b) Return flow Sensor simulation.  Best Record: Ahmed Riami: 18
c) MWT recording  No stoppage in OH W/O STDs /hr
 Secondary Barrier (Tested Pumping.
BOP, Well control X-over,  Stock of inflow to be on site for
FOSV). any stuck.
 Annular BOP closing

1. In case of losses keep filling the well Through Kill line.

2. Pull wear bushing
3. Flush & Wash BOP’s
4. Rig up the Volant CRT casing running tool. Function test tool.
5. MU F.Shoe, Float Collar and Landing collar. Thread lock all joints & test floats.
6. RIH with 9-5/8” casing to the 13-3/8” casing shoe. (41 joints = 531m.) Fill
casing every 5 joints.
7. Use Safety Calmp until string wt is 7 kdan.
8. Continue to RIH casing to joint number 63 (813m.) Call Halliburton cementer 1
hour before you need them

9. Pick up 9-5/8” cement DV with the winch & soft sling and make up in the
casing in the rotary table with a chain tong. MSIPC Stage Tool (3.24 m). ( under
direct supervision from Hall Cementer).
10.Circulation test with 1 m3/min rate check if there is any leaks.
11.Continue to RIH w/ 9-5/8” casing with joint number 96 + 1 Jts R2 (1261.5
meters.)
12.Max S/D Wt 10 Kdan. In case of S/D , P/U Free and turn pumps on 1.2 M3/min
and wash down setting Max pressure to 8000 Kpa ( work string by jerking).
13.Follow Darg Sheet attached. If large difference circulate BU with 1.5 M/Hr
while working string up and down.
14.Pick up Landing Joint & 13-3/8” X 9-5/8” casing hanger. Ensure hanger is fully
engaged to running tool. Confirm RT isn’t over torqued. . (B/O then M/U at
2000 ft.lb)
15.Drain BOP. Wash down with 1 m3/min while Landing HGR very slowly
returns through SOV to cellar.
16.Land the casing hanger. Pressure test the casing hanger against the annular to
8500 KPA for 15 minutes with chart and flat line. Have all hand tools ready.
17.Circulate one full cycle at 1.2 m3/min. (Pressure should be steady)
18.Meanwhile circulation Hold PJSM and rig up Halliburton cement head and
lines.
19.Flush lines with water and pressure test lines to 3500 kPa low and 21000
high for 5 / 15 min each.
20. Circulate another full cycle at 1.2 m3/min with no shutdowns and continue
circulation till cement team is ready to pump.
Cementing Stage 1 & 2
1. While circulating prepare the mix fluid for the single slurry. Only add
retarder once given the go ahead from the DSV.
Note: Cementer to take two (2) 5kg samples of dry cement.
Two (2) samples of 3 liters each of mix fluid.
Five (5) liters of mud & spacer.

Two (2) containers of Four (4) liters of Mix water.

Two (2) Samples of cement from lead, tail & single slurries.
One (1) KG or liter of cement additives.
1st Stage cement job:
1. Pump 10.0 m3 fresh water at 1 m3/min. With rig pump 533 strokes
2. Halliburton to begin mixing cement. Check density using a pressurized mud
balance. Proceed when density is +/- 0.2 kPa/m.
3. Pump +/- 28.8 m3 of 1.42 SG/ 13.8 KPA/M lead slurry fly mixed at 1
m3/min.( Mix fluid 23.25 m3)
4. Pump +/- 14.5 m3 of 1.90 SG / 18.6 KPA/M tail slurry fly mixed at .8
m3/min. ( Mix fluid 8.6 m3)
5. Drop the displacement plug, to be witnessed by HAL and DSV. Verify that
the plug has launched using the indicator. Do not flush lines to the floor –
want to have 0.5 to 1 bbl of cement behind plug.
6. Pump 3.2 m3 fresh water at 1.4 m3/min. Cement unit.
7. Pump +/- 45.6 m3 WBM @ 1 m3/min with rig pump (2414 strokes).
(with Rig pump, total displacement is 48.8 m3. We can pump extra 0.5 m3 if
required. (27 strokes)
8. Bump the plug Continue pressuring up to 14,000 kPa and complete a 30
minute casing test.
Bleed off, check floats at the cement unit.
a. If the floats and latch down plug fail to hold, try repeatedly bleeding off
pressure quickly then repumping volume to try flush and activate valves.
b. If this fails close in well at cement head and WOC for 2 hours, then check
for flow. If still flowing WOC in 1 hour intervals and recheck.
c. Have kill line connected to one side outlet and keep the other side open

2nd Stage Cement Job:

1. Bleed off pressure
2. Start filling Annulus with 0.5 M3/min keeping the other side of SOV’s Open.
3. Open up cement head, drop the ‘bomb’ opening plug, wind in the pin, load
the closing plug and close cement head. To be witnessed by HAL cement
and DSV.
3. Wait 10 minutes for the free fall plug to land in the MSIPC tool. No response
will be seen at surface. a. Plug falls at 61 meters per minute.
4. Apply 1,500 kPa in 3 minutes increments until reaching 5930 kPa or 860 psi
with the cement unit to slide the sleeve to allow pressure to inflate the packer.
Note: 5930 kPa or 860 psi is differential pressure and may be lower or greater
depending on well conditions.
5. Increase pressure in 1500 kPa increments and wait 3 minutes before increasing
the pressure each time. This is to allow the inflatable packer to fully extrude and
inflate. b. Continue until burst disk rupture pressure of 12410 kPa or 1800 psi.
7. Establish circulation to ensure that ports are open and free. Pump minimum 1
bottoms up with the rig pumps. (17.3 m3 Annulus volume.) (920 strokes). Till hole
is clean.
Count the strokes it takes to get returns from the SOV’s to calculate how low
the cement dropped in the 13-3/8” & 9-5/8” annulus.
7. Pump 5.0 m3 fresh water at 1 m3/min with RIG PUMP (266 strokes).
8. Begin mixing cement. Check density using a pressurized mud balance. Proceed
when density is +/- 0.2 kPa/m.
9. Pump +/- 18.1 m3 of 1.90SG / 18.6 KPA/M single slurry fly mixed at .8 m3/min.
( Mix fluid: 10.65 M3)
** Allow Excess CMT to fill previous Annulus as TOP fill.
10. Drop closing plug and close cement head. To be witnessed by HAL and DSV.
11. Pump 3.2 m3 fresh water at 0.8 m3/min with CEMENT UNIT.

12. Pump +/- 14.4 m3 WBM at 1.0 m3/min with Rig pump (761 stks)
TOTAL disp: 17.59 m3.
14. Bump the plug with a pressure of +/- 11,361 kPa or 1647 psi
At this time the closing plug will shear and move down closing the ports.
16. Continue pressuring up to 14,000 kPa and complete a 30 minute casing test.
17. Bleed off and check for back flow, rig down cement head, wash up cement
unit, complete job packet and get DSV to sign documentation before leaving
location.

Note:
Wear all PPE at all times, Follow JSA’s for operations & utilize the PTW for all jobs,
Isolations & confined spaces. TRIC cards & Hazard Observation cards to be used
every day by all personnel. Stop work authority to be encouraged. The 9
Halliburton life r6ules & 12 PDO life rules to be followed at all times.
