II. PROCEDURE

- Prepare the Bottom Hole Assembly as per drawing.

- Install the Stripper rubber in the stripper bowl.

- RIH the check valve just above the swab valve, close slips and snubs.

- Every 40 jts of macaroni, pump the internal volume of macaroni string to make sure

- Perform the tubing cleaning job as per programme (solvent, acid ….) with return to
burn pit. If the well is flowing naturally it is necessary to overcome the well shut in
pressure during the job to make sure the check valve is in closed position, so use a
choke on the return line.

- When return is clear of acid or solvent, pull out the macaroni to open the
legalisation device on check valve and wait for few minutes and POOH the
macaroni string.
