The purpose of this book is to assist operating personnel in maintenance of the tool, We believe the positioning tool is the best available equipment for servicing sidepocket mandrels, but proper maintenan- Ce is essential for optimum performance. 2.0 FEATURES ‘To. compliment the TP and TMP series mandrels, Teledyne Merla developed the TP and TMP positioning tools to make wireline work more efficient, particularly in deviated wells. ‘The positioning tool, when used with TP or TMP mandrels, performs three very important functions; ie, (1) locates the mandrel, (2) orients in the proper azimuth and (3) laterally offsets the valve or pulling tool into position over the pocket for setting or pulling the valve from the mandrel. Operation of the tool is not complicated and design features have been incorporated to make it easy to service and practical to use. For example, only the shear pin in the locator key must be replaced after each trip. Pin replacement requires no disassembly and may be performed easily with the tool hanging in the lubricator. Running and pulling, therefore, can be accomplished rapidly. Once the locator key pin is. sheared as the valve is either set or pulled, the tool locks in a rigid position and may be raised or lowered through other mandrels—a very important feature in the event of a fishing job. The tools cross-sectional outside profile plus internal porting provides ample fluid bypass to insure rapid running and pulling. Each positioning tool is designed to operate in one specific tubing size and for one specific valve size, The running and pulling procedure and principle of operation are identical for all models. Figures 1 and 2, and Tables 1 and 2 contain descriptive information for each tool ‘The number is stamped into this area of each tool act DT [2a => FIGURE 1 SERIAL NUMBER LOCATION \\ [ “G” Reference: T “D" Maximum.

In the Slot in the housing, 2. In the 6/16 in, holes in the housing. 3. Between the pivot arm and the housing stop with the tool activated, 4, Around the trigger. 5. Inalll accessible joints. After each 24 hours of use or before the tool is stored or shipped, the plunger assembly should be pulled, cleaned, and lubricated. The lower adapter end should be washed in solvent and oiled at the joint end and into the ball cavity. We recommend the use of Dow Coming FS-3451 grease on the plunger and the internal surface of the housing to provide additional corrosion resistance. 4.0 PROCEDURE FOR PULLING A GAS LIFT VALVE FROM A MANDREL, lithe host mandrel to be serviced was manufactured by Teledyne Merla, make sure that itis dimensionally compatible with too! dimensions G, D, and W as listed in Table 1. Use a screwdriver to align the locator key with the trigger and install a 1/16 in, brass sheer pin, see Figure 3.

A noticeable increase on the weight indicator will occur when the tool has reached the end of the slot. If the locator key misses the orienting slot, lower the tool through the mandrel and repeat the proce- dure. ‘Once the key is located in the slot, gradually increase tie tension on the weight indicator the additional amount shown in Table 3.

Because of the increased friction caused by corkscrewed tubing in some wells, the actual force applied at the tool will be. ‘much less than indicated at the surface. Normal procedure may now be followed for jarring the latch to its release position and remo from the pocket. 19 the valve ‘As the valve is being pulled from the pocket, the upward travel will cause the trigger to reorient in the pos tioning sleeve. Additional jarring will shear the 3/16 in. pin holding the guide key in place. Once this is done, the tool will no longer orient in each mandrel as it is pulled to the surface. As the tool is pulled through the orienting sleeve, the kicked-over arm of the tool will straighten and lock in position. This fea~ ture eliminates unnecessary wear on the tool and valve due to rubbing on the tubing walls during with- drawal When the positioning tool is back on the surface, the only necessary operation, other than removing the valve from the pulling tool, is to re-pin the key in the trigger. The key and trigger may be lined up by hand, the old pin tapped out and the new pin inserted without disassembly of the tool, see Figure 3. ~\5A 5.2 5.3. 5.4 55 5.6 57 58 5.9 5.10 5.11 5.0 PROCEDURE FOR INSTALLING A GAS LIFT VALVE IN THE MANDREL It the host mandrel to be serviced was not manufactured by Teledyne Merla, make sure that itis dimen- sionally compatible with tool dimensions G, D, and Was listed in Table 1. Use a screwdriver to align the locator key with the trigger and install a 9/16 in, brass shear pin, see Figure 3, ‘Screw the running tool into the positioning tool and pin the gas lift valve in the running tool, Install a knuck- le joint between the jar and the positioning tool. * CAUTION * WHEN MAKING UP AND TIGHTENING JOINTS, USE WRENCH FLAT LOCATIONS. DO NOT TORQUE THE PIVOT PINS. Lower the tool several feet past the target mandrel, Do not run the tool below the next lower mandrel be- cause the tool cannot be pulled back through the mandrel without shearing the locator key pin. Once the pin is sheared, the tool can not orient or kick-over. Slowly raise the tool until the locator key engages the orienting sleeve. Further upward movement causes the positioning too! to rotate until the key enters the slot. A noticeable increase in weight will be shown on icator when the tool has traveled to the end of the slot. If the locator key misses the orienting slot, lower the tool past the mandrel and repeat the procedure. ‘Once the key is located in the slot, gradually increase the force by the additional amount shown in Table 3. This will kick-over the tool and latch it into position. Alter the specified additional force has been reached, lower the valve slowly into the pocket. The possibil- ty of damage to the valve or the latch is minimized because the positioning tool automatically aligns the valve with the pocket. Loss of tool weight is a positive sign that the valve is entering the pocket. If for any reason the valve missed the pocket, as indicated by a lack of weight loss, repeat the process beginning in paragraph 5. and increase the extra pull as shown in Table 3 by 100 pounds. Because of the Increased friction caused by corkscrewed tubing in some wells, the actual force applied at the too! will be much less than that indicated at the surface. Normal procedure may now be followed for jarring the valve into place and separating the valve from the tool ‘Atter the tool is separated from the valve, the upward travel will cause the too! trigger to reorient in the positioning sleeve. Upward jaring will shear the 3/16 in. pin holding the guide key in place. Once this is done, the tool will no longer orient in each mandrel as it is pulled to the surface. As the tool is pulled through the orienting sleeve, the kicked-over arm of the tool will straighten and lock in position, This fear ture eliminates: unnecessary wear on the tool due to rubbing on the tubing walls on the trip to the sur face. When the positioning tool is back on the surface, the only necessary operation before attaching another valve is to re-pin the key in the trigger. The key and trigger may be lined up by hand and the old shear pin replaced without disassembly of the tool, see Figure 3. ~(— > 6.0 FIELD CHECK PROCEDURES When difficulty is encountered during the installation or removal of a valve from a sidepocket mandrel, the reason for the difficulty may lie in the operating procedure, the positioning tool, or down-hole conditions. The following test is required to confirm that the positioning tool is operating properly. After confirming the proper functioning of the positioning tool, check the operations procedures, and finally concentrate on completion equip- ment variations. wa tit valve ‘Cunning tot Kuehl ft Hoisting plug Pivot arm Main housing a ead FIGURES 6.1 Check the spring return of the knuckle joint. ‘A Lock the tool in the straight position, B.

Check the knuckle joint by moving the dummy valve until the valve is parallel with the main housing; then release it. The valve should return to an inline position with the pivot arm. Failure to return to a proper position indicates a weak knuckle spring or a stiff pivot joint. If necessary, shim under the ‘spring, but do not shim so much as to prevent full knuckle joint action. For TMP tools, shim with a flat washer for a #8 screw; for TP tools, use a flat washer for a 1/4 in, bolt. Check to see that the knuckle ioint pivot allows the valve to be parallel with the main housing before bottoming on the pivot arm. F. The pivot arm should remain locked in the kicked-over position while the dummy valve is positioned Parallel with the main housing. If not, it indicates a worn latch or weak latch spring. Place a 1/32 in. shim under the spring and repeat the test. If the shim does not correct the problem, replace the latch and spring, 6.2 Check the alignment ofthe jointed members, A.

This force is required to pass the collet into the lock recess. This feature is very important in deviated wells where forceful downward jarring is difficult. OTHER M STYLE LATCHES Other M style latches, EM and OMS, are used for special applications. The EM latch is an integral part of the EDM-14R, Teledyne Meria's equalizing dummy valve. The OMS latch is used in conjunction with the FM-12R regulator, and the SM2-14R circulating relief valve. In both instances, fluids are communicated through the particular service valve by latch bypass ports. ‘T2 LATCHES 2 latches are collet latches designed so that a minimum force is required to pass the collet into the lock recess. This feature is very important in deviated wells where forceful downward jarring may be difficult. OTHER T2 LATCHES Other T2 style latches, E2 and TFA, are used for special applications. The E2 latch is used in conjunction with equalizing dummies. The TFA latch is used elther with the FA-16R regulator in waterflood applications or with the $2-14R circulating relief valve in well control or pressure equalizing service, RAND RA LATCHES The RA and R latches may also be installed with a minimum force. The locking mechanism is a spring- loaded rotating cam that locks in the pocket locking recess. When retrieving, a shear pin is sheared and the latch release pin lifted to allow the latch cam to rotate freely out of the way. Normally, the RA latch is used in all cases except that the R latch is used in the TS mandrel. The RA latch contains two exterior O- ring seals and features a shorter cam nose. omMs = EM T2 E2 TFA RA R 20Va 10.0 2%", 2%", 372" HEAVY DUTY TMP POSITIONING TOOL SUPPLEMENT ‘This supplement contains the necessary information to distinguish the HD (heavy duty) from the standard position- ing tool. The HD version of the basic positioning tool has been field tested and proven to have superior wear pro- erties and performance. Eventually the HD version will be available for all sizes of positioning tools. 10.1 DIMENSIONS External The tools are interchangeable; an HD tool of a given size can be used any place a standard tool can be used. The HD tool has a more narrow trigger and is shorter than standard tools; therefore, it may be used in some non-Merla mandrels. See dimension chart (Table 10) for exact comparison. Internal Component pieces must have the same part number to be interchangeable between the stan- dard and the HD positioning tool. Most parts are not interchangeable because of internal dimensional differences. nee “D" Maximum. i Gas Lift Valve a 1 1 Faning Head Tre topass im Ba ‘8° Nipple LD. MR Running Too!

The HD too! pins are not retained by set screws, Three grooves on one end of the pin secure the pin when itis. driven in place. The pins should be driven out the opposite way that they were installed, see Figure 29. The groove pin may be used several times and may be inserted from either side. FIGURE 29 Groove Pin installation 10.4 MATERIALS ‘The standard tool is constructed of alloy steel. Additional features of the HD tool include: 1. Heat-treated tool stee! for the trigger, key, pivot arm components, and the lower adapter to reduce wear and improve shock resistance during jarring. 2, Heat-treated stainless steel for the main housing and plunger to improve corrosion resistance in salt atmospheres and to be more resistant to down hole corrosion. 3. Elgiloy for the latch and linger adapter springs. In most cases a stronger spring is incorporated to im- prove kick-over reliability and eliminate the need of adding shims to weak springs. 22
