RigSense™ Wellsite Information System
RigSense™ Wellsite Information System
 You wanted a system that was easy to use...so we
made it that way! You demanded simplicity, and simple
it is! You needed productivity features, things like nota-
tion, messaging, remote data transfer and communica-
tion!
Introducing RigSense – the highly advanced, yet
amazingly easy to use drilling instrumentation system
from M/D Totco. RigSense combines reliable comput-
ers, advanced wireless networking and a state-of-the-
art display to provide drillers and other key personnel
around the rigsite instant access to critical drilling data.
RigSense reaches far beyond current instrumentation,
displays and drilling recorders with its touchscreen, NT
TracerTM multifunction display. Much more than just a
drillfloor monitor, NT Tracer allows the driller to config-
ure screens to display drilling information that best
suits his needs. NT Tracer allows data to be viewed
numerically or in graphs. Alarm conditions are indi-
cated by a readily identifiable red background; alarm
parameters are easily modified for changing conditions
and rig activity.
With the touch of a finger, NT Tracer becomes a dog-
house recorder. Taking the place of old-fashioned pen
and paper recorders, NT Tracer records all rig activity
for up to 100 days. Records are searchable and can be
viewed at a variety of resolutions. NT Tracer also func-
tions as an interface, allowing rig personnel to access
historical information, make notations and send mes-
sages to communicate with other displays on the rig.
Instrumentation and Controls
 All of these capabilities are available to any NT Tracer
on the RigSense system, any time! NT Tracer displays
are certified for hazardous areas and can be located
anywhere you need access to rig information.
Ease of use and adaptability isn’t limited to the drill
floor either! The same functionality available to the
driller is available to the drilling engineer, rig supervisor
and other key rig personnel. RigSense workstations
can be located virtually anywhere around the rig to
provide the same consistent, high quality information
to the company man, tool pusher and mud engineer.
RigSense includes productivity features to increase the
efficiency of your rig and crew. Its messaging capabil-
ity allows personnel to communicate easily between
the drillfloor and onsite trailers. Scheduled messaging
can function as a convenient reminder for equipment
maintenance, drilling fluid treatments, or other time
sensitive events. And, RigSense data transfer enables
datasharing with remotely located well team members
as well as remote troubleshooting.
RigSense — it’s the right choice to make when you
need accurate, reliable drilling information. To find

Data Acquisition — Gas Monitoring
Gas Watch Sensing System  ■
™
Gas Watch
 A dependable and proven total gas sensing system,
Gas Watch exploits the latest infrared technology to
provide drillers with reliable combustible gas measure-
ment information. Functioning as a primary sensor,
Gas Watch is easily added to all existing M/D Totco
data acquisition systems.
Fast, accurate entrained gas information is essential to
well control and proper identification of production
zones. A sample rate of approximately 15 SCFH pro-
vides drillers with rapid identification of gas shows in
the return mud flow. A warning light at the sensor plus
an indication on the NT TracerTM alert personnel if the
sample flow is interrupted.
Unlike conventional catalytic gas detectors, Gas Watch
requires no calibration and is not susceptible to poi-
soning by contaminants. Source and detector aging is
automatically compensated along with compensation
for the accumulation of dirt in the optical path.
The Gas Watch system continually extracts gaseous
samples from the drilling mud via a Gas Trap — a cylin-
drical agitation chamber mounted at the mud tank.
One end of the trap is immersed in the mud to an opti-
mum level, and the swirling motion of the internal
mechanism draws mud through the chamber where a
slight vacuum provided by the control unit and
mechanical agitation releases entrained gases. Sam-
ple gas is drawn from the trap through a glycol pot to
remove moisture. Within the Control Unit, it passes
through an activated carbon purifier to absorb vapors,
aerosols, trace moisture, and particles larger than 0.5
micron before going into the infrared sensing module.
Hydrocarbon gases absorb certain wavelengths of
infrared light. By comparing the levels of absorbed
and non-absorbed infrared beams reflected through
the sample, the microprocessor computes hydrocar-
bon concentrations within the sample and outputs a 4-
20 mA signal, corresponding to display values of 0-
5,000 units of total gas. There are no chemical reac-
tions involved — no possibility of sensor poisoning as
with other measurement techniques.
Benefits:
■ Highly accurate, full range infrared sensing tech-
nology
■ Simple to install, setup, and maintain
■ Sensor pre-calibrated at factory — no tweaking
necessary
No chemical reaction in the sensor — no possibility
of sensor poisoning

sense the current the motor draws, which is propor-
tionate to that required by the rotary table, and trans-
mit the signal to the dual output signal conditioner. The
conditioner will then convert this signal to an accurate
reading on the electric meter. This dual output signal
conditioner will also drive a M/D Totco drilling recorder

Drilling Recorders
The most widely used drilling
recorder ever
No other recorder can come
close to this level of accep-
tance, excelling in accuracy,
durability, reliability, and sim-
plicity. In today’s drilling
world, an accurate correlation
of drilling conditions related to
time is essential to efficient
operations. Our Drilling
Recorders give you duplicate
12-or 24- hour strip charts
that are available in English,
metric, or SI metric measure-
ments.
Recorders are available in 2-
4- 6- and 8-pen configurations. All recorders include
drill string weight, penetration weight, and other
parameters of your choice:
Weight - This measurement is sensitive enough to
detect downhole problems such as tight hole or cave-
ins as they occur.
Penetration - This parameter is indicated on the
English chart by a short mark for each foot drilled and
a longer mark for each five feet. On metric charts, indi-
cations are at 1 /4 and full meters.
Rotary RPM - Indicates the revolutions per minute of
the rotary table, an important function for optimum
penetration.
Torque - Shows electric or hydraulic rotary torque
changes during drilling that inform the driller of forma-
tion transitions, worn bit, and tight or out-of-gauge
holes.
Pump Rate SPM - Permits accurate calculations of
fluid volume pumped into the circulating system. Com-
parison of pump rate, fluid pressure, pit level, and flow
could help predict kick areas for offset wells.
Fluid Pressure - Provides an accurate record of fluid
system pressure. Changes in pressure indicate poten-
tial washouts, kicks, plugged bits, or numerous other
downhole problems.

strumentation
■ Rugged, simple design is easy to maintain

RF8 Rig Floor Recorder
The RF8 recorder from M/D Totco is designed specifi-
cally to avoid the usual wireline problems with its
unique ROP sensor, and does away with the traditional
wireline retriever. Wireline problems like broken and
snagged wire, along with their associated high mainte-
nance costs, are completely eliminated.
The M/D Totco Rig Floor Recorder can make drilling
safer, more efficient, and more cost effective. It pro-
vides up to 12-hour viewing of a 24-hour tractor-feed
chart, and has both hydraulic and pneumatic logic sys-
tems. Measurement inputs can be a combination of
electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic for all your rig record-
ing needs.
The Rig Floor Recorder records up to eight functions:
Channel 1 — Hook Weight
Channel 2 — Rate of Penetration (ROP)
Channel 3 — Mud Pump Pressure (or any other
hydraulic function)
Channels 4-8 — Options
ranging from all pneumatic

Drift Recorders
Drift Recorders

Controlled Vertical Drift Indicators (CVD)

Setting the Standard
Commonly known as a ‘TOTCO”, the double-recording drift indicator is the most dependable and practical method
of mechanically determining the deviation from vertical in a wellbore.
Non-vertical wellbores take a toll on the drill string in
terms of greatly increased stress and friction. Bits do
not cut as efficiently. More power is needed to rotate
and pull out of a crooked hole. Fishing jobs become
more frequent. Redrilling and mechanical hole-
straightening devices become necessary.
M/D Totco’s Drift Indicators can help you drill a verti-
cal hole. They provide the driller with extremely
accurate information at frequent intervals, so he can
maintain a controlled, vertical course.
So simple to operate, virtually any member of the
crew can operate the instrument, and he can read
the charts with ease. Everything is mechanical so no
liquid or electrical equipment is required.
The heart of the Drift Indicator System is the Double
Recorder, which consists of two main parts: an angle
indicator and a timing device. Both are sealed in a
stainless steel case.
The recorder produces a permanent record of hole
inclination by perforating a small circular chart close
to the center of the chart if you’re drilling true verti-
cal; or off-center in a concentric circle to show you the degree of deviation. Then it repeats this process a few sec-
onds later. Two perforations with the same deviation indicate an accurate record.
Instruments and charts are available in 0-7°, 8°, 14°, 16°, 21°, 24°, and 90° values.

 Very little equipment is needed to accomplish the  
recording procedure: A Double Recorder; the Go-Devil
assembly that protects it against shock, pressure, and
fluid; and a selection of various centralizing equipment.
A variety of Go-Devil assemblies are available depend-
ing upon the desired method of running the tool, from
free-dropping to sandlines to core barrel adapters.
■ Standard units operate in wellbores up to 200°F
(93°C)
■ Hot Well units operate in wellbores up to 500°F
(260°C)

For All Heel Block or Floor Block
 Applications
The WS-Series Single Line Weight Indicator provides
wireline service trucks with a sensitive, accurate device
for measuring loads; helps prevent loss of valuable
down hole tools.
■ Sensitive to smallest loads
■ Built for rough oilfield conditions
The load sensor is provided with two connections; one
at the top to attach to the floor block, and the other at
the bottom to attach to the christmas tree or derrick
floor, forming a pull at 90°. The system is calibrated to
this right angle pull. Accuracy will be slightly affected if
this angle is not true, but the sensitivity of the system
is always maintained.
The gauge reads directly from the load on the line. The
dial can be rotated for tare adjustments by moving the
knurled knob provided at the upper right hand side of
the gauge.

■ Hose length – 50, 75, and 100 ft standard

■  Accurate to 1 /2 of 1% of full rated capacity

■ Completely hydraulic, no power required

■ Integral damper to regulate pointer sensitivity

Features:
The Single Line Weight Indicator is used primarily on
wireline service trucks for measuring the amount of
tension on wireline when logging tools, perforating
guns, downhole explosives, or when survey tools are
lowered or pulled out of the hole. The intricate opera-
tions of wireline service trucks require sensitive instru-
mentation of this caliber. In this application, the
indicating gauge is normally installed in the truck,
either panel mounted or mounted separately. This sys-
tem is also rugged enough for other standard oilfield
service applications.
The dial indicator reads either in pounds, kilos, or
decanewtons on a single wireline, usually 3 /8” cable.
Normally used on wireline service trucks on land, this
system is also used on skid mounted wireline units off-
shore.

Dyna-Line Tensiometer
M/D Totco’s compact, reliable Dyna-Line Tensiometer
provides a continuous, accurate readout of line ten-
sion on both moving and static wirelines.
 Available in models for both general use and marine
applications, the unit consists of a deflection-type
force frame combined with a reliable hydraulic load
cell. As the line passes through the Dyna-Line, it is
deflected by three sheaves against the load cell which
transmits hydraulic pressure to a local or remote fluid-
filled indicator calibrated in tons or kilograms. Because
the system is hydraulically actuated, no outside power
source is required.
■ Ideal for monitoring tension in mooring and posi-
tioning applications
■ Easily attached to a wireline built into wireline ma-

Crane Load Indicators
Load Watch
The Load Watch is an intelligent, modular crane moni-
toring system featuring technologically advanced
microprocessor electronics in a simple, easy-to-use
system. For example, the system’s Auto Fall Scanning
feature follows the operator through fall selections
automatically. The system locks into the fall with
weight applied. The operator’s hands never leave the
controls to manually change a fall selector switch. This
keeps his eye on the lift and his hands on the controls.
The display will automatically show the maximum
allowable load for fall in use. Your operator stays on
top of the situation at all times. Result: Day in, day out,
you’re assured of safety and continuity in operations
with fewer interruptions and delays.
The no-nonsense Load Watch assures the accurate
and continuous monitoring of a wide range of vital
crane functions and loads in a variety of applications.
Safe and efficient operations are assured, especially in
extreme offshore operations. The Load Watch System
can be custom-configured to meet almost any user
need: the system’s Limited Access feature includes a
key-operated selector switch in the data display for
customer programming of specific crane configuration
(boom length, parts line). Load Watch keeps a close
Instrumentation and Controls
Crane Load Indicators
eye on all lifts, monitoring all critical crane functions to
keep load factors within preselected tolerances. Even
in offshore operations in rolling seas, the system con-
stantly monitors conditions and warns through inter-
mittent audible and visual alarms when the applied
load reaches a predetermined set point of between
80% and 95% of rated capacity. A continuous alarm
sounds when 100% to 110% capacity is reached.
The Load Watch System can easily fit into your current
operations. Its modular, lighter-weight electronics
makes Load Watch easy to install or retrofit regardless
of the application. And simple retrofit can give your lift-
ing equipment and operators new capabilities plus bet-
ter overall control of lifts. The Load Watch System is
designed for lifting at dockside, in salvage operations,
on cranes on offshore drilling platforms, rigs and con-
struction barges, as well as most land-based crane
requirements. Monitoring is factory preprogrammed to
given crane make and model and the varying combina-
tions of boom length and load block reeving. With all
monitoring functions programmed, the operator sim-
ply selects his fall with the push of a button or allows
the Automatic Fall Scanning feature to select fall
changes automatically.

M/D Totco Catalog
A. ACCEPTANCE
An order placed by Buyer shall become a binding contract upon Seller's written
acceptance. Seller's quotation is not an offer and is valid for 30 days, unless
otherwise stated. These terms and conditions are incorporated into the contract
between Seller and Buyer to the exclusion of any others submitted by Buyer, or
any other standards or specifications of Buyer, unless expressly accepted in writ-
ing by Seller as part of the contract. Proposals, representations or agreements
made prior to this sales contract, whether verbal or written, are excluded.
B. PRICES
All price quotations are Ex-works Seller's factory or distribution point and are
subject to change without notice. All sales, use, import, excise and like taxes,
whether foreign or domestic, shall be charged to and borne by Buyer. Seller
bears no responsibility for any consular fees for legalizing invoices, certificates of
origin, stamping bills of lading, or other charges required by the laws of any
country of destination, or any fines imposed due to incorrect declarations.
Charges will be added for factory preparation and packaging for shipment.
Minimum freight and invoice charges apply, as in effect at the time of order. If
by reason of any act of government, the cost to Seller of performing its obliga-
tions hereunder is increased, such increase shall be added to the quoted price.
C. PAYMENT TERMS
Terms of payment are subject to approval by Seller's credit department, and shall
be (i) letter of credit, (ii) progress payments, or (iii) Net 30 days. Seller reserves
the right to modify or withdraw credit terms at any time without notice. Invoices
shall be issued at the time of shipment, unless otherwise specified, and all pay-
ments are due in the currency specified in Seller's quote and/or invoice. Interest
shall be due from Buyer to Seller on over due accounts at the maximum rate
allowed by law. When partial shipments are made, the goods will be invoiced as
shipped and each month's invoices will be treated as a separate account and be
payable accordingly. Payment for goods is due whether or not technical docu-
mentation and/or any third party certifications are complete at the time of ship-
ment. Seller shall be entitled to recover all reasonable attorney's fees and other
costs incurred in the collection of overdue accounts. Seller reserves the right
where genuine doubts arise as to Buyer's financial position, or in the case of fail-
ure to pay for any goods or services, to suspend delivery or performance of any
order or any part thereof without liability until payment or satisfactory security
for payment has been provided.
D. DELIVERY
Where goods are to be supplied from stock, such supply is subject to availability
of stocks at the date of delivery. Partial shipments may be made at the option of
Seller. Stated delivery dates are approximate only and cannot be guaranteed.
Seller shall have no liability for damages arising out of the failure to keep a pro-
jected delivery date, irrespective of the length of the delay. In the event that
Seller's performance is delayed by force majeure, defined as causes beyond the
reasonable control of Seller, the date for Seller's per formance shall be extended
by the length of the delay, and Buyer shall not be entitled to cancel any order on
the basis of such delay. In the event Buyer is unable to accept delivery of goods
when tendered, Seller may, at its option, arrange storage of the goods and Buyer
shall be liable to Seller for the reasonable cost of such storage. This provision is
without prejudice to any other rights which Seller may have with respect to
Buyer's failure to take delivery of goods which includes the right to invoice Buyer
for the goods. Buyer agrees that title to the goods will transfer to Buyer upon
invoicing notwithstanding Buyer's inability to accept delivery and that Buyer
assumes all risk of loss or damage to the goods from the date title passes to
Buyer.
E. CANCELLATION
Orders placed by Buyer and accepted by Seller may be canceled only with the
consent of Seller and will subject Buyer to cancellation charges. All of Seller's
documents, drawings and like information shall be returned to Seller upon
Buyer's request for cancellation. No orders may be canceled subsequent to ship-
ment. As estimated actual damages, Buyer agrees to pay Seller the greater of
Seller's actual costs incurred prior to cancellation plus a reasonable profit, or the
42
following minimum cancellation charges:a) 20% of order value if canceled 30 or
more days prior to the original shipment date; b) 50% of the order value if can-
celed thereafter; or c) 100% of the value of any non-standard items, which are
items not built for stock or built to customer specifications. Buyer shall verify the
amount of the cancellation charges prior to canceling an order.
F. TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS
Ownership and risk of loss pass to Buyer upon the earlier of (i) Seller's delivery
of the goods to the carrier, or (ii) invoicing by Seller for the goods where Buyer
is unable to accept delivery on the scheduled date. Seller retains a security inter-
est in the goods until the purchase price has been paid, and Buyer agrees to per-
form upon request all acts required to perfect Seller's interest. Seller accepts no
responsibility for any damage, shortage or loss in transit. Seller will attempt to
pack or prepare all shipments so that they will not break, rust or deteriorate in
shipment, but does not guarantee against such damage. Claims for any damage,
shortage or loss in transit must be made by Buyer on the carrier.
G. LIMITED WARRANTY
Seller warrants, for a period of 15 months from shipment or 12 months from
installation, whichever is earlier, that goods of its own manufacture shall be free
of defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service, provided
they are maintained in accordance with Seller's instructions. At its option, Seller
will either repair or replace goods which are found to be defective within the war-
ranty period. Replacement parts will be delivered ex-works shipping point, and
Seller may require the return of allegedly defective parts, freight pre-paid, to
establish the warranty claim. This warranty is applicable only if: a) the defect
occurred under normal use and service; b) the defect arose from faulty work-
manship or materials; c) Buyer notified Seller in writing of the defect within 10
days of its discovery by Buyer; and d) the goods are properly employed in the
use for which they are intended and maintained in accordance with any applica-
ble Seller operation and service manuals. The warranty provided will be void if
the goods were either: a) repaired or serviced by a service facility which was not
authorized by Seller; b) replacement parts not manufactured by Seller were uti-
lized; or c) modifications were made to the goods which were not approved by
Seller. Any warranties provided on goods not manufactured by Seller are
assigned to Buyer, without recourse, at the time of delivery. Any descriptions,
drawings, samples or similar materials used in connection with this sale are for
the sole purpose of identifying the goods and are not to be construed as a war-
ranty that that the goods will conform to such description.
BUYER, IN ACCEPTING THE DELIVERY OF THE GOODS, ACKNOWLEDGES THAT
SELLER MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS WITH
RESPECT TO THE GOODS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND SELLER DISCLAIMS
THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PAR-
TICULAR PURPOSE. IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER BE LIABLE FOR ANYINDI-
RECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT N OT
LIMITED TO LOSS OF USE OR DOWNTIME, WHICH ARISE FROM DEFECTS IN
THE GOODS. SELLER'S TOTAL LIABILITY HEREUNDER SHALL BE LIMITED TO
THE VALUE OF THE GOODS OR SERVICES PURCHASED
H. CHANGES
Seller reserves the right to change, discontinue or modify the design and manu-
facture of its products without obligation to retrofit goods previously sold. In the
event Buyer makes changes to the scope of this contract which impact the: (i)
designs, drawings or specifications of the goods, (ii) method of shipment or
packing, (iii) place of delivery or (iv) delivery schedules, and such change
impacts the cost of, or time required for, Seller's performance, an equitable
adjustment shall be made in the price or delivery schedule. No change shall be
effective except upon written agreement of both parties.
I. RETURN OF GOODS
Upon Seller's written approval, unused goods, in new condition and of current
manufacture and catalog specifications may be returned by Buyer for credit, pro-
vided written request is received within one year after the purchase date. Non-
standard goods are not returnable for credit. Requests for return of goods must
show original purchase order number, invoice number, description of material,

Terms and Conditions of Sale and Service
and date of purchase. Return of goods does not relieve Buyer of the obligation
to make payment against Seller's invoice, and any credit or refund allowed will
be issued following Seller's receipt of the goods. The credit allowed on returned
goods, if any, is a merchandise credit and is applicable only against future pur-
chases of Seller goods. The credit given will be solely in Seller's discretion and
may be based on the original or a subsequently adjusted price; a charge will be
made to clean-up, refinish and restock. No rubber products may be returned for
credit after six months from date of shipment.
J. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
UPON REQUEST, SELLER WILL PROVIDE ENGINEERING OR TECHNICAL INFOR-
MATION REGARDING ITS GOODS AND, IF FEASIBLE, WILL PROVIDE PERSON-
NEL TO ASSIST BUYER IN AFFECTING FIELD INSTALLATION OR FIELD SER-
VICE. ANY SUCH INFORMATION, SERVICE, ADVICE OR ASSISTANCE SO PRO-
VIDED, WHETHER WITH OR WITHOUT CHARGE, SHALL BE ADVISORY ONLY.
IT IS EXPRESSLY AGREED THAT SELLER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ANY
DAMAGE OR LOSS ARISING OUT OF, RESULTING FROM, OR CAUSED IN
WHOLE OR IN PART BY SUCH INFORMATION, SERVICE, ADVICE OR ASSIS-
TANCE PROVIDED.
K. DISPUTES
In the event that a dispute arises between the parties in relation to this agree-
ment, the parties agree to seek resolution through non-binding arbitration. The
parties agree that any suit brought pursuant hereto shall be filed in the jurisdic-
tion wherein the Seller's headquarters is located, and this agreement shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of such jurisdiction. The
prevailing party in any litigation shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attor-
ney's fees and other costs incurred in such litigation. No action for breach of
this agreement shall be brought more than two years after the cause of action
has arisen.
L. PATENT INDEMNITY.
IN THE EVENT ANY PRODUCT MANUFACTURED BY SELLER AND FURNISHED
HEREUNDER IS TO BE MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH DRAWINGS, SAMPLES
OR MANUFACTURING SPECIFICATIONS DESIGNATED BY BUYER, BUYER
AGREES TO HOLD SELLER HARMLESS FROM ANY AND ALL DAMAGES, COSTS
AND EXPENSES RELATING TO ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM THE DESIGN, MAN-
UFACTURE OR USE OF THE PRODUCT OR ARISING FROM A CLAIM THAT SUCH

LESS BUYER AND ITS CUSTOMERS AGAINST ANY DAMAGES AWARDED BY A
COURT OF FINAL JURISDICTION IN ANY SUIT OR SUITS FOR THE INFRINGE-
MENT OF ANY UNITED STATES PATENT BY REASON OF THE SALE OF USE OF
SUCH PRODUCT FURNISHED BY SELLER. THE FOREGOING UNDERTAKING BY

SOON AS PRACTICABLE BY BUYER OF THE CHARGES OR SUIT ALLEGING
M/D Totco Catalog

OR SERVICES PURCHASED HEREUNDER.
M. REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
By acceptance of delivery of this order, Buyer warrants it has complied with all
applicable governmental, statutory and regulatory requirements and will furnish
Seller with such documents as may be required. Seller warrants and certifies
that in the performance of this contract, it will comply with all applicable statutes,
rules, regulations and orders of the United States and of any state or political
subdivision thereof, including laws and regulations pertaining to labor, wages,
hours and other conditions of employment, applicable price ceilings if any, and
that the articles delivered hereunder shall be produced in compliance with the
Fair Labor Standards Act and the Equal Employment Opportunity provisions of

N. SAFETY SCREENING

to have in effect a drug or alcohol policy, and any provision of said policy imple-
mented in compliance with the Buyer's requirements is held to have violated any
employee's rights or any law, then Buyer shall indemnify Seller and hold it harm-
less from all resulting loss, including all defense costs and attorneys' fees.
Buyer shall also defend and indemnify Seller with respect to any claim or loss
which arises as a result of sampling, testing or analytical procedures adminis-
tered by that Buyer or its agents in applying its drug/alcohol policies to Seller's
