I. OBJECTIVE
Wear Bushing for DHSV Nipples size 2.81 and 3.81 should be installed during
snubbing operations to prevent seal bore damage during macaroni trips and rotation.
- Wire line before running the macaroni string when the maximum outside diameter
of the macaroni string can pass through the wear bushing.
- Wear bushings are set and retrieved like a standard DHSV separation sleeve, using a
GS pulling / running tool. See figure 1.
- The procedure to apply is the same, however the control line pressure should not
exceed 1000 psi because of the risk of collapse due to the thinner wall of the size
2.81.
- The wear bushing is run with brass shear screws to connect it on the running tool.
Running procedure :
- Before the wear bushing reaches the DHSV nipple, the control line should be
flushed with hydraulic oil.
- When the wear bushing reaches the DHSV nipple a slack off weight is required to
install it. This will, in sequence :
- After the wear bushing has been installed in the DHSV nipple, 1000 psi control line
pressure is applied to :
a. Help the latching collet to keep the wear bushing in place (by increasing friction
on seals).
b. Control that the wear bushing remains in place throughout the whole snubbing
operation, and mostly during pulling out.
Important note :
For size 2.81, 1000 psi is the maximum pressure to be applied as the wear bushing
has a wall thickness lower than a separation sleeve. Therefore there is a risk of
collapse if too much pressure is applied.
Pulling procedure :
1. The macaroni string is pulled out until the no-go of the running/pulling tool
hook up on the wear bushing (this is checked by a slight over pull ).
Note : for size 3.81 as the no-go of the running tool is too small to retrieve
the wear bushing, it will be caught by the first tool which cannot
pass through (centralise, mill bit) this should be checked before RIH.
IV. REDRESSING
- After the wear bushing has been laid down it should be redressed with its running /
pulling tool to be ready for next run. Do not disconnect pin x pin pup joint from the
running / pulling tool if not necessary.
