should be clearly noted, the basis for these noted
in the program plan and should be as per IPM-WELL-S006 Standard. If testing the casing after
rotational wear, additional derating (SF) should be considered. Casing should be tested for 30
minutes, verified by chart.
Cement plugs, Sidetracking and Reactive Pills – description of the processes, equipment needed
and procedures for each should be clearly outlined and then fortified in the hole section guidelines
issued for each section. The objective of each should be clearly stated in the program.
Wellhead Guidelines and Diagram - A description of the test plugs, wear bushings, and running and
retrieving tools that are to be kept and maintained on the rig at all times should be noted. Special
crossover joints or spacers should be noted as well, along with the wellhead installation processes,
clearly outlining the type and rating of equipment to be used, and the proper placement when run. A
diagram will be drawn to reflect the desired installation and equipment as well as an “as installed”
diagram, submitted in the EOW Report.
BOP Testing Guidelines - Describe items such as what test plugs, wear bushings, running and
retrieving tools are to be kept and maintained on the rig at all times. Associated equipment such as
TIW's, IBOP's, kelly cocks, choke and standpipe manifold valves should all be tested to the same test
pressure as the BOP's. Note the rated pressure that each piece of equipment is to be tested to and
what specific pumps are to be used for the operation. Testing Frequency should be indicated. This will
be done in line with standards, IPM-WELL-S001 and IPM-WELL-S002.

5.10.1 WEMS
This is a project management tool, which is based on Microsoft Project that steers Project Teams
through a vigorous course of the various project stages. When followed from the onset, it meticulously
takes the users (Project Managers, engineers, Alliance leaders) through a series of tasks using a
checklist approach and refers to a series of template documents (Excel and Word formats). It offers
the users an organized and consistent methodology for Project planning (via a planning tool), design,
tracking, risk management, responsibility matrices and subsequent knowledge learning and sharing.
WEMS is a tool that can be used for all types of WCI Projects, not just limited to well construction or
production engineering Projects.
When used properly, the project templates can assist the Project TEAMS to prepare drilling, workover,
intervention and other production engineering projects from the original planning stages, to final
reports, management of change processes to the knowledge-learning element. If used, this can be
used as the link for far reaching multi-disciplined projects involving well construction, completion,
production and subsequent well intervention during the life of field operations. The importance of
utilizing the WEMS methodology throughout project planning, design, execution and post well
construction is the value found in a shared history base of well or asset performance and the shared
knowledge that is captured and available from that data base, when utilized on a consistent basis.
5.10.2 WellTRAK
This can be summarized as being another important tool used in WCI Projects to capture well
construction and intervention operational statistics, performance metrics and knowledge learning. It is
used as part of WEMS during the execution phases of any WCI Project, including capabilities of AFE
preparation and project cost tracking. With data bases established for a given Project area, this tool
can be useful in tracking data trends, generating project cost reports and other project data.
