RUNNING PROCEDURE
CONVENTIONAL WELLHEAD
1. Inspect top gasket preparation of casing head housing, clean with diesel, and
remove small scratches with fine emery paper. Install a ring gasket type RX-74
P/N 702002-07-42.
2. Nipple up B.O.P. stack on 20-3/4”API 3000 R-74 casing head housing flange.
5. Run the combination tool through the BOP's and land in casing head housing.
6. Close rams on drill string and test BOP's through the kill line (3000 PSI or 80%
of the collapse resistance of the running string used, whichever is less).
7. Bleed pressure.
8. Open rams
1. Make up the wear bushing Running & Retrieving tool P/N 238875-16-01-02 on a
drill string (NC50) pins facing down.
2. Connect 20" nominal Wear Bushing P/N 238874-14-01 onto the running tool (1/4
turn right hand).
3. Run assembly through the BOP's and land in the Casing Head Housing
4. Lock the Wear Bushing with the locking screws (2). Tighten moderately.
5. Disengage Running Tool from Wear Bushing (1/4 turn left hand) and retrieve to
rig floor.
7. Run Combination Tool through the BOP's and land on Wear Bushing. Connect
the Tool to Wear Bushing (1/4 turn right hand).
10. Inspect Running & Retrieving Tool and Wear Bushing for damage, clean with
diesel and stow away.
NOTE : Packing must not be compressed, i.e., does not extend beyond OD of
top hanger. If so slightly loosen cap screws at hanger top (the lower plate should
be snug to slightly loose)
9. Make a rough cut of 13-3/8" casing approximately 14" (350mm) over 20-3/4"

9/16” AE male x 1/2 NPT female adapter if necessary, CAMERON P/N 017454-
33, AE Ref 6M98B8).
6. Test to determine holding pressure thru test port (3000 PSI or 80% of the
collapse resistance of the 13-3/8" casing used, whichever is less), pressure is
held without leakage.
7. Bleed test pressure, remove test apparatus and re-install 9/16" autoclave blind
plug on test port.
8. If spool is not equipped, make up valves and flanges on both 2.1/16" API 5000
PSI R-24 outlets as requested.

flange.
5. Run the combination tool through the BOP's and land in casing head Spool.
6. Close rams on drill string and test BOP's through the kill line (5000 PSI or 80%
of the collapse resistance of the running string used, whichever is less).
7. Bleed pressure.
8. Open rams
