PURPOSE
This document provides key information on the following:
Pressure testing of Dual Pack Off Assembly B01 H2S.
SCOPE
This contains the Working Operations of the Enviro Dual Compact Pack-Off together with the Routine Maintenance
and Pressure Testing Procedure.
ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES

1) The Business Unit Manager – Slickline and Cased Hole is responsible for ensuring this work instruction
fully implemented and maintained.
2) The Wireline Manager - is ultimately responsible for the pressure control shop including equipment/people
and the process.
3) The Pressure Control Coordinator is responsible for communicating and ensuring compliance to specified
work instructions including the finalizing of work orders on the Maintenance Connection program.
4) The Pressure Control Specialist / Service Engineers and Wireline / Slickline Assistants are responsible for
performing job as outlined in the work instructions below.
5) The Asset Integrity Coordinator is responsible for ensuring the Maintenance Connection program is being
used and audits the system for compliance.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
The safety considerations listed below must be accurately followed at all times during execution of the task. Any
deviation from these considerations must be immediately reported to Maintenance (Wireline) Supervisor and/or
Business Unit Manager.
a) Ensure that the Risk Assessment / JSA have been completed prior to commencement of this process. Also
appropriate hazard controls are identified and communicated to all involved in the operation.
b) This system is capable of producing high fluid pressures-appropriate considerations are required
c) Only Trained and certified personnel are to perform the Pressure and Function Tests.

d) Ensure that only Competent and Qualified personnel are executing work instructions and is in the
immediate area around equipment.
e) Suitable PPE must be worn at all time.

 Safety helmet
 Safety footwear
 Safety glasses
 Hand protection
 Long sleeved coverall
f) Do not try to tighten or loosen connections under pressure.
g) Make an announcement on the PA system that Pressure Testing/Function Testing is soon to commence. Activate
‘revolving’ light to indicate “Pressure Testing” is in progress.
h) Prominently display warning signs “Pressure Test”.
i) Do not weld, file or use metal stamps on the pressure equipment — these can create cracks which could result
in structural damage/failure.
j) Do not over tighten manual/service valves (hand tight only).

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The NOV ASEP Elmar Enviro™ Dual "Compact" Pack-Off is designed to wipe clean moving cable under pressure.
Positioned above the tubing/casing, the Dual "Compact" Pack-Off is built around the wire before the wireline tool
is lowered into the well.
The Dual "Compact" Pack-Off works by squeezing each of the two independent rubber elements which are wrapped
around the wire. Each element seals on the cable outer armour against well pressure, as well as wiping the wire
free of fluid. The sealing element will seal on the static cable, although the ideal cable to seal on is a seasoned
cable.
The NOV ASEP Elmar Dual "Compact" Pack-Off is designed so that the rubber element in direct contact with the
wire is easily replaced.
The Dual Pack-Off is designed to be hydraulically operated and (2) x 3,000 psi hand pumps and hoses are required
for operation.
Various quick union connections can be provided for the lower connection.
OPERATING REQUIREMENTS
• Hydraulic Pressure: 300 - 500 psi (on moving wire) 5000 psi (on static wire only)
TES-Wireline Division carries the DUAL PACK-OFF described below:
PART NUMBER # DUAL PACK-OFF: L-970338 WORKING PRESSURE 5000 psi.

General rules for routine inspections:

 All components shall be thoroughly cleaned.
 All assemblies shall be disassembled and components inspected for damage or corrosion.
 All threads and sealing surfaces shall be checked for damage.
 All hydraulic hoses shall be unreeled and carefully inspected over their entire length.
 Any elements showing cracks or surface defects shall be replaced.
 Where grease lubrication nipples exist, ensure grease is pumped until full.
After inspection and reassembly the equipment shall undergo a function and pressure test to working pressure.
BEFORE EVERY JOB

 Check the equipment service record to ensure the equipment has been fully serviced by competent
personnel.

 Check all threads, seals and sealing surfaces for damage that might impair sealing. Repair or
replace as necessary.
 Lubricate through all grease nipples (if applicable).
 Check the hydraulic functions, to test that the piston assembly opens and closes.
 Function and pressure test to Working Pressure.
 Verify that the well site test pressure does not exceed the Working Pressure rating of that of
the equipment.
 Pressure test the complete rig-up.
 Check that Seal Kits and line size kits are available.
AFTER EVERY JOB

 Dismantle and clean all parts.
 Check condition of piston and piston seals. Replace if excessively worn or damaged.
 Inspect all seals and sealing surfaces. Replace any damaged sealing rings, back-up rings and line
rubbers
 Check all threads for damage or corrosion.

MAJOR MAINTENANCE
All WHE shall be surveyed at regular intervals and at least once per year. An annual survey usually consists of
a visual inspection and dimensional checks for ovality of tubulars and threads. For all jobs over 5,000 psi,
the hydrostatic body test and operational test shall not be older than 3 months. A verification procedure should
also be carried out after every job where the WHE has been subjected to extraordinary conditions, such as
rough handling, bending, accidental drops, corrosive fluids, unexpected H2S or CO2 during standard service, or
replacement of major parts.
All surveys and tests must be recorded in the equipment service record.
Renewal of certification requires a detailed survey and performance verification carried out under the control
of a certification agency. The need and frequency of such certification renewal shall be determined by local
regulations, but typically every five years. All WHE pressure containing equipment should undergo a major
re- certification every five years based on the following general procedures:
 Visual inspection.
 Random thickness tests on risers, BOP, tool trap, ball check valve, tool catcher and general bodies
using direct measurements, ultrasonic or X- ray.
 Dye penetration or MPI examination on threads or any damaged area determined at visual
inspection.
 Hydrostatic body test to Test Pressure.
 Function tests at Working Pressure.
 Review of Quality Files.
TO BE CARRIED OUT ONCE A YEAR
