with a certified chain. In the case of a situation where the certified and
approved anchor point for the bottom sheave wheel is at a greater
distance from the location of bottom sheave wheel, remember to secure
the bottom chain with the air tugger line because as the length of the
chain increases so also the weight which makes it impossible for a
person to handle it. Always do pre job visual inspection of the chain
and sheave wheel. Secure the hook to the chain using the shackle and
tractor pin. Ensure that the bottom sheave wheel is secured with the air
tugger line and not laying on its side. Make use of the proper floor

In the case of Tool Pusher Operations once we latch on to the tool

down hole , and before we start logging down we have to rig up the
third sheave which is called snatch block as shown below. Hence this
rig up is also sometimes referred to as three sheave rig up. The cable
gets guided by the side of the pipe during logging with the help of a
floor plate.
Installation of the snatch block and the floor plate should be done after
consulting with the rig crew as it should not hinder their operation.
Ensure that the rig crew is aware that there are two cables
under tension; the cable which supports the Snatch block
from the Rig structure and the wire line cable which is
entering the hole via the snatch block.

RIG-UP PROCEDURES RIG-LESS OPERATION
Rig-less operations is necessary when there is no rig on site

to support the top sheave (Crane/Mast).
Two winch operators are required to complete one action is
considered to be a high risk operation.
WIND SPEED MONITORING FOR BOOM AND MAST OPERATIONS:
Side loads applied to a crane boom or mast derrick can potentially

stress the crane boom or mast derrick beyond its operational limits.
Adding a swing load will increase this potential.
Crane boom and mast derrick units are design to operate within set
parameters. These parameters include side loading and wind speed.
It is mandatory the wind speed be entered into the lift plan form and
checked against the crane or mast unit limits documented by the
manufacture (Normally Located on a metal plate attached to the unit)
before raising the crane boom or mast derrick.
Periodic wind speed checks shall continue during the job especially
during wind changes in direction, wind speed changes and while close
to the surface with the tool-string. The wind speed readings shall be
updated on the lift form after each check.
The type and model of hand held wind meter is not mandatory, but the
use of a hand held wind speed meter on location during a crane boom
or mast derrick operation is mandatory to correctly determine the wind
speed in order to verify the wind speed is within the crane boom or
mast derrick limits.

Method #2: Un-supported tool-string, raised in the lubricator supported

by the conductor line.
Simultaneous Lifting Procedures (Self Supporting)

If the tool-string is capable of withstanding its own weight plus the weight of
added weight bars without damage, the follow procedures are recommended.
After connecting the tool-string to the conductor line, pull the toolstring into the lubricator stopping the bottom of the tool-string just
inside the bottom of the lubricator.
Insert a stop on the bottom of the lubricator to stop the tool-string from
exiting the lubricator during the lift. The stop can be a set of lubricator
dolly wheels or a bull-plug. If a bull-plug is used, it must protect the.
O-ring seals in the bottom half union.
The crane winch operator initiates the lifting operation by slowly lifting
the lubricator from the horizontal position to the vertical position.
Subsequently, the WP winch operator takes up the conductor line slack
as the lubricator is lifted to the vertical position. The tool-string will be
lifted in the lubricator while resting on the lubricator stop and not by
the conductor line.
The WP winch operator must maintain the required tension on

the conductor line to keep the bottom sheave from falling to
one side.
The crane winch operator stops the vertical lift with the bottom of the
lubricator 12 above the top wellhead connection and slightly off to one
side.
The WP winch operator retracts the conductor line lifting the toolstring off the lubricator stop; the lubricator stop may be removed at this
time.
If a wheel dolly is used as the lubricator stop, do not raise the

dolly wheels over 2 above the ground before removing the
dolly wheels and replacing them with a bull plug lubricator
stop
The WP winch operator lowers the tool-string until between 6" and 8"
of the tool-string is visible out of the bottom of the lubricator.
The Crane winch operator will rotate the lubricator aligning the
lubricator pin connection with the box connection on top of the
wellhead.
HALLIBURTON
D00625669/H
RIG UP OPERATIONS
After the tool-string has been lined up for well entry, the WP winch
operator lowers the tool-string and stops just above the top wellhead
gate valve and then notifies the crane winch operator when the toolstring is in the proper position.
The crane winch operator slowly lowers the lubricator until the
lubricator half Union, (pin) comes in contact with the half box union on
top of the wellhead. The WP operator secures the union.

(WPCE) field operations manual (FOM).
If the lubricator is not pre-pressured to equal the well pressure before

opening the wellhead gate valve:
- The WP winch operator will make certain the hydraulic bypass
valve is properly set to stop the winch if the cable-head comes into
contact with the pressure control equipment prematurely. The use
of a tool catcher is recommended.
- The WP winch operator raises the top of the tool-string to a point
just below the pressure control head or latches the cable-head in
the Tool-catcher.
Close the tool trap, if used. The wellhead pressure control equipment is
engaged and the wellhead gate valve is opened to slowly equalize the
lubricator pressure before the tool-string descends into the well.
Release the tool-string from the tool catcher and open the tool trap if in
use.
Simultaneous Lifting Procedures (Non-Self Supporting)

If the tool-string is not capable of withstanding its own weight plus the weight of
added weight bars without damage, the following steps are recommended.
After connecting the tool-string to the conductor line, pull the toolstring into the lubricator stopping the bottom of the tool-string just
inside the bottom of the lubricator.
Insert a stop on the bottom of the lubricator to stop the tool-string from
exiting the lubricator during the lift. The stop can be a set of lubricator
dolly wheels or a bull-plug. If a bull-plug is used, it must protect the Oring seals in the bottom half union.
The crane winch operator initiates the lifting operation by slowly lifting
the lubricator from the horizontal position to the vertical position.
Subsequently, the WP winch operator takes up the conductor line slack
as the lubricator is lifted to the vertical position.
The WP winch operator must maintain the required tension on

the conductor line to keep the tool-string hanging between the
pressure control head and the bottom of the lubricator. This is
a high risk operation concerning damaging the tool-string as

the WP winch operator cannot see the tool-string in the
lubricator. As the simultaneous lift is in progress the WP
winch operator will have to rely on the weight indicator to
determine if the tool-string is setting down on the lubricator
stop or bumping against the pressure control head.
The crane winch operator stops the vertical lift with the bottom of the
lubricator no more than 2' above the ground. The lubricator trolley
wheels or lubricator bull-plug may be removed at this time and a
lubricator entry guide attached to the bottom of the lubricator.
The WP winch operator lowers the tool-string until between 6" and 12"
of the tool-string is visible out of the bottom of the lubricator.
The crane winch operator rotates the crane boom and places the
lubricator in close proximity to the wellhead. While the lubricator is
being positioned the WP winch operator will maintain the 6 to 12
tool string exposure to compensate for crane movement.
The WP winch operator remains stationary while the crane winch

operator raises the bottom of the lubricator to a position 12 above the
top of the wellhead connection and slightly off to one side and watches
for any slack in the conductor line.
The WP operator monitors the operation, including the crane crown and
top of the lubricator pressure control head proximity.
While the lubricator is raised to the top of the wellhead

connection, take care to protect the exposed tool-string. The
WP winch operator monitors the tension on the conductor
line. If the conductor line starts to slacken, stop the operation
and then determine and fix the problem.
The WP winch operator verifies that the crane winch operator has
reached the required position and ceased all movement of the crane
winch and boom. The WP winch operator retracts the conductor line
raising the bottom of the tool-string to a height 6 to 8 above the top
of the wellhead top connection.
The Crane winch operator will rotate the lubricator aligning the
lubricator pin connection with the box connection on top of the wellhead.
After the tool-string has been lined up for well entry, the WP winch
operator lowers the tool-string and stops just above the top wellhead
gate valve and then notifies the crane winch operator when the toolstring is in the proper position.
The crane winch operator slowly lowers the lubricator until the
lubricator half union comes in contact with the wire-line valve half box
union. The WP operator secures the union.
Steps to take before pressurizing the lubricator and opening the

wellhead gate valve:
- The WP winch operator will make certain the hydraulic bypass
valve is properly set to stop the winch if the cable-head comes into
contact with the pressure control equipment prematurely.

RIG-UP ON A FLOATER
Wire-line Logging operations on floating drill platforms require additional rig up

equipment to insure a near constant tool speed and down-hole tool position. The
heave from wave action on floating platforms can cause irregular tool movement
degrading the vertical resolution of the data and causing varying depth when
positioning down-hole sensors/tools. This rig up must be made to take full
advantage of movement compensation to minimize changes to the distance
between the wire-line top sheave and the seabed. A working line is added to the
rig up to actively engage the block or crown compensation units. This line is
connected from the rig floor to a stationary point below the slip joints over a
working sheave hung in the elevators.

NOT to be engaged.
Install the top sheave assembly connect the load cell and sheave to
the lower pad eye of the compensating sheave. Do a visual inspection
of the Pad eye, it must be certified, and approved.
The Sheave hanger/elevator hook will not be used in this

assembly since load cell is attached directly to the pad eye at
the bottom of the compensating sheave. A 15Ton/30,000lb
shackle must be used for this purpose, as a minimum
(standard HES RUE).
It is strongly recommended to attach the load cell to the top

sheave. However, it may be attached to the lower sheave in
extenuating circumstances. Tension readings may fluctuate
due to the wave motion compensation.
Rig up the bottom sheave as normal. A tugger line should be

incorporated (to hang the sheave) to prevent the sheave from jumping
under changing wire-line tensions.
Do a pre job visual inspection of the compensating line. Check for the
recent certification. Thread the compensating line through the
compensating sheave leaving sufficient slack to complete the rig- up.
The line must be attached to a fixed point on the well-head stack and
threaded up through the rig floor. The other end must be attached to a
point on the rig floor, incorporating a safety shear sub and safety sling,
as shown in figure 1.

Feed the wire-line through the bottom sheave and up through the top
sheave. Ensure that the cable head is properly secured to prevent the
cable head from rising and passing through the top sheave and dropping
to the floor.
Ensure the compensating line is securely fastened to the anchor points

on the rig floor and stack. Ensure that the anchor points are certified
and approved. Always ensure that the Compensator is dis engaged
before raising the top sheave.
Lift the top sheave assembly to the correct height to allow plenty of
room for the tool string. Leave sufficient slack in the compensation line
for this. Care must be taken to prevent tangling of wire-line,
compensating line, and load cell cable. Failure to verify the top sheave
is not twisted before applying tension to the cable while raising the
tool-string may result in the sheave turning and twisting the cable while
down hole damaging the cable or support equipment.
Allow cable head to rest on rig floor. Perform tension surface

calibration. Also see generic depth control Ops Manual or FOM.
Use a lubricator entry guide when pulling tool-string with

square shoulder into the lubricator from a vertical position
with the unit drum. See OEB-2009/044.

Concerns with compensators
Rough seas may cause conditions of movement outside compensators

range of stroke. Compensation is limited to heave less than one half the
compensators maximum travel.
Compensators tend to lag when subjected to abrupt changes in height.
General concerns
Addition lines in the derrick need to be managed to reduce the risk of

fouling the wire-line and working line.
Proper depth control techniques must be maintained. The drilling line

should be marked when the rig up is complete. This will make it easier
to re-position the block to the same height for additional wire-line runs.
Turn off the Wave Motion Compensator at 300 feet. Stand well
clear when the WMC is activated or deactivated.

There are three approved under the rig floor rig up systems:
Standard rig-up procedures, this can be used provided there is enough

space between the wire-line valve deck and bottom of the rig floor to
support the top sheave by attaching the top sheave to a main rig floor
frame support while still allowing room for the tool-string/lubricator.
Deployment by use of a URF-A Frame. This can be used when no

lubricator is required (example Open Hole Logging).
Phuel Oil Tools deployment system, this would be used to deploy toolstrings required deployment in several sections while under well
pressure.
Wire-line operations under the rig floor can be completed safely

provided certain criteria are observed.
If a risk is identified during rig or wire-line operations the operation

must be shut down until the risk is eliminated.
The logging unit should be placed under the rig floor in such a way as
to not restrict rig up procedures (cantilever support platform) or place
the crew in a hazardous position such as confined spaces.
A risk analysis must be completed and approved by the local

Halliburton management team as well as the customer representative.
If there is any doubt concerning the safety of the operation, the WP

winch operator will stop all operations, notify the site supervisor and
hold a safety meeting to correct all safety concerns.

Phuel Oil Tools Deployment System
The Phuel Deployment System allows operators to install a tool-string longer

than the available pickup height into a wellbore, (Example: under rig floor
operations) while maintaining full control of the wellbore pressure. The system
permits the deployment of longer lengths of production logging tools (PLT) and
wireline conveyed perforating guns than conventionally would be allowed.
Therefore, the system reduces operation time while increasing the functionality
and value from the intervention operation.
The system is comprised of a Wire Line Valve (WLV) with pipe and wire-line
rams, a deployment window, and a detection system. These are described as
follows:
One section of the detection system is the deployment bar system into
which strategically placed magnets allow for the correct positioning of
the bar into the wire-line valve, and seal the bar for pressure control.
A magnetic detection system is employed to provide positional

information to the wire-line operator for setting the rams of the wireline valve when the bar is correctly positioned. A suitable number of
bars are used in the logging tool-string to divide the total tool-string
lengths into sections that can be lifted within the limitations of the rig.
A deployment window is located directly above the wire-line valve.

The deployment window contains an operator window which allows
access to the top of the bar and to the bottom of the tool-string. From
the operator window, the wire-line operator is able to make or break the
connections between each tool-string length.
The wire-line valve contains five sets of rams. There are two rams (one
inverted) with pipe seals to seal on the deployment bar, two rams (one
inverted) with wire-line seals used to run on wire-line and one shear
and seal ram that cuts the bar or wire-line in an emergency.
The deployment window consists of a pressure port to verify the

condition of the seals. This window also includes a fast test sub
incorporated into the top section to allow quick testing of the lubricator
after each length of toolstring is attached.
The second part of the detection system consists of two magnetic

detectors, one above and one below the. When the magnets in the bars

GENERAL - RIG UP EQUIPMENT
The new standard equipment will comply with our maximum working
cable tension of 15,000 lbs. (open hole) and 6,000 lbs. (cased hole).
All load bearing equipment used during wire-line rig-up and associated
equipment such as shackles (clevises) will require certification and
proper identification attached to each tested assembly.
- In addition, the equipment will require annual re-certification. It
is the responsibility of the field operation location to re-certify the
rig-up gear assemblies on this annual basis.
- Re-certification must include a proof load test, mechanical
inspection of assemblies for wear and corrosion, and test
documentation.
- The assemblies shall be tested up to but not exceeding their proof
load. A proof load test is typically twice the rated working load (or
Hook Load) as defined in each part numbers equipment
specifications.
- It is required that non-destructive material testing, (dye penetrant
or magnetic particle / MPI), be completed on all cast components
of the assemblies to check for cracks or inclusions.
- It is preferred that the load should be applied slowly by a
hydraulic ram connected to a certified pressure gauge that is
calibrated to the ram's diameter so as to read directly in pounds.
The gauge used shall have adequate definition so that plus or
minus 1% can be read on the scale. The gauge shall be calibrated
every year. There are no specifications that set the minimum time
duration for holding the load. Most test companies hold the load
from a few seconds to 15 minutes. Anything with a cast part or
weld that will be subjected to an MPI should be held for at least 5
minutes. However, other items can be tested by holding the load
for a short duration.
MAXIMUM CABLE LOAD IS ONE HALF OF THE HOOK LOAD

ACROSS THE TOP SHEAVE
Investigation into the use of wire slings in conjunction with rigging has
deemed wire slings are NOT acceptable.
When ordering sheaves such as the 14" wheel P/N 101205532 it will be
for a 7/32" line, the 17" wheel P/N 101205533 will be for a 5/16" line,
and the 30" wheel P/N 101210319 will be for a 15/32" and larger lines.
- The above sheaves will also have a connection that will accept the
ISI or Kerr Measurement type flat load-cell. A certification will
be included with each sheave assembly.
- Each lower sheave, both open and cased hole, will have a hand
guard attached to prevent foreign objects from entering the sheave.
See part numbers in table below.
The new load-cells P/N 101298147 & 101298433 will have a 30,000
lb. working load capacity. It will be made of a wider material to
HALLIBURTON
D00625669/H
RIG UP OPERATIONS
comply with the safety margin that is imposed on the other rigging
equipment.
- Care must be taken when doing yearly proof test on these load
cells not to exceed the limitations of the load-cell tension element.
Exceeding the tension element rating could render the load-cell
useless. Warn third party vendors if they are performing the
certifications to not exceed the limitations.
The use of Kevlar slings (Steamador for the bottom sheave and Sling
Max for a crown rig-up of top sheave) is acceptable for rig-up
operations.
- Slings shall be padded or protected from sharp edges of their
loads.
