GLYCOL INJECTION PROCEDURE FOR SSD-1x CHOKE A
GLYCOL INJECTION PROCEDURE FOR SSD-1x CHOKE A
(Well Control)
Reminders:
Glycol injection procedure to be A4 plastified and posted
on the rig choke manifold near choke A, on the Glycol
injection pump and in the Driller’s house.
Glycol injection pump to be tested to 15K (same frequency
as BOP test)
Glycol injection pump to be function tested every hitch
Glycol minimum stock on the rig : 750 litres in a 1000 litres
capacity tank.
SSD-1x :
HP zone starts at ± 3761 mTVDRT
HT zone starts at ± 4350 mTVDRT
Glycol injection pump to be ready from 3700 mTVDRT
Procedure :
If Well control has to be performed
ASSUMING using Remote Operated Choke A
Ensure Glycol injection pump is connected to
injection port on the 15K buffer chamber on the side
of valve no 1 and valve no 2.
Check the Glycol injection pump is connected to the
Glycol tank.
Valves no 2, no 4, no 6, no 27, no 5 are closed and
valve no 3 upstream choke open.
START injection of Glycol at 0.2 l/min when the gas
influx is at ± 1000 metres below the BOP.
Check that the level of Glycol in the tank is going
down.
If starting to see ice on choke manifold, increase
quickly the Glycol injection rate to 2.5 l/min.
Check physically that the level of Glycol in the glycol
tank is going down.
When no more ice is visible, decrease the Glycol
injection rate to 1 l/min.
STOP Glycol injection when the gas influx has been
fully evacuated.
