PRE -JOB PROCEDURES:

 Ensure the proper procedure is used for fluid, stage, Proppant and fluid
volumes.
 Ensure tank straps indicate sufficient fluid volume for treatment.
 Ensure manufacturer s Proppant weight tickets and sieve analysis (if provided)
indicate the proper type and amount of Proppant was delivered.
 Ensure Sieve Analysis was performed on each type of Proppant and that they
conform to specs.
 Ensure Water QC Tests were performed on each tank and indicate proper fluid
quality.
 Ensure Gel Test was performed prior to gelling and viscosity was stable at
ambient temperature. (If viscosity declines, the tanks should not be gelled. May
indicate bacteria or breaker. Repeat tests with fresh samples of water to verify
results.)
 Ensure Gel QC was performed on gelled tanks or Hydration Unit and viscosity
is within published viscosity charts for the polymer loading (ppt).
 Ensure Breaker Tests were performed with location chemicals and gelled tank
water.
 Ensure primary and backup chemical pumps have been calibrated.
 Ensure chemicals have been measured (strapped) with hoses loaded prior to
pumping.
MONITORING PROCEDURES
 Ensure the measured viscosity (centipoise) is charted in real-time for all "On the
Fly" jobs. (Not calculated from gel pump rpm).
 Ensure all "on the fly" chemicals are charted in gallons per thousand gallons
fluid (gpt).
 Ensure monitoring van operator will alert the Service Supervisor, Engineer and
Fluid Tech immediately if "on the fly" chemicals vary by more than 10% of
plan during the job.
 Ensure the Proppant will be monitored and charted with a Radioactive
Densiometer. (Not calculated from sand screw rpm).
JOB EXECUTION
 Be informed of job status during testing, gelling and pumping.
 Ensure the fluid will be sampled and needed adjustments made by Engineer or
Fluid Tech.
 Ensure chemicals are strapped during the job, to confirm chemicals are on
schedule.
