The purpose of this maintenance manual is to provide field personnel with the
information required to properly operate, maintain and repair the cable heads
used for wireline operations. The manual is written so that new technicians can
understand and use it effectively and so that everyone, regardless of location,
can work to the same standard.

The General Descriptions & Specification, Operation, Disassembly and Assembly


sections are described by each head type while Safety and Maintenance
sections are detailed by head groups. BCC, Cone Type Rope Socket Assembly
and Weakpoints that are commonly used in most of the heads are described in
independent sections.

The most current information on Wireline Logging Heads will be posted on the
Logging Heads Reference Page, InTouch Content ID# 3258451.

2.1 Personnel Safety


The following safety measures should be taken to ensure personnel safety while
working with the heads.

All Heads
1. Be aware that high voltages may exist in cable heads. Make sure that tool
power is off before working on a head attached to a logging cable.
2. Be aware of stored electrical charge on the cable after using the megohmeter.
A long length of cable acts as a capacitor to store electrical energy at the
output voltage of the megohmmeter. Always discharge the cable by shorting
the conductor to mass after using the megohmmeter.
3. Be careful not to get injured at the pinch points while
assembling/disassembling the heads.
Additional cautions for heads with a tension sensor (loadcell) - LEH-HT,
MT, PT, QT and ST
4. While calibrating the head with a tension sensor, be aware of the relatively
high tensions that will be encountered. Be sure to remove the weakpoint from
the head before calibration.

2.2 Equipment Safety


The following safety measures should be taken to ensure equipment safety
while working with the heads.

All Heads
1. Display the weakpoint rating of the head you are using in the unit.
2. Perform the scheduled maintenances of weakpoint and head (FIT, TRIM)
and record the result in the rig book and RITE.net.
3. Turn off all power supplies before connecting or disconnecting heads.
4. Verify the temperature/pressure rating of the head based on the type of the
weak point, boot and feedthrough prior to the job.
5. Be careful not to pinch or nick the exposed head wires during calibration,
disassembly or assembly.

Additional cautions for heads with a mud temperature sensor (RTD) -


LEH-AA, PT, MT
6. Do not apply more than 2.00 mA DC excitation to the temperature transducer
HCS Sustaining Engineering\Kevin Zanca, Hai Vo\InTouch Content ID 3012542\4.0\Release Date:23-Mar-2018\EDMS UID: 275261732\Produced: 23-Mar-2018 04:07:36

(RTD) to prevent any damage to the device. Do not apply more than 50
VDC when checking the internal resistance of the RTD (pins 12, 13, 30 &
31 for LEH-MT and LEH-PT, pins 7,17, 18, 22 for LEH-AA) to prevent any
damage to the device.
Additional cautions for heads with a tension sensor (Loadcell) - LEH-HT,
MT, PT, QT and ST
7. Do not apply more than 15 V excitation to the strain gauge circuit. High
voltages or transients will permanently damage the loadcell. The 31-pin
adapter for the LEH is equipped with a gas-tube surge protector device.
When the 31-pin adapter is installed, this device will effectively protect the
tension sensor from accidental contact with a megger. If you are powering or
checking the load cell by itself, there is no surge protection in the circuit and
excess voltage will damage the sensor.
8. Use the 31-pin head extender (H245349) to meg the head. This will also
prevent contact with the tension sensor pins (#14,15,19,20). When megging
the head, apply voltage between the female BCC's and mass. This will
prevent accidental contact with loadcell terminals in the 31-pin adapter.
9. Do not attempt field repairs of the tension sensor. If the loadcell appears to
be the source of a failure, remove it from the head and return it to Technology
Center for analysis and repair through InTouch. See the troubleshooting
section for help in locating the source of the failure. Locations may want to
keep a spare loadcell assembly for this case.
10. The wet loadcell must be completely oil-filled. Check for air by pushing
down on the piston. Piston should not move. If oil is leaking, find the source
of the leak.

2.3 Compliance with European Union Technical


Directives

2.3.1 Regulation
1. Equipment imported for use in the European Union must comply with the
applicable EU technical directives.
2. The CE marking affixed on tools affirms compliance with these Directives,
which relies on risk analysis, design reviews and tests. A Declaration of
Conformity is available if requested by Authorities.

2.3.2 Identified Risk


For Wireline or Testing downhole tools, powered between 50 Volts and 1,000
Volts through the Wireline cable, it has been determined that in normal operation
(excluding shop calibration & maintenance done in a shop), the only hazard not
covered by intrinsic isolation in the tool is related to the HANDLING OF TOOLS
while tool power is applied for wellsite check/test/calibration purpose before
going into the well. (See LCIE report 459460.)

2.3.3 Safety Guidelines


1. To prevent possible injury, it is recommended that all personnel handling
downhole equipment in these operating conditions adhere to the following
procedure. (This procedure is valid for all downhole tools operated in the
defined voltage range regardless of which Product Center designed and/or
sold the tool.)
2. All personnel handling downhole tools at the well site during a powered-up
check/test/calibration, must wear insulating gloves and use a grounding
clamp to connect the housing of the powered tool to ground.
3. SRPC has designed and/or selected the following items to meet the
regulation:
"High" voltage protective clip set: P790572 (for large diameters, like 3-3/8
in. and small diameters, like 1-11/16 in tools). Electrical insulating gloves:
meeting the standard EN 60903 / CEI 903 which can be either purchased
locally, so long as conforming with the standard, or through SRPC/WDC.
4. SLB field safety policy requires that standard leather handling cover gloves
must be worn over the electrical gloves (which are rubber). These can also be
purchased either locally or through WDC. Here is the list of part numbers for
the different types of gloves and sizes that can be purchased through WDC:

• E082699: elec. insulation gloves, class 0, 1,000V size 8

Specifications
The cable head is a relatively simple device compared to many of the advanced
logging tools in use today. However, much action occurs in the small package of
the cable head. The cable head has to accomplish the following functions:
• Electrical connection from the cable to the tool
• Mechanical connection from the cable to the tool
• Transmission of cable torque to the tool
• Weakpoint for cable separation from the tool
• Measurement of Bottom Hole Temperature (BHT)
• Provide a neck for fishing
• Mass isolation of #10 (armor) and Weakpoint (bridle heads)

A cable head takes many important roles in linking the wireline cable to the
wireline tool string electrically and mechanically. Electrically, a cable head serves
as a connection crossover between cable lines and the bulkheads used in the
tools. Mechanically, the cable head needs to transmit tension and torque from
the cable to the logging tools. The head also contains some type of weakpoint,
intended to be broken in case the need arises to separate the cable from the
tool. Cable torque and tension are transmitted by means of a rope socket, which
is installed into a torpedo located inside the cable head. The rope socket outer
cone contains a slot that engages a lug located inside the torpedo. This lug/slot
engagement is necessary to transmit cable torque to the body of the cable head
and away from the weakpoint and electrical connections.

The proper maintenance is vital to make heads function well.

3.1 Monocable Heads


Monocable Heads (1-3/8 in or 1-11/16 in diameter) are designed to be used
for perforation or production services on mono cables or coaxial cables using
a single conductor and a spider weakpoint. They are available in two types,
MH-22 (H030796) and MH-32 (H353637). MH-22 has been also used as a part
of shooting bridle with 1-42ZB/ZH cable for perforation operations.

MH-22 is obsolete and MH-32 is the standard monocable head.

3-2 Heads ORM and MM Volume I / General Descriptions and Specifications 3-2

Monocable heads can be converted to configurations with bigger head OD using


kits and an adaptor head (AH-38, PEK-BB, PEK-BC, PEK-E) as described
in Section 3.1.4.
HCS Sustaining Engineering\Kevin Zanca, Hai Vo\InTouch Content ID 3012542\4.0\Release Date:23-Mar-2018\EDMS UID: 275261732\Produced: 23-Mar-2018 04:07:36

Monocable heads can be upgraded for HTHP operations by the parts as


described in Section 3.1.2.1 and Section 3.1.3.1.

3.1.1 Monocable Heads Specifications


Monocable Heads are listed in the table below. For more detailed dimensions of
the head for fishing operations, refer to Section 6.4 Logging head dimensions for
fishing operations in Wireline Fishing Manual (InTouch # 4172213).

Quality Note
The PEH-EF/EFA or PEH-AB, with flexible weakpoints, are the only rated
heads for explosive services. Flexible weakpoints must be used for explosive
operations, such as gun strings or other services that involve shock loading
of the weakpoint. The flexible weakpoint is less susceptible to unintentional
separation under shock-loading conditions.

If an LEH or a XHUH is required for tractor operations involving explosive


services, an ECRD can be used. The ECRD cannot be used in conjunction with
a tandem rigid weakpoint. A WPSA must be ran in conjunction with the ECRD to
reduce the perforation shock on the ECRD bobbin.

Refer to the ECRD and tractor reference documentations for the ECRD and
tractor explosive qualifications and maintenance.

The MH-32 (1-11/16-in monocable head, H353637) was designed based on


the requirements of the PSP (Production Services Platform) in coordination
with SRPC. It contains NACE-rated materials and is subject to the Platform
Express shock specification for reliability. MH-32 serves as a replacement for
the MH-22/AH-38 combination. It uses the spider weak point as listed in the
Spider Weakpoints table.

MH-32 has the following advantages over MH-22.


• Reduced length (12.4-in make-up length)
• Corrosion resistant (including H2S), hence, longer life
• Fewer parts (simpler to build)
• Eliminates the need of an AH-38
• Uses the same spider weak point to shorten the learning curve
• Uses the same plastic feedthrough as the MH-22

MH-32 has following changed features over MH-22.


• A shorter conductor length for the rope socket is used. (2.3-in, same as
cone rope socket)
• Dual grounding points are available
• Direct BCC termination is available for all cables (no more splicing)
• Fishing neck and bell housing are integrated into one part
• Cable torque is transmitted via a hex collar and groove-pins to the bell
housing
• More expensive than the MH-22/ AH-38 combination. The extra expense is
mostly due to the use of corrosion-resistant materials that are NACE rated
for H2S service.

3.1.4.1 AH-38
The transition from the 1-3/8-in diameter MH-22 head to the 1-11/16-in diameter
head is accomplished by the use of the AH-38 (H106437) adapter head. The
AH-38 screws onto the end of the MH-22, enabling the use of 1-11/16-in diameter
tools below it.

The AH-38 is a simple adapter head with one feedthrough connector as shown in
the figure below.

Perforation Equipment Heads (1-3/8 in or 1-11/16 or 3-3/8 in diameter) are


designed to be used for perforation, production, cased hole logging or FPIT
services. PEH’s are available in 5 types as listed in the table below

PEH-A and PEH-E are obsolete and PEH-AB is the standard for 3-3/8 in and
PEH-EF/ EFA is the standard for 1-3/8 in perforating equipment head.

Perforation equipment heads can be converted to larger OD’s using kits and an
adaptor head (AH-38, PEK-BB, PEK-BC, PEK-E) as described in Section 3.2.7:
Adapters, Kits and Combination of Perforation Equipment Heads.

PEH-AB, PEH-E and PEH-EF/ EFA temperature and/or pressure rating can be
upgraded to 500 degF (260 degC), 25 Kpsi as described in Section 3.2.2.2:
PEH-AB Upgrade from 400 degF to 500 degF, 3.2.4.2: PEH-EF Upgrade for
HTHP Operations.

Perforating equipment head accommodates rigid or flexible weakpoints as listed


in Appendix V.

Quality Note
The PEH-EF/EFA or PEH-AB, with flexible weakpoints, are the only rated
heads for explosive services. Flexible weakpoints must be used for explosive
operations, such as gun strings or other services that involve shock loading
of the weakpoint. The flexible weakpoint is less susceptible to unintentional
separation under shock-loading conditions.

If an LEH or a XHUH is required for tractor operations involving explosive


services, an ECRD can be used. The ECRD cannot be used in conjunction with
a tandem rigid weakpoint. A WPSA must be ran in conjunction with the ECRD to
reduce the perforation shock on the ECRD bobbin.

Refer to the ECRD and tractor reference documentations for the ECRD and
tractor explosive qualifications and maintenance.

3.2.2 PEH-AB
PEH-AB (3-3/8 in diameter perforating equipment head, H222893, 350 degF
[176 degC], 20 Kpsi) has 10 socket connectors at the pin type lower head. It is
designed to run with 3-3/8 in equipment.

The bell housing (H108135) of the PEH-AB does not have provisions for
thermometer carriers and has the standard fishing neck (H108149) 13 in long and
2.31 in diameter that eliminates the need of the fishing bell extension as PEH-A.

The plastic feedthrough (H701185) has replaced the old Inconel, glass-sealed,
large-body feedthrough (H245804) that was used in the PEH-A. This new
feedthrough offers improved reliability at the same cost as the old type of
feedthrough. The new part is a drop in replacement for the old feedthrough,

requiring the same O-rings and other connector parts. The temperature
capability of the plastic feedthrough is dependent on the cavity design. In the
PEH-AB, that capability is 500 degF (260 degC).
HCS Sustaining Engineering\Kevin Zanca, Hai Vo\InTouch Content ID 3012542\4.0\Release Date:23-Mar-2018\EDMS UID: 275261732\Produced: 23-Mar-2018 04:07:36

A split torpedo is used to connect the head to the multi-conductor rope socket.
When the weakpoint is pulled in two, the rope socket, split torpedo, extension
sleeve, split extension and weakpoint connector are returned to surface.

PEH-AB accommodates rigid or flexible weakpoints as listed in Table V-2,


V-4, V-5, V-6, V-7 of Appendix V. Weakpoint connector (H407681) or optional
connector (H105312) may be used with the standard molded solid weakpoint
or the modular weakpoint assembly.

Quality Note
Due to reduced shock resistance of solid weakpoints comparing to flexible
weakpoints, PEH-AB with a solid weakpoint should be not be used in operations
involving shock such as perforations or chronological samplings to prevent an
unintentional pull off.

3.2.2.1 PEH-A Conversion to PEH-AB

3.2.3 PEH-E
PEH-E (H108785) is a 1-3/8 in diameter perforating equipment head with solid
weakpoint, rated to 400degF, 20 Kpsi. PEH-E has a pin lower head with a socket
contact. It is designed for use on cables with cone type rope sockets and may be
run with 1-3/8 in, 1-11/16 in, or 3-3/8 in equipment. The attachment to the cable
rope socket is similar to other PEH type heads using a split torpedo.

The large-body plastic feedthrough (H701182, 400 degF, 20 Kpsi) is the standard
on the PEH-E head. It is a drop in replacement for the old feedthrough (H245801)
and requires the same seals.

A torpedo (H245120) is available for use with the coil spring boot, for ease of use
when switching between LEH-Q type heads and PEH-E heads.

PEH-E accommodates rigid weakpoints as listed in the “Rigid High Temperature


Weakpoints PEH-E/KD” table in Vol II, appendices.

equipment head. PEH-EF is rated to 400 degF, 20 Kpsi and has a pin lower head
with a socket contact as shown in the figure below. It is a single conductor head
and may be run with 1-3/8 in, 1-11/16 in, or 3-3/8 in equipment. It is designed to
be used on cables with cone type rope sockets. The attachment to the cable
rope socket is similar to other PEH type heads using a split torpedo. A torpedo
(H245120) is available for use with the coil spring boot, for ease of use when
switching between LEH-Q type heads and PEH-E heads.

The large-body plastic feedthrough (H701182, 400 degF, 20 Kpsi) is the standard
on the PEH-EF head. It is a drop in replacement for the old feedthrough
(H245801) and requires the same seals.

PEH-EF accommodates flexible weakpoints as listed in “Flexible Weakpoints for


PHE-AB/PEH-EF (listing only)” table and ”Speciality Weakpoints for ECRD and
Loadcell” table in Vol II, appendices.

heads for explosive services. Flexible weakpoints must be used for explosive
operations, such as gun strings or other services that involve shock loading
of the weakpoint. The flexible weakpoint is less susceptible to unintentional
separation under shock-loading conditions.

If an LEH or a XHUH is required for tractor operations involving explosive


services, an ECRD can be used. The ECRD cannot be used in conjunction with
a tandem rigid weakpoint. A WPSA must be ran in conjunction with the ECRD to
reduce the perforation shock on the ECRD bobbin.

Refer to the ECRD and tractor reference documentations for the ECRD and
tractor explosive qualifications and maintenance.

The upper portion of the head is very similar in construction to the standard
PEH-E head. The lower head is different, due to the requirement for seven
feedthroughs, instead of the single feedthrough in the PEH-E head. The lower
head subassembly is detailed in the subassembly drawings.

3.3 Logging Equipment Heads


Logging equipment heads are designed to be used for logging services on hepta
cables using multiple conductors. They are available in ten types as listed in .

Logging equipment heads commonly have a 31-pin female lower connection.


It can be connected directly to the common 31-pin, 3-3/8 in logging tools and
the armored logging cable or bridles (BRT-AQ, BRT-BA or BRT-BC). The mass
isolation feature of the LEH/BRT combination is built into the bridle cable rather
than the weakpoint as in EQCS-34 (obsolete) and PEH-AB cable heads. Any
logging equipment heads listed below can be teamed with these bridles to
replace the old EQCS-34 bridle head. This will reduce the number of different
heads that have to be maintained and carried on the truck.

All heads come standard with plastic feedthroughs. The small-body plastic
feedthrough required a change in the machined cavity of the lower head, so
they are not a drop in replacement. The temperature capability of the plastic
feedthrough depends on the design of the machined cavity. In all current
logging equipment heads, that capability is 500 degF (260 degC). The plastic
feedthrough was developed for increased reliability of the cable connection.

LEH-HT, MT, PT, QT and ST provide downhole tension measurements using a

cartridge measures the strain resistance caused by the tension applied along
the load cell and sends it to surface. The MAXIS/Maxwell software converts
HCS Sustaining Engineering\Kevin Zanca, Hai Vo\InTouch Content ID 3012542\4.0\Release Date:23-Mar-2018\EDMS UID: 275261732\Produced: 23-Mar-2018 04:07:36

the resistance reading into the tension. The downhole tension measurement
provides a clearer picture of stuck in-hole situations that may occur in sticky
or deviated holes. The tension sensor is located where it is most effective,
directly below the weakpoint in the head, which should prevent many accidental
pull-offs. In addition, the downhole tension data makes more accurate cable
stretch corrections possible, which improves the interpretation and quality control
of the other logs.

LEH-AA, MT and PT provide the mud temperature measurement using a RTD


(Resistance Thermometer Detector) that is exposed to the borehole as listed in
Table 3-12: Mud Temperature Sensor (RTD) Specifications. The electronics
circuit in the telemetry cartridge measures the RTD resistance which varies by
the ambient temperature and sends it to surface. The MAXIS/Maxwell software
converts the resistance reading into the mud temperature.

To monitor the tension and mud temperature measurement, the logging


equipment heads with the sensors should be run with the telemetry cartridge
which processes the downhole tension and the mud temperature as a TCC-BF,
DTC, EDTC or STGC/QTGC/HTGC.

LEH-HT, MT and PT can be used for HTHP operations due to their high
temperature and pressure ratings.

All heads except LEH-ST (due to the wet load cell) can be upgraded to 500 degF
(260 degC) with high temperature components.

The heads are very similar and share a maximum number of common parts.
The modification kits change only the downhole end of the LEH, the upper end
is identical to the common LEH-QC, except for the LEH-ST, where uphole end
configuration is the same as for other SLIM tools.

Logging equipment heads accommodate rigid weakpoints as listed in Appendix


Y, Heads Manual, Vol. 2. An ECRD can be run on the LEH-HT, MT, PT, QE, QT,
ST as an optional equipment. For more details, refer to ECRD-E/F Operations
and Maintenance Manual (InTouch # 4324935).

Adapters are available for connecting the heads to a wide variety of different tool
diameters and pin configurations as described in Section 3.3.13.

Following heads is the standard Logging Equipment Heads.

The specifications of Logging Equipment Heads, Downhole Tension Sensor
(Loadcell) and Mud Temperature Sensor (RTD) are listed in , , Table 3-12:
Mud Temperature Sensor (RTD) Specifications respectively. For more detailed
dimensions of the head for fishing operations, refer to Section 6.4 Logging
head dimensions for fishing operations in Wireline Fishing Manual (InTouch
# 4172213).

Quality Note
The PEH-EF/EFA or PEH-AB, with flexible weakpoints, are the only rated
heads for explosive services. Flexible weakpoints must be used for explosive
operations, such as gun strings or other services that involve shock loading
of the weakpoint. The flexible weakpoint is less susceptible to unintentional
separation under shock-loading conditions.

If an LEH or a XHUH is required for tractor operations involving explosive


services, an ECRD can be used. The ECRD cannot be used in conjunction with
a tandem rigid weakpoint. A WPSA must be ran in conjunction with the ECRD to
reduce the perforation shock on the ECRD bobbin.

The LEH-AA (100032194) is a 2-1/4 in diameter Logging Equipment Head


rated to 194 degF, 8 Kpsi. LEH-AA has 22 pin connectors at the box type lower
head. It was primarily developed to meet the demands of low cost for the High
Volume – Low Tier markets. Due to this reason, it does not have a downhole
tension device.

The LEH-AA accommodates up to a 7-39 Hepta Cable and a 1-23/1-25/1-32


Monocable. The reason for only the 1-32 Monocable is because this is the only
Mono-Cable that will fit into a cone type Rope Socket. A Spider Rope Socket is
not recommended for this application.

The LEH-AA does not have provisions for thermometer carriers to measure
the maximum borehole temperature, but provides the mud temperature
measurements using a mud temperature sensor, RTD (100088599) as listed in
Table 3-12: Mud Temperature Sensor (RTD) Specifications.

Overall, the components located in the mud zone are basically identical to an

3.3.3 LEH-HT
The LEH-HT (H356846) is a 3-3/8 in diameter HTHP Logging Equipment
Head with Tension rated to 500 degF (260 degC), 25 Kpsi. LEH-HT has 31
pin connectors at the box type lower head. It is a modified LEH-QT for high
temperature and pressure, HTHP operations (500 degF [260 degC[ and 25,000
psi).

LEH-HT provides downhole tension measurements; the Wet Loadcell (500


degF (260 degC), 25 Kpsi, H356841) has been replaced with the Dry Loadcell
(500 degF [260 degC], 30 Kpsi, 100807928). To monitor the downhole tension
measurements, LEH-HT must be run with a telemetry cartridge such as TCC-B
(MR6), DTC in a flask, EDTC or HTGC (3-3/4 in diameter, Xtreme Platform,
STGC with a Dewar Flask Assembly UDFH-KLA H623408, 500 degF (260
degC), 25 Kpsi).

The LEH-HT may be used with any tool string given the appropriate adapters for
tool make-up diameter and head pin configuration.

3.3.6 LEH-QC

Note
LEH-RC, LEH-QC and LEH-QO will become obsolete effective March 1, 2013.
For more details, see InTouch Announcement 5924419.

The LEH-QC (H701916) is a 3-3/8 in diameter Logging Equipment Head rated to


400 degF, 20 Kpsi. LEH-QC has 31 pin connectors at the box type lower head. It
is simply an LEH-QB (obsolete) with an extended torpedo section. The torpedo
is lengthened to allow more room for making up the BCC-C connections, and
to allow easier make up to the new, less expensive, re-designed BRT-AQ. The
LEH-QC torpedo also uses a cone-type steel boot instead of the spring boot, as
on LEH-QB. LEH-QC is the standard LEH head without tension.

The LEH-QC addresses field complaints and suggestions about problems with
the existing EQCS-41 torpedo in the older and now obsolete LEH-Q and QB.
The complaints have centered mainly around the perception that the existing
EQCS-41 is too short, does not allow enough room to work in, and requires the
use of the spring boot. Some locations have cut rope socket conductors shorter
to accommodate the short length of the torpedo. The extended torpedo should
answer all of these problems.

LEH-QC accommodates rigid weakpoints as listed in Appendix Y, Heads Manual,


Vol. 2.

Convert LEH-Q or QB to LEH-QC with kit H701915. The tension head, LEH-QT,
will be sold with the extended torpedo. The LEH-QC may also be modified with
either the oil-filled kit (H701470) or the tension kit (H710450).

In addition, the head lead length is slightly shorter than in the regular LEH-QC
due to the shortened torpedo. Cut the wires to 14-3/4 in long. Wrap the head
leads around the weakpoint so that the boot ends are located 2-1/4 in from the
face of the weakpoint head.

3.3.6.2 LEH-Q/QB Conversion to LEH-QC


A LEH-Q (H245163) can be converted to a LEH-QC using an Extended Torpedo

LEH-QT provides downhole tension measurements using a dry loadcell as listed


in Table . A Wet Loadcell (350 degF, 20 Kpsi, H352106) was used in LEH-QT but
it has been replaced by a Dry Loadcell. The standard Dry Loadcell (100323783)
is rated at 400 degF (204 degC) and 20K psi. HTHP Dry Loadcell Assembly (500
degF [260 degC], 30 Kpsi, 100807928) is available for LEH-QT as an optional
equipment.

The power and signal to and from the tension sensor is passed through the 31
pin adapter, the 5 pin connector and then to the sensor itself. Signal processing
and excitation voltage are supplied from any telemetry cartridge that is capable
of supplying excitation voltage to the Loadcell and processing the signal such as
TCC-B (MR6), DTC or EDTC.

LEH-QT accommodates rigid weakpoints as listed in Appendix Y, Heads Manual,


Vol. 2. An ECRD can be run on the LEH-QT as optional equipment. For more
details, refer to ECRD-E/F Operations and Maintenance Manual (InTouch #
4324935).

3.3.7.1 Dry Load Cell


Dry Loadcell Assembly (100323783) is rated to 400 degF (204 degC), 20K
psi, and is capable of directly measuring the tensile load on the weakpoint. It
consists of a four-arm strain gage bridge that is mounted on the inner diameter
of the tensile stud. It has a network of resistors that compensate for the effects
of pressure and temperature.

It was designed to replace the Wet Loadcell assembly (H352106, Obsolete)


rated to 350 degF (177 degC), 20K psi, that incorporated a sputter deposit strain
element (H701463) located inside an oil-filled pressure compensated housing
assembly.

Wet Loadcells had the following design issues.


• The strain element (H701463) was sensitive to contaminants in the oil that
could take place in downhole condition.
• An intensive maintenance program was required to replace sealing
components.
• The reliability of the strain element had become questionable, leading to an
overwhelming refurbishment program through the product center. The issue
was partially affected by the abilities of the supplier of the previous strain
element.

3-37 Heads ORM and MM Volume I / General Descriptions and Specifications 3-37

Dry Loadcells have the following benefits over Wet Loadcells.


• The Loadcell is “dry” (i.e. no internal oil reservoir) which eliminates several of
the drawbacks of the Wet Loadcell configuration.
HCS Sustaining Engineering\Kevin Zanca, Hai Vo\InTouch Content ID 3012542\4.0\Release Date:23-Mar-2018\EDMS UID: 275261732\Produced: 23-Mar-2018 04:07:36

• The Loadcell assembly is a welded system that is not oil compensated.


Therefore, there is no sensitivity of the loadcell to contamination because the
internal strain element is completely isolated from the borehole fluid.
• The loadcell assembly is pre-assembled and calibrated therefore it reduced
the assembly time through manufacturing and does not require routine
maintenance at the field level. If the loadcell assembly requires warranty
works or repairs, the field location must request a RAN number and return
the DLC's to Technology Center via InTouch. This will assure that the DLC's
are being repaired and returned in a timely manner.

The Dry Loadcell Assembly (100323783) uses the same retaining nut (H701311)
and the loadcell extension rod (100481339) as Wet Loadcell Assembly
(H352106) but does not require a spring (H352107) since the assembly is not
a non-compensated system.

The Dry Loadcell must be ordered through SWPS as an assembly (100323783)


that includes the Dry Loadcell (100353269) and the loadcell extension rod
(100481339).

Dry Loadcell Assembly (500 degF (260 degC), 30 Kpsi, 100807928) is available
for LEH-QT as an optional equipment.

It provides downhole tension measurements using a Wet Loadcell Assembly (400


degF, 20 Kpsi, H351342). To monitor downhole tension measurements, LEH-ST
must be run with a telemetry cartridge such as TCC-B (MR6), DTC or EDTC
with an AH-197 (2-1/2 in to 3-3/8 in, 31 sockets to 31-pin, 400 degF, 20 Kpsi,
H351323) or STGC (2-1/2 in, SlimAccess, STGC with STGH, 300 degF, 14 Kpsi).

LEH-ST requires the same software and hardware setup as the LEH-QT. The
same operating and logging principles apply to the LEH-ST as apply to the
LEH-QT.

LEH-ST accommodates rigid weakpoints as listed in the Weakpoints Appendix,

3.3.10 LEH-QO

Note
LEH-RC, LEH-QC and LEH-QO will become obsolete effective March 1, 2013.
For additional details see InTouch Announcement 5924419.

The LEH-QO (H360020) is a 3-3/8-in diameter, Oil Filled Logging Equipment


Head rated to 400 degF, 20 Kpsi. LEH-QOhas 31 pin connectors at the box
type lower head. The purpose of the oil-filled head (OFH) is to improve the
reliability of the booted feedthrough connection, where most head leaks
occur. This connection is surrounded in insulating silicone oil in the OFH. By
eliminating conductive borehole fluids around the feedthrough, head leaks are
greatly reduced. At this point, the boots become a fully redundant seal for
the feedthrough connection. The oil-filled chamber is pressure compensated.
Sealing around the head leads is accomplished by an elastomeric packoff, with
adjustable squeeze. The head contains the new plastic feedthroughs.

The oil-filled head has been field tested with high power tools, such as MSCT,
MDT, RFT, mainly at temperatures above 300 degF, with no failures. It is
recommended to use the LEH-QO in the most demanding environments, which
occur with high power tools, run in deep, hot, heavy mud wells. An LEH head
may not be modified with both oil-filled kit and the tension kit at once.

3.3.11 LEH-RC

Note
LEH-RC, LEH-QC and LEH-QO will become obsolete effective March 1, 2013.
For additional details see InTouch Announcement 5924419.

The LEH-RC (H713338) is a 2-3/4 in diameter Logging Equipment Head rated to


400 degF, 20 Kpsi. LEH-RC has 29 pin connectors at the box type lower head,
used in combination with the 2-3/4in, 29-pin tools.

It was designed to replace the LEH-R (H245164, obsolete) with following


improvements over LEH-R.
• Reliability (uses small body plastic fluid-to-air connectors).
• Substantial cost reductions in both asset cost and M & S costs.
• Maintainability (easier to maintain and change out due to longer torpedo).

LEH-RC accommodates rigid weakpoints as listed in the Weakpoints Appendix,


Heads Manual, Vol. 2. An ECRD can be run on the LEH-RC as an optional
equipment. For more details, refer to ECRD-E/F Operations and Maintenance
Manual (InTouch # 4324935).

3.3.11.1 LEH-R Conversion to LEH-RC

Note
LEH-RC, LEH-QC and LEH-QO will become obsolete effective March 1, 2013.
For additional details see InTouch Announcement 5924419.

LEH-R can be converted to LEH-RC using upgrade kit (Plastic Feedthrus, LEH-R
to LEH-RC, H701464), which includes a new machined lower head, complete
with all fluid-to-air connectors and blank-off plugs installed. The upgrade kit
does not contain the extended torpedo. This kit is the 2-3/4 in equivalent to
the upgrade kit (H701945) offered for 3-3/8 in LEH-Q heads. To include the
extended torpedo, use the upgrade kit (H701915).

weakpoints, do not neglect this part for maintenance and replacement of
O-rings (B011404).)

Note
If using pliers during disassembly of modular weakpoint assembly, be sure
to remove any nicks and burrs with emery cloth or sandpaper prior to
replacement of head wires.

4.3.2 PEH-AB Assembly

4.3.2.1 Precautions
It is very important that the following precautions be observed:
1. For flexible weakpoints, use two (2) springs (H268749). Refer to drawing
H222893.
2. Spring B074383 can be used instead of H268749, especially at high
temperature.
3. Slotted spring (H222296) can be added to H268749 to improve contact of
line #10.
4. With a dial caliper or micrometer, confirm that the dimensions of the
anti-torque lug on the bell housing are as follows: 0.36-in wide, 0.50-in long,
and 0.18-in thick.

4-9 Heads ORM and MM Volume I / Operations, Disassembly and Assembly 4-9

a. If this lug is corroded or worn, replace the bell housing.


b. Ensure the connector (H407681) is properly adjusted to a 3/8-in gap
between the end of the bell housing (H108135) and the inside of the
HCS Sustaining Engineering\Kevin Zanca, Hai Vo\InTouch Content ID 3012542\4.0\Release Date:23-Mar-2018\EDMS UID: 275261732\Produced: 23-Mar-2018 04:07:36

connector (H407681).
c. If the gap is not adjusted properly, the anti-torque lug will not be properly
engaged with the split torpedo, which could allow rotation of the torpedo
assembly and result in a lost tool downhole. See note #2 on drawing
H222893.

5. When making up nut (B012886) on feedthrough, tighten nut finger tight, and
then add no more than 1/3 of a turn with wrench.
6. Do not forget the lock washer (H026233). Never use a lock washer (H026233)
that is cut, since it will not lock the head and bell housing together. A cut lock
washer can cause the weakpoint to unscrew and result in the loss of a tool.
7. The bell housing must be completely filled with any automotive chassis
grease or DC-111 grease (B021698).
8. Make sure the gap between weakpoint and weakpoint connector is filled
with USKORONA tape and with rubber tubing (B013679) to avoid pinching
wires by well pressure.
9. Use a GO/NOGO gauge (H123578) to adjust the crimping tool.
10. Tape the wires to the weakpoint in only one place, so as to allow wires to
move when connecting head to the cable.
11. Do not bend boots during taping of wires.
12. Check all new O-rings and backup rings (if any) for nicks, gouges, cuts or
tears. Discard any faulty rings.

4.3.2.2 Modular Weakpoint Assembly (H441734)


Refer to drawing H222893.

1. Coat two (2) O-rings (B011404) with silicone grease DC-111 (B021698)
before installation. Install two (2) O-rings (B011404) in the grooves on the
modular weakpoint head (H701977).
2. Install one compression spring (H-701993) into thread bore on modular
weakpoint head (H701977).

4.15.2 LEH-HT Operations - MaxWell Job Execution

4.15.2.1 Software Operation: Equipment Setup


This section describes the Equipment Setup task. The tool string configuration,
instructions for obtaining master calibration data and parameter initialization
are described in the following sections.

Equipment and Computation Manager

Verify the physical position of the Heads and Subs with Tension/Compression
Sensor tool in the toolstring. If Head Tension signals are to be acquired, make
sure the tool is immediately on top of the telemetry cartridge and that the sensor
is physically connected directly to the telemetry cartridge’s electronics.

HTEN Parameter Settings

There are three parameters associated with the Heads and Subs with
Tension/Compression Sensor. Parameter HTEN_CALI determines which set of
gain and offset to be applied to data flow. By default HTEN_CALI is “Calibration”
which dictates the use of HTEN_GAIN and HTEN_OFFSET computed from
accumulations. If HTEN_CALI is set to “Manual”, then two other parameters
HTEN_MULTIPL and HTEN_SHIFT are used in the data flow. Parameter
HTEN_MULTIPL is effectively the manual entry Gain and HTEN_SHIFT the
manual entry Offset.

Weak Point Configuration

Weak Point configuration is performed by selecting the Weak Point from the drop
down list for Weak Point type property. Weak point can be either mechanical or
electrically controlled.

4.15.2.2 Software Operation: HTEN Calibration


This section describes the calibration tasks, procedures, measurements, etc.,
before tool operation. There are two Calibrations associated with Heads and
Subs with Tension/Compression Sensor’s Head Tension, Master and Before
Logging Surface.

The calibration parameters and coefficients for Heads and Subs with
Tension/Compression Sensor are as follows:

Before Logging Surface Calibration

The zero reading of the tension is notably inaccurate, varying with the
hardware setup. An adjustment prior to running in the hole can be computed
from accumulations. The computed HTEN_GAIN and HTEN_OFFSET can
be overridden by manually enter and apply the gain and offset through the
parameters HTEN_MULTIPL and HTEN_SHIFT.

The Before Logging Surface task tree for the Heads and Subs with
Tension/Compression Sensor consists of two accumulation subtasks, Zero
and Plus accumulations. When both Zero and Plus accumulations are
available, computation of the HTEN_GAIN and HTEN_OFFSET will take place
automatically. The Calibration tab in Vertical Viewers shall update with the result
of the HTEN_GAIN and HTEN_OFFSET.

Zero Accumulation

When performing the Zero Accumulation, make sure to remove any weight
on the Head or Sub with tension sensor. This can be done either by laying
the tool horizontally or vertically by using the C-Plate. The Calibration tab in
Vertical Viewers shall update with the result of the Zero Measurement calibration
coefficient RHTE_ZM_BF (You might need to switch the Report Type to Average
Detail to see this).

Plus Accumulation

The Plus Reference is automatically computed from the tool string weight. This
should be verified by reading the tension from the CMTD with the entire tool
string hanging off the head/sub with tension sensor. The Plus Accumulation
should be run with this setup. The Plus Accumulation generates the Plus
Measurement RHTE_PM_BF.

4.17.3.4 Maxwell Job Execution

Software Operation: Equipment Setup

This section describes the Equipment Setup task. The tool string configuration,
instructions for obtaining master calibration data and parameter initialization
are described in the following sections.

Equipment and Computation Manager

Verify the physical position of the Heads and Subs with Tension/Compression
Sensor tool in the toolstring. If Head Tension signals are to be acquired, make
sure the tool is immediately on top of the telemetry cartridge and that the sensor
is physically connected directly to the telemetry cartridge’s electronics.

HTEN Parameter Settings

There are three parameters associated with the Heads and Subs with
Tension/Compression Sensor. Parameter HTEN_CALI determines which set of
gain and offset to be applied to data flow. By default HTEN_CALI is “Calibration”
which dictates the use of HTEN_GAIN and HTEN_OFFSET computed from
accumulations. If HTEN_CALI is set to “Manual”, then two other parameters
HTEN_MULTIPL and HTEN_SHIFT are used in the data flow. Parameter
HTEN_MULTIPL is effectively the manual entry Gain and HTEN_SHIFT the
manual entry Offset.

The Master Calibration has no task associated. It allows user to enter the Master
Calibration Coefficients obtained from the Shop Calibration procedure as per
Head’s Maintenance Manual. This is done through the interface from Vertical
Viewer’s Calibration tab.

1. Select HTEN Master Calibration in the Calibrations drop down.


2. Switch the Report Type to Average Detail to see the HTEN_MCAL_GAIN and
HTEN_MCAL_OFFSET calibration coefficients.
3. Click on the Edit Coefficients icon from the top left icon toolbar. This enables
the editing of the calibration coefficients.
4. Enter the gain and offset from the Shop calibration procedure.
5. Click on the Save Coefficients icon from the top left icon toolbar to save
the values just entered.

Before Logging Surface Calibration

The zero reading of the tension is notably inaccurate, varying with the
hardware setup. An adjustment prior to running in the hole can be computed
from accumulations. The computed HTEN_GAIN and HTEN_OFFSET can
be overridden by manually enter and apply the gain and offset through the
parameters HTEN_MULTIPL and HTEN_SHIFT.

The Before Logging Surface task tree for the Heads and Subs with
Tension/Compression Sensor consists of two accumulation subtasks, Zero
and Plus accumulations. When both Zero and Plus accumulations are
available, computation of the HTEN_GAIN and HTEN_OFFSET will take place
automatically. The Calibration tab in Vertical Viewers shall update with the result
of the HTEN_GAIN and HTEN_OFFSET.

Maxwell – OP Differences

This section lists the significant differences between the APS Maxwell and OP
implementations.

• OP does not support calibration task. Gain and offset are manually entered.
• Maxwell supports Head Tension Master and Before Logging Surface
calibrations.
• Normalized EU Gain and EU Offset are not available in OP and a different
value is used depending on the acquisition cartridge used.
• In OP, downhole force channels are DF and CDF associated with DTC
cartridge. In Maxwell, these channels are RHTE and HTEN associated with
Heads and Subs with Tension/Compression Sensor.

4.17.4 LEH-PT Troubleshooting


The troubleshooting guide is intended to give the engineer or technician help in
locating the probable cause of failures in the LEH-PT. If the failure is isolated
down to the loadcell, send the loadcell back to HCS for analysis and repair.
Field repairs on the loadcell are not recommended. The sputter-deposited strain
element is very fragile and can be easily damaged if removed from it's protective
housing and mishandled.

If the failure is not located in the loadcell, then the problem is either in the 31-pin
adapter or the processing electronics. Problems with the 31-pin adapter may
be found with a Simpson meter and a circuit diagram. If the problem is isolated
to the TCC-B, troubleshoot using the MR#6 circuit diagram for the TCC-B. Use
the LEH-PT Troubleshooting table to locate the symptom of the failure and its
probable cause.

4.20.1.1 Software Operation: Equipment Setup


This section describes the Equipment Setup task. The tool string configuration,
instructions for obtaining master calibration data and parameter initialization
are described in the following sections.

Equipment and Computation Manager

Verify the physical position of the Heads and Subs with Tension/Compression
Sensor tool in the toolstring. If Head Tension signals are to be acquired, make
sure the tool is immediately on top of the telemetry cartridge and that the sensor
is physically connected directly to the telemetry cartridge’s electronics.

HTEN Parameter Settings

There are three parameters associated with the Heads and Subs with
Tension/Compression Sensor. Parameter HTEN_CALI determines which set of
gain and offset to be applied to data flow. By default HTEN_CALI is “Calibration”
which dictates the use of HTEN_GAIN and HTEN_OFFSET computed from
accumulations. If HTEN_CALI is set to “Manual”, then two other parameters
HTEN_MULTIPL and HTEN_SHIFT are used in the data flow. Parameter
HTEN_MULTIPL is effectively the manual entry Gain and HTEN_SHIFT the
manual entry Offset.

Before Logging Surface Calibration

The zero reading of the tension is notably inaccurate, varying with the
hardware setup. An adjustment prior to running in the hole can be computed
from accumulations. The computed HTEN_GAIN and HTEN_OFFSET can
be overridden by manually enter and apply the gain and offset through the
parameters HTEN_MULTIPL and HTEN_SHIFT.

The Before Logging Surface task tree for the Heads and Subs with
Tension/Compression Sensor consists of two accumulation subtasks, Zero
and Plus accumulations. When both Zero and Plus accumulations are
available, computation of the HTEN_GAIN and HTEN_OFFSET will take place
automatically. The Calibration tab in Vertical Viewers shall update with the result
of the HTEN_GAIN and HTEN_OFFSET.

Zero Accumulation

When performing the Zero Accumulation, make sure to remove any weight
on the Head or Sub with tension sensor. This can be done either by laying
the tool horizontally or vertically by using the C-Plate. The Calibration tab in
Vertical Viewers shall update with the result of the Zero Measurement calibration
coefficient RHTE_ZM_BF (You might need to switch the Report Type to Average
Detail to see this).

Plus Accumulation

The Plus Reference is automatically computed from the tool string weight. This
should be verified by reading the tension from the CMTD with the entire tool
string hanging off the head/sub with tension sensor. The Plus Accumulation
should be run with this setup. The Plus Accumulation generates the Plus
Measurement RHTE_PM_BF.

This section lists the significant differences between the APS MaxWell and OP
implementations.
• OP does not support calibration task. Gain and offset are manually entered.
• MaxWell supports Head Tension Master and Before Logging Surface
calibrations.
• Normalized EU Gain and EU Offset are not available in OP and a different
value is used depending on the acquisition cartridge used.
• In OP, downhole force channels are DF and CDF associated with DTC
cartridge. In MaxWell, these channels are RHTE and HTEN associated with
Heads and Subs with Tension/Compression Sensor.

4.20.2 Troubleshooting guide


The troubleshooting guide is intended to give the engineer or technician help in
locating the probable cause of failures in the LEH-QT. If the failure is isolated
down to the loadcell, send the loadcell back to HCS for analysis and repair.

If the failure is not located in the loadcell, then the problem is either in the 31-pin
adapter or the processing electronics. Problems with the 31-pin adapter may be
found with a Simpson meter and a circuit diagram. If the problem is isolated to
the TCC-B, troubleshoot using the MR#6 circuit diagram for the TCC-B.

When ECRD-G/H is used, the weakpoint head weldment must be part number
100926943, which includes:
• Weakpoint head (100927222)
• Weakpoint head key (100926946)

In addition, the ECRD-G/H must be run with the extension rod (101595831) and
the fishing bell (100994568). The weakpoint head weldment PN 100926943, the
extension rod (101595831) and the fishing bell (100994568) are included in the
LEH-ST ECRD-G/H Installation Kit (101122790).

For more information regarding the weakpoint head weldment, refer to the FCO
in Appendix Z. For more information regarding the ECRD kit, refer to ECRD-E/F
Operations and Maintenance Manual (InTouch # 4324935).

The assembly of the LEH-ST tool is similar to the LEH-QT tool. The only
difference is that the slim 2-1/2 in downhole components are substituted for the
standard LEH-QT components. These components can be identified by referring
to the drawing H351344 (included in this manual). The uphole components on
the LEH-ST are identical to the uphole components on the LEH-QT.

Refer to the H351344 assembly drawing in the appendices section. The LEH-ST
contains the following subassemblies:
• H351340 – Bulkhead to head adapter assembly
• H245662 – Thermometer housing assembly
• H351342 – Loadcell assembly

Each of these subassemblies will have their own detailed assembly drawing and
Bill of Materials which are included in the appendices section.

4.21.3.1 Software Operation: Equipment Setup


This section describes the Equipment Setup task. The tool string configuration,
instructions for obtaining master calibration data and parameter initialization
are described in the following sections.

Equipment and Computation Manager

Verify the physical position of the Heads and Subs with Tension/Compression
Sensor tool in the toolstring. If Head Tension signals are to be acquired, make
sure the tool is immediately on top of the telemetry cartridge and that the sensor
is physically connected directly to the telemetry cartridge’s electronics.

HTEN Parameter Settings

There are three parameters associated with the Heads and Subs with
Tension/Compression Sensor. Parameter HTEN_CALI determines which set of
gain and offset to be applied to data flow. By default HTEN_CALI is “Calibration”
which dictates the use of HTEN_GAIN and HTEN_OFFSET computed from
accumulations. If HTEN_CALI is set to “Manual”, then two other parameters
HTEN_MULTIPL and HTEN_SHIFT are used in the data flow. Parameter
HTEN_MULTIPL is effectively the manual entry Gain and HTEN_SHIFT the
manual entry Offset.

Before Logging Surface Calibration

The zero reading of the tension is notably inaccurate, varying with the
hardware setup. An adjustment prior to running in the hole can be computed
from accumulations. The computed HTEN_GAIN and HTEN_OFFSET can
be overridden by manually enter and apply the gain and offset through the
parameters HTEN_MULTIPL and HTEN_SHIFT.

The Before Logging Surface task tree for the Heads and Subs with
Tension/Compression Sensor consists of two accumulation subtasks, Zero
and Plus accumulations. When both Zero and Plus accumulations are
available, computation of the HTEN_GAIN and HTEN_OFFSET will take place
automatically. The Calibration tab in Vertical Viewers shall update with the result
of the HTEN_GAIN and HTEN_OFFSET.

Zero Accumulation

When performing the Zero Accumulation, make sure to remove any weight
on the Head or Sub with tension sensor. This can be done either by laying
the tool horizontally or vertically by using the C-Plate. The Calibration tab in
Vertical Viewers shall update with the result of the Zero Measurement calibration
coefficient RHTE_ZM_BF (You might need to switch the Report Type to Average
Detail to see this).

Plus Accumulation

The Plus Reference is automatically computed from the tool string weight. This
should be verified by reading the tension from the CMTD with the entire tool
string hanging off the head/sub with tension sensor. The Plus Accumulation
should be run with this setup. The Plus Accumulation generates the Plus
Measurement RHTE_PM_BF.

The LEH safety clamp (100047555) is not required for operations with the ECRD.
This accessory was released as a method to control the accidental release of the
ECRD-B. This issue has since been solved with the newer versions, ECRD-E.
Locations which already have this accessory may remove this tool from service.

Should the location wish to continue using the accessory for any other purpose,
extra caution should be taken when assembling the clamp to the LEH housing.
Failure reports from the field have shown that the clamp can damage the head
wires as seen below.

4.25 Fishing

4.25.1 Fishing Method


The heads with the downhole tools can be fished by the fishing kits using
different grapple sizes.

Previously, the fishing kit SFT-157 (H244869, Obsolete) and the slimhole fishing
kit SFT-404 (H360171, Obsolete) which engage the fishing neck on the heads
were used. It has been discovered that tool retrieval by engaging the larger and
longer tool body increases the chance of tool recovery in comparison to the
retrieval by catching logging heads.

The fishing kit SFT-644 (100121542, Tool OD from 2-3/8 in to 3-5/8 in), the
slimhole fishing kit SFT-651 (100121468, Tool OD from 1-11/16 in to 2-3/8 in) and
the fishing kit SFT -709 (10030755, Tool OD from 2-3/8 in to 3-5/8 in, for thick
wall drillpipes) are the currently standard fishing kits. These fishing kits catch the
tool body instead of the fishing neck on the heads.

During the preparation of the fishing downhole assembly, it is important to identify


the sizes of the tool and head being fished and use a new grapple of the correct
size. For more details of fishing operation, refer to Wireline Fishing Manual
(InTouch # 4172213).

Alternatively, the 3rd party fishing tools such as OTIS fishing tools can be used
on the wireline or slickline. The tool engages the industry standard fishing neck
of the MH-22, PEH-E, PEH-EF/ EFA, PEK-KD and PEH-L. This is the most
common method of fishing in holes smaller than 4.5 in ID. With this method, the
weakpoint is pulled out before the fishing operation.

When the weakpoint is pulled from the PEH-E/EF/L/KD, the upper housing
comes out of the hole with the cable, exposing the industry standard fishing neck.

Figure 4-58: The industry standard fishing neck appears after upper housing
is pulled with the weakpoint (PEH-E/EF/L/KD)

When the weakpoint is pulled from the logging equipment head, the outer
housing (H701907, 1.75 in OD) is pulled off when the weakpoint is broken during
fishing. For PEH-AB, Split Torpedo Housing (H105314, 1.469 OD) is pulled off
when the weakpoint is broken.

5.2 O-ring Practices


O-rings are vital to the successful operation of all Schlumberger tools.
Schlumberger uses O-rings in every downhole tool. Proper maintenance of
O-rings and the grooves they fit in is vital to the integrity of the seal. Missing
O-rings are a cause of many downhole failures; usually resulting in lost time
failures and damaged equipment.

An O-ring seals pressure by plugging a small gap through which fluid can pass
if the O-ring were not there. See the figure below. The fluid pressure pushes
the O-ring material into the gap, plugging it and gaining an effective seal. As
the pressure increases on the fluid side of the O-ring, the O-ring deforms and
moves further into the gap. If the pressure and temperature limits of the O-ring
are exceeded, extrusion failure occurs. The result is a flooded tool. This is one
good reason to never substitute O-rings.

Quality Note
Never substitute O-rings with O-rings that have a different part number, even
when they are the same size. Always use the exact O-ring part number that is
called for in the tool assembly drawing.

5.3.1 Lubriplate Grease (B013366)


Lubriplate is general-purpose grease used for a variety of lubricating needs,
including field joint threaded rings, O-rings, and other general purpose uses.

It is a high-temperature grease, but usually is washed out after just a few trips
downhole. Lubricate threaded rings on both sides, after every job, while breaking
down the tool. Use it on O-ring installation tools in order to slide the O-ring into
place. Use it on O-rings to help the mating part slide on without damaging the
O-ring. It can be used up to 400 degF (204 degC).

5.3.2 Rutherford Slick-Stuf #4 Grease (B022197)


Rutherford grease effectively prevents galling of threads and prevents freezing
of shop joints with dried mud. Its use with shop joints is important since these
joints are unscrewed less often than field joints. Rutherford contains small Teflon
particles, which help its anti-galling features. If you are having trouble with
threads galling, lubricate with "Rutherford Red" and see if the galling goes away.

If it fails to go away, submit a sustaining request.

Mystik JT-6 High Performance Marine Grease is a red color smooth but tacky
grease with outstanding water resistance. It is designed to provide excellent
lubrication for greased chassis points and other wet-environment applications
with the following features. It can be used in the applications with the temperature
from 400 to 500 degF (204 to 260 degC).
• Water insoluble, excellent water resistance
• Rust, corrosion and wear protection
• Extreme Pressure (EP), shock load and fretting wear (vibration) protection
• Compatible with commonly used lithium, lithium complex and calcium based
greases

5.3.4 Krytox GPL-206 Grease (B039179)


Krytox GPL-206 grease are white fluorinated synthetic greases that are non
reactive, non flammable, safe in chemical and oxygen services, and are long
lasting. It is rated to 500 degF (260 degC) and can be used on the O-rings
and backup rings in the head. Heating above 500 degF (260 degC) may form
potentially toxic fluorine compounds.

5.3.5 DC-111 (B-021698)


DC-111 is used mainly as a fluid and mud excluder. Heads are packed with
DC-111 to keep them from filling with mud. This prevents damage that mud
can do when left in a head, such as corrosion, freezing and stressing of the
weakpoint, freezing moving parts, etc. Since mud causes many problems, its
elimination is important. DC-111 is quite good at excluding mud and remaining
in place.

However, DC-111 has its drawbacks. DC-111 can cause galling on threaded
parts, and it makes BCC sealing less effective. Always make up BCC
connections dry, and only pack them with DC-111 if called out in the instructions.
The DC-111 may be cleaned off the BCC and feedthroughs, using degreaser

(B033239) that is available in a spray can. Many locations in warmer climates


have elected to avoid the DC-111 packing, instead preferring to washout the
head after each job. In cold climates; however, it is necessary to pack the head
with DC-111 to avoid stressing s when the mud freezes.

Silicon DC-200 is not grease, but instead an insulating, inert silicone oil. Silicon
oil is primarily used for oil-baths, especially in electrical applications since it is a
good insulator. Silicon oil is used in both the oil-filled (LEH-QO) and the tension
heads (LEH-QT). In the LEH-QO, DC-200 provides an insulating environment
(oil-bath) around the booted feedthrough. In the LEH-QT, DC-200 provides an
oil-bath for the tension sensor.

5.4 Worn Parts Replacement Guidelines

Note
When replacing spirol pins, groove pins, screws and other commercial item
parts, always use the SWS B-number part called out in the assembly drawing.
Never substitute a fastener with another part, either a Schlumberger part with a
different number or a locally purchased part.

5.4.1 Pins
Pins are vital components in heads. If pins are called for on the print, USE THEM.
Make sure they are installed before going downhole. They are there for good
a reason. Most often, in heads, pins prevent backoff of threaded parts. If the
threaded parts backoff downhole, you have trouble, sometimes serious trouble.

Do not substitute pins. Use exactly the pin called for by part number on the
assembly print. The pin should fit the hole tightly, requiring the firm use of a
hammer and the correct size punch. If the pin slides in easily, it will fall out easily
too. This indicates the part is worn and must be replaced. To maximize the life
of parts that use pins, make sure you use the correct pin and use a punch that
matches the pin diameter to install and remove the pin.

5.4.2 Groove Pins


Some heads use groove pins instead of spirol pins. The groove pin normally has
better pin retention and higher shear strength than a spirol pin. Groove pins are
solid and have several grooves running axially along the pin. These pins have a
slight taper, so one end is smaller than the other. Insert the groove pin small end
first, and remove it by reversing it out in the opposite direction. This keeps the
mating part from being "wallowed out" and having a loose fit.

Never substitute a spirol pin for a groove pin.

5.4.3 Screws
Damaged and worn screws cause equipment failures and head damage. Make
sure that screw threads are clean and not worn. It takes only a small burr to
cause problems when installing screws. Check that the screw head or hex socket
head is not worn. If it is, replace it. Again, you must use only the exact part called
for on the print. Do not go to the local hardware store to replace screws. Use
only the B# part called for on the print. The screws have been specially selected
by the designer for their material, strength, and other special characteristics of
which you may not be aware. The parts from the local hardware store may be
made of inferior material, or may not match requirements of the design. Replace
SWS parts only with the appropriate SWS part.

Screws must be made up with the proper torque level. If too loose, the part
backs off. If too tight, the screw threads may strip and fail. With hex socket
wrenches, the screw should be tightened to the point that when loosened a
notable "CLACK" is heard. Use a torque wrench whenever a makeup torque is
specified on the assembly drawing.

5.4.4 Threaded Parts


Thread a new screw into any threaded hole that feels or looks worn. If the new
screw is not sufficiently tight, the part is worn and must be replaced. If in doubt,
check the tightness on a newer tool and compare the two. The threaded part
will wear eventually, since many screws have been run in and out of it. A part or
screw that is found loose after running in the well probably indicates the screw or
threaded hole is worn (assuming it was tight when you went in the hole). Do not
ignore this symptom; replace the worn part before placing the head in service.

5.10.5.1 LEH-HT, LEH-MT, and LEH-QT Shop Calibration Procedure

The purpose of the calibration is to obtain the “gain” and “offset” for the loadcell.
The GAIN numbers have been shown to be remarkably stable during the field
test of the LEH-QT, so there is some question as to whether a shop cal is
necessary. If you want to check the response of your LEH-QT, do a shop cal. If
you want to do a real calibration, and use the GAIN generated by the calibration,
use the digital tension calibrator, TDC-C.

The LEH-QT is calibrated on the new digital calibrator, TDC-C, the same
calibrator that is used for the CMTD and TD-K. One additional adapter is
required, in additional to a special 31-pin jumper cable. All necessary parts
(except the TDC-C) are included in the LEH-QT shop kit (H701900). The
following items are required to perform the shop calibration. See the “Shop
Calibration Equipment” table below.

B033777 6 washers, 3.8-in. zinc plated
1 DTC-A or TCC-B modified
1 Maxis or CSU-D
1 OP16 or higher

If your location has a TDC-A (calibrator for TD-K), you must order the TDC-A
to TDC-B Conversion Kit (H441324) AND a TDC-B to a TDC-C conversion kit
(H713131) or you may order a complete TDC-C assembly (H713140) which
includes the TDC-C plus all adapters required to calibrate a CMTD.

Remove the fishing neck, torpedo, weakpoint assembly, and 2-3/4 in to 3-3/8
in adapter from the head. Looking up should be the loadcell, (still mounted in
the head) with head leads dangling. Secure the head leads so they do not get
damaged during the calibration. Screw the 7/16-20 bolt (with washers installed)
into the top of the loadcell. Engage at least 1/2-in of thread.

Note
Jumper cable (H713121) must be used to calibrate. Do not use any old 31-pin
jumper.

Run the other end of the 31-pin jumper through the lower adapter. Screw the
lower adapter onto the LEH-QT. Pin the clevis (H701457) onto the bottom of the
lower adapter (H352097) using pin (B033499).

Install the LEH-QT assembly into the base of the TDC-B by pinning the clevis to
the TDC frame, using the large pin that is part of the TDC-B. Install the upper
rope socket support onto the tensile rod leading from the dial indicator or digital
tension calibrator. Place the bolt at the top end of the loadcell in the upper rope
socket support, with the washers inside the rope socket support to carry the load.

Connect the other end of the 31-pin jumper into the UH of the DTC or modified
TCC-B. Fire up the Maxis and get the I/O monitor on display. SET THE GAIN =
1.0. SET THE OFFSET = 0.0 in the DTC-A Tool Signals table. If you fail to do
this step, your calibration will be off.

Figure 5-2: LEH-QT shop calibration setup

Make sure the calibrated tension rod is at equilibrium temperature. In other


words, the calibrated tension rod must be temperature stable before using it.
The device is very sensitive to temperature gradients, and if any are present
during calibration, the zero will shift and the calibration will be worthless. Zero
the calibrated tension rod by lightly tapping the dial indicator and adjusting the
dial face to zero the needle.

If you are using the new digital tension calibrator, TDC-C, the load being applied
to the LEH-QT can be read directly from the digital readout meter. No "Calibration
Charts" are necessary. Note that the load is read in K lbs, or thousand pounds,
with two decimal points, so resolution is 10 lbs on the digital system. DO NOT
LOAD THE LEH-QT WITH MORE THAN 8.0K lbs.

Power up the tool and let the transducer warm up for 10-15 minutes. Make sure
there is no tension or compression on the loadcell. If you bleed the hydraulic
pump on the TDC off completely, the upper rope socket support will come to rest
on top of the loadcell, and place a slight compressive force on the loadcell. This
will affect your calibration. Make sure that the hydraulic piston is in a position
such that there is neither tension or compression on the loadcell. Record the
zero-load measurement on the LEH-QT calibration chart, after warm up.

of pressure, or you will not get stable readings. Repeat the measurements
in 1,000 lbs. increments until an 8,000 lbs. load is reached, and record that
value. Remove the load (bleed off the pressure) and check to make sure the
zero-reading is within one division of zero. The Maxis Downhole Force should
also have returned to its previous zero-reading, within 25 lbs. Calibrate only in
the direction of increasing tension to minimize the effects of hysteresis. Fill in the
Corrected Maxis DF column by adding the offset to each entry in the previous
column. Figure 5-3 shows an LEH-QT calibration chart correctly filled out.

Once the calibration is complete, you will have to perform some easy calculations
to find the Gain for the LEH-QT.
Gain = 8,000 / corrected Maxis DF @ 8,000 lb. load
Offset = -1 * Maxis DF @ zero tension.

The LEH-QT can be run without a shop calibration, by plugging in the GAIN
for your specific loadcell, (supplied by HCS) and doing a quick zero-offset
measurement at the wellsite, prior to going in the hole. Be sure there is zero
tension on the weakpoint before making this zero measurement, either by doing
the measurement while horizontal on the catwalk, or by putting in the makeup
plate and setting down the toolstring vertically on the rig floor. Values for GAIN
and OFFSET are then entered into the software, to get accurate tension output

4. Connect the 31-pin jumper (100514576) to the LEH-PT.

Note
Jumper cable (100514576) must be used for calibration. Do not use the
normal 31-pin jumper (T1037402) since it does not have the proper type of
wires for the load cell lines, inducing noise that will affect the calibration
results.

5. Run the other end of the 31-pin jumper through the TDC adapter.

The purpose of the calibration is to obtain the “gain” and “offset “for the loadcell.
The logging head is calibrated on the TDC-C and necessary parts (except for the
TDC-C) are included in the LEH-ST shop calibration kit (100520654). The items
in Table 5-19are required to perform the shop calibration.

1. Remove the fishing bell, torpedo and weakpoint assembly from the head.
2. Looking up should be the load cell, (still mounted in the head) with head
leads dangling. Secure the head leads so they do not get damaged during
the calibration.
3. Screw the 7/16-20 bolt (with washers installed) into the top of the load cell.
Engage at least 1/2-in of thread.
4. Connect the 31-pin jumper (100509872) to the LEH-ST.

Note
Jumper cable (100509872) must be used for calibration. Do not use the
normal 31-pin jumper (H351719) since it does not have the proper type of
wires for the load cell lines, inducing noise that will affect the calibration
results.

5. Run the other end of the 31-pin jumper through the TDC adapter.
6. Screw the lower adapter onto the LEH-ST.
7. Pin the clevis (H701457) onto the bottom of the TDC adapter (100508340)
using pin (B033499).

10. Place the bolt at the top end of the load cell in the upper rope socket support,
with the washers inside the rope socket support to carry the load.

Quality Note
Do not allow the TDC loadcell to rest on the LEH loadcell. It will place a
compressive force of 30 lbf on the loadcell, altering your zero measurement.

11. Connect the other end of the 31-pin jumper into the UH of the STGC.
12. Start the Maxis and get the I/O monitor on display.
13. SET THE GAIN = 1.0. SET THE OFFSET = 0.0 in the STGC Tool Signals
table.
If you fail to do this step, your calibration will be off.

LEH-ST

8.1 General Description


The weakpoint is an intentional weak link between the cable and the head. Its
purpose is to provide a means of pulling the cable off the logging tool should the
need arise. There are several different types of weakpoints for different heads,
but the purpose of all of them is the same; to be the first point of separation
under an increasing pull at the surface.

The heart of the weakpoint is a tightly toleranced, small diameter section of a


special heat-treated stainless steel alloy. The material is heat-treated to obtain
certain properties that make it fail under a tensile pull in a predictable manner.
This closely machined piece is then packaged in the rest of the weakpoint
assembly, which may include rubber coating (for corrosion protection), a cover
sleeve (to prevent damage by torque or bending), or mass-isolation in the case
of the bridle head.

There are three different weakpoint types in use in SWS heads:


• Solid
• Flexible, also known as cable weakpoints
• Electrically Released Devices known as ECRD or ERS (Details are not
covered in this manual. Refer to ECRD & ERS Reference Page (InTouch #
3296455) for more details.)

heads for explosive services. Flexible weakpoints must be used for explosive
operations, such as gun strings or other services that involve shock loading
of the weakpoint. The flexible weakpoint is less susceptible to unintentional
separation under shock-loading conditions.

If an LEH or a XHUH is required for tractor operations involving explosive


services, an ECRD can be used. The ECRD cannot be used in conjunction with
a tandem rigid weakpoint. A WPSA must be ran in conjunction with the ECRD to
reduce the perforation shock on the ECRD bobbin.

Refer to the ECRD and tractor reference documentations for the ECRD and
tractor explosive qualifications and maintenance.

The solid weakpoints are used for normal logging operations.

The "modular" weakpoint was developed to standardize and reduce the cost of
the weakpoint. It can be used in both the LEH and PEH heads. The modular
weakpoint has been incorporated into a small, easily replaceable package that is
relatively inexpensive to replace. Since the weakpoint is a disposable part, the
cost of the part thrown away is minimized. This is what the modular weakpoint
accomplishes. The modular weakpoint has been incorporated into production
LEH and PEH heads, and should be incorporated into every location's heads, for
the cost-saving benefit.

In addition, weakpoints come in two different ratings:


• Standard - for use up to 400 degF
• Hi-temp - for use in temperatures up to 500 degF.

The tensile material of standard and HT weakpoints is IDENTICAL. The


differences between standard and HT weakpoints are:
• HT weakpoints are bare metal.
• Standard weakpoints have a rubber coating on the metal.

The rubber covering on the standard weakpoints degrades with increasing


temperature and produces corrosive gases above 450 degF which can
deteriorate the tensile member, and can cause pitting on the metal. Therefore,
it is not used on hi-temp weakpoints. But below 400 degF, the rubber coating

8-3 Heads ORM and MM Volume I / Weakpoints 8-3

protects the standard weakpoint from well fluids, and allows the weakpoint to be
used for a longer period of time. The rubber material is made of Aflas or Tefzel.
Older weakpoints had neoprene coating on them, and they are now obsolete.

Occasionally, we set out to break the weakpoint, and break the cable instead.
Needless to say, this results in a time-consuming and difficult fishing job. This
can happen for several different reasons, including:
1. The cable, not the tool, is stuck downhole, so the weakpoint never sees
the increased tension.
2. The hole is deviated or dog-legged to such a degree that the increased pull
at the surface never makes it to the weakpoint, and the pull is taken by the
cable instead.
3. The cable is in such poor shape, either from wear or corrosion, that it breaks
much sooner than expected (before the weakpoint).
4. The weakpoint was chosen improperly, and too strong a weakpoint was
run in the head.

Other strange things can happen downhole that can affect how much tension the
weakpoint is seeing. It is best to have a downhole measurement of tension on
the weakpoint, provided by the LEHs with a loadcell, ACTS or HTCS. Of these,
only the LEHs with a loadcell provide a direct measurement of tension on the
weakpoint. The others measure tension pull on the tool string, provided the
tool is stuck at or below the tension-measuring sonde. If your head gets stuck
coming into a bridge (fairly common), neither the HTCS or ACTS will see the
increase in tension, even though it is being exerted directly on the weakpoint.
The result could be an unexpected pull-off.

Note
When the wellbore dynamics is expected to generate high gun shock loads, it
is recommended to contact Perforating Domain Champions and use the PURE
Job Planner software (InTouch # 3458697) which can predict gun shock loads
on completion tools in under balance jobs to optimize gun strings configuration
which can reduce Unintentional Pull Off risk. Also, consider to use the shock
absorbers to reduce the high gun shocks. For more details about the perforating
gun shock, refer to InTouch Announcement # 2023893.

The general rule is to use the strongest weakpoint available to pull a stuck tool
at TD without exceeding the Safe Working Load (SWL) of the Wireline cable
in use. The weakpoint must also be strong enough to carry the weight of the
tool string under normal logging operations. In some extreme cases, an ECRD
(Electrically Controlled Release Devices) or ERS (Electrical Release Sub) must
be considered in place of a standard mechanical weakpoint.

Select a cable (flexible) weakpoint in instances where high shock loading may
occur, such as heavy, HSD gun strings. Cable weakpoints are available for
PEH-AB and PEH-EF/ EFA heads. Always discuss difficult, special or critical
weakpoint selections with your manager, who will know of the local conditions. If
the calculation is borderline, it is better to choose toward the smaller weakpoint,
considering the difference between pulling off a tool and breaking a cable in
the well.

There are two methods for weakpoint selection:


• Standard Linear Equation Method
• Tool Planner Software Method

Per WL-QHSE-S03-WC, Refer to the Tension model in the Schlumberger Tool


Planner when choosing a weakpoint; this is essential for non-vertical wells.

Refer to Unintentional Pull-Off Prevention Technology-Based Training (InTouch #


4009311) for more details of weakpoint selection.

Spider weakpoint selection and Tool Planner Software Method are not covered
in this section. Refer to Unintentional Pull-off Prevention TBT (InTouch Content
4009311) for more details.

To decide which mechanical weakpoint to use, you will need to know some
parameters.

Quality Note
Many examples include a cable buoyancy factor to compensate for weight lost
due to buoyancy (float). This buoyancy effect will be somewhat offset by friction
when the cable is moving uphole. This friction is difficult to predict and accurately
calculate. For these reasons, the cable buoyancy effect will not be used for
this exercise. The deletion of this effect is actually a slightly more conservative

wells with heavy fluids, the cable buoyancy effect is considerable and must be
included. Tool Buoyancy is a considerable factor and will be considered later.

Breaking Strength + WCM
Minimum Weakpoint Breaking – – lbf LWP – WTM + TN or LWP +
Strength WCM

Taking the same example as in Table 8-3 (Yellow weakpoint, 4,800-5,400 lbf),

MSP = 0.75 x LWP + WCM = 0.75 x 4,800 + WCA * = 0.75 x 4,800 + 333 x
12 = 3,600 + 3,996= 7,596 lbs

Maximum Weakpoint Breaking Strength = UWP + WCM = UWP + WCA * = 5,400


+ 333 x 12 = 5,400 + 3,996= 9,396 lbs

Minimum Weakpoint Breaking Strength = LWP + WCM = UWP + WCA * = 4,800


+ 333 x 12 = 4,800 + 3,996= 8,796 lbs

Note
Many examples include a cable buoyancy factor to compensate for weight lost
due to buoyancy (float). This buoyancy effect will be somewhat offset by friction
when the cable is moving uphole. This friction is difficult to predict and accurately
calculate. For these reasons, the cable buoyancy effect will not be used for
this exercise. The deletion of this effect is actually a slightly more conservative
method of selecting a weak point. Please keep in mind, that in deep wells or
wells with heavy fluids, the cable buoyancy effect is considerable and must be
included. Tool Buoyancy is a considerable factor and will be considered later.

8.4 Weakpoint Temperature Corrections

8.4.1 Flexible and Solid Weakpoint Temperature


Correction
The strength of the weakpoint is temperature dependent. Weakpoints (both
standard and hi-temp ones) experience a reduction in strength with temperature.
The strength will be reduced by 4% per 100 degF (38 degC) increase in
temperature above 75 degF (24 degC). The reduction in strength at various
temperatures is listed in Table 8-5. Note that this temperature effect is not

cumulative; that is, the weakpoint recovers its full strength when returned to
room temperature, so long as the weakpoint has not been pulled to more than
75% of its lower break strength

8.4.2 Spider Weakpoint Temperature Correction


Spider Weakpoint strength should be corrected for temperature effect in the
same manner as solid and flexible weakpoints. Table 8-5can be used for all
steel armor cables (GIPS/ XS/ XXS) other than HC265 and MP35N alloy armor
cables. HC265 and MP35N alloy armor cables do not have an empirical dataset
from which temperature corrections may be determined for spider weakpoints.

8.5 Weakpoint Operations


1. Never go in the hole without knowing, FOR CERTAIN, what weakpoint is
HCS Sustaining Engineering\Kevin Zanca, Hai Vo\InTouch Content ID 3012542\4.0\Release Date:23-Mar-2018\EDMS UID: 275261732\Produced: 23-Mar-2018 04:07:36

installed in your head. When you are stuck downhole is no time to wonder
what weakpoint you have installed in the head.
2. DO NOT PULL OVER 75% of the lower weakpoint rating, unless pulling off
is acceptable to the client.
3. Be aware that the strength of weakpoints is temperature dependent.
The strength will be reduced by 4% per 100 degF (38 degC) increase in
temperature above 75 degF (24 degC). So, a weakpoint's strength at 475
degF (246 degC) will be reduced by 16%. This temperature effect is not
cumulative; that is, the weakpoint recovers its full strength when returned
to room temperature
4. Be aware that your tension-measuring device is not 100% accurate. Your
cable weight calculation will have some error, as will your tool weight in mud
number. These sources of error are the reason for the 75% of weakpoint
rating pull restriction. Any time you exceed 75%, you could be in danger of
pulling off, due to these error sources.
5. Use a downhole measurement of tension (LEHs with a loadcell, ACTS,
HTCS) in sticky or deviated holes to determine more accurately what you
are pulling on the weakpoint.
6. Remember the limitations of the ACTS and HTCS, if it is the head that is
stuck. These tools will not see the tension increase, but the weakpoint will.
7. In addition, several over-pulls during previous jobs can have an effect on the
weakpoint strength too (both standard and HT weakpoints alike). Also, if the
head is jerked or tension is applied too fast, it can cause a premature failure.

8.6 Weakpoint Maintenance


All weakpoints must be replaced as part of TRIM or SLS-1 as defined in RITE.
Different heads may have different trigger.

When performing explosive severing/cutting operations a new flexible weakpoint


must be installed in the head prior to running in hole. The flexible weakpoint
must be replaced after one (1) severing/cutting job.

be junked.

If any of the items below occurs, the weakpoint must be changed out immediately:
1. Change out any weakpoint that has been pulled more than 75% of its lower
break strength.
2. Change out any weakpoint that has been exposed to temperatures higher
than its rated temperature.
3. Change out any weakpoint that has been exposed to freezing conditions in a
head with no grease.
4. Change out any weakpoint that is even marginally longer than a normal
weakpoint. This means the weakpoint has yielded, due to a pull or shock
load, and may fail at any time.
5. Change out any weakpoint that is bent, even slightly.
6. Change out any weakpoint if the head history / weakpoint history is unknown.
7. Change out any weakpoint that has signs of corrosion (pitting / blackened
areas after being washed).
8. Solid and flexible weakpoints are not H2S or acid resistant; therefore, they
must not be used in H2S or acid environments.
9. Any weakpoint exposed to high chlorides requires replacement after every
job.
Any weakpoint inadvertently exposed to H2S or acid environment requires
replacement immediately.

Corrosion on the weakpoint caused unintentional pull off.


The solid weakpoints being used in the field are made from 17-4 stainless steel.
While this material is not susceptible to rusting like carbon steels, it is highly
susceptible to oxygen pitting corrosion when exposed to brine solutions. There
have been two recent UPOs where the weakpoints broke below specification
due to corrosion. The figure below shows a weakpoint from an LEH head that
failed. Notice the blackened areas on the surface of the weakpoint near the
break. These are the pits caused by chloride attack.
