Make sure you completely understand the operation to be performed and know the hazards of the job and how to protect yourself. If you are not sure, ask the senior wireline operator or your supervisor. 2. Always weer safety hats, safety shoes and gloves. Do not weer loose Clothing because it can catch in moving equipment and cause an injury. Wear plastic face shielés or goggles when assembling hammer-up unions. Wear life jackets any time you are riding a work boat or working on an offshore platform. If possible, position the wireline unit 100 feet from the wellhead. CAUTION On an Hg location the unit must always be placed upwind from the wellhead. Make sure {You have proper breathing apparatus and s Fesuseltator. Advise. authorities before fentering a sour get location and Upon your Geparture. “See Part 2 of this section for ‘etailed HyS procedures. ‘Remove all junk or debris betwoon the wireline unit and the wellhead. During night operations make sure thet lighting includes at least three 150: watt bulbs, with one at the wireline unit, one at the wellhoed, and one between the unit ané the wellheee. cAUTION when working in a dangerous environment the Light fixture must be explosion proof. Do not hammer or elimb on & lubricator that is subjected to well pressure Wateh your footing carefully when you must climb above the christmas tree. Do not grasp any part of the tree for support unless itis properly secured. 7. Check the pressure gage and ask the customer whether the pressure shown 's the maximum well shut-in pressure. ‘Then make sure that all surface ‘equipment on location has adequate working pressure. 8. Close the wing valve (unless otherwise specified) on flowing wells. CAUTION ‘Always count and remember the turns required to open a valve so you can be sure how many {urns are needed to” clote the” valve ‘completely. 8 Close the top valve of the wallhesd. Never ute the master valve exeept in an emergency. 10, After steps 1, 8, and 8, follow the two stepe below to bleed off the pressure: 48) Allow the pressure to bleed off (wearing breathing apparatus if in gS environment) and enutiously éisconnect the pressure gage. Make sure thet no pressure Is trapped below after the needle valve is closed, ») After the gage is disconnected, open the needle valve and purge pressure, 11, When all pressure is ble¢, leave the bleed-off valve open and disconnect the flange, Unibolt or eap, making sure you do not stand on the part deing removed. 12 Nore ‘To remove a flange Safely, unbolt one side of the flange (4 bolts). From the opposite side, tnd keeping a safe distance, shake the flange, If no ‘pressure is present, continue the removels To remove a Unibolt or cap, first loosen the ook belt. Without removing the nut, loosen the lock nut and make sure the cap is loose ‘and no pressure is present before removing the top assembly. 12, When the flange, cap or Unibolt has been removed, install the wireline bottom adaptor. For flange connections, clean and lightly oll the ring Joint, then tighten the opposite bolts. Exhibit Let Bolt Tightening 1 18. Cheek the condition of the stuffing box blowout preventer and replace it if 11 shows excessive wear. 14, Make up the lubeleator on the ground. Check all O-rings. Install the stuffing box after passing the wireline through it. 15. Install the blowout preventer on the tree connection. 16. Make sure the gin pole is positioned vertically stright. 17. Reise the lubricator so the bottom is even with the top of the blowout preventer connection. NOTE ‘To prevent the tools from falling out of the lubricator, be eereful not to bump the top of the wireline clamp when” ploking up the ubeicator. Install the hay pulley so the wire is parallel to the ground, then eonneet the ‘tool to be Fun to the bottom of the tool tring. 18, Zero wireline counter at the reference point (bredenhesd flange, tubing hinge, or bottom master valve). 20. Connect the Iubrieator to the blowout preventer. 21. If the working pressure is above 6000 psi, purge the lubricator or fil it with ol, Make sure the purge valve on the bottom lubricator joint is closed. 22, Open the master valves (counting the tums to know when the pressure centers the lubri bei tor). Continue to slowly open the valve until the tor is pressurized. cavuTion ‘The lubricator is now under pressure. Ifa leak Is present, shut the valves, carefully bleed the pressure" end repair the leak before Proceeding. 1a 23, If the stuffing box leaks, tighten the packing nut or apply pressure with hand pump. When the lubricator holds the pressure, go in the hole and perform the operation. cauTion Never loosen the packing nut. 24, Perform a pressure test on the blowout preventer before entering the wellbore. Nore If the operation is a pressure survey, clamp the wire on the lubricator and slack ‘off the line slightly when the tools are at a desired depth. Put a warning flag on the line to keep people from running into It 25, When the tool string is in the lubricator after making the trip, note the pressure, close the swab valve and open the purge valve. 26. When bleeding off (purging) the lubriestor valve, operate the lubricator needle valve several times to make sure it Is not plugged with ice. cauTION Never stand in front of the needle valve opening. 2%. Upon completion of operation, and after cutting the wire, draw the wire through the stuffing box. cavTion Personnel must not stand in the path of wireline being retrieved. WORKING SAFELY IN HyS ENVIRONMENTS 1.2.1 Preparation Before the Job Whenever HgS production can be expected, @ mecting must be held with the rig owner of elient before the job begins. This meeting must cover ll points ineluded below under the headings Personnel, Standard Equipment, Safety Equipment and Responsibilities. Me 1.2.2 Personnel ‘The fob must be performed by a erew thet includes two experienced operators. ‘Throughout the operation all crew members must be constantly Within sight of an observer (not necessarily w specialist). Duties of the observer will be to watch the operator(s) and give the alarm if ‘any unusual operator behavior occurs. Arrangements must be made with the customer or tool pusher to provide sufficient help to watch all personnel and to define how to trigger the alum. Both the general safety procedures and the specific procedures for the job site must be reviewed to make sure thet all personnel understand the actions to be taken in an emengeney, especially in ese of rig evecuation. 1.2.8 Standard Equipment Only HS rate equipment may be used. cavTion ‘Any equipment that cannot be positively identified as HS proof must be considered as not HaSrates. ‘The client must be informed about the location of al safety devices sueh es automstic shutdown equipment and rupture dses. Liquid corrosion inhibitors such as Petrolite Kontol 100 or Pechiney No-Rust PA2 may be injected in the flow heed at a rate of 20 liters/million m2 of gas. Using walkie-talkie radios is recommended to provide good ‘communications between all erew members. 1.244 Safety Equipment For HyS Detection 1, Locations for HyS detectors and alarms must be arranged with the client, who normally provides them. 2 Using Draeger type HaS sniffers provides additional safety. Models typically used include the following © 81.19 001 (1 to 200 ppm) © CH 29801 (5 to 600 pom) © GH 29101 (100 to 2000 ppm) NOTE Storing the reactive tubes at, tomperatures between 50 and 300C (400 to 650) Keeps ther usable for two years.

Normally wireline ‘operations will not be performed In such conditions, but using such ‘equipment might be necessary in ease of an equipment breakdown or while eseuing personnel. ‘Types of equipment available include independent breathing apparatus, ‘apparatus connected to a general sir supply, and recirculation apparatus. ‘A. Independent Breathing Apparatus ‘This type of equipment includes a compressed sir supply carsied in bottles similar to thase used in diving. Working time depenés on bottle especity, alr pressure, and the ‘oxygen demands of the work being performed. For example, e4 liter bottle at 200 bars provides alr for about 20 minutes, while a 6 liter bottle at 300 bers provides air for about one hour. All systems available currently have an audible or visible “end of bottle” indieator, and many of them can be switehed to an air supply pipe. They can be used in any climete. systems now avellable include the Draeger Type PA $4 (dorsal type) fané Simplair (ventral type for work in limited space), and the Auer oF MSA type BD 75/1800-3 (dorsal type) and Type BD ~ EO (ventral typed. a CAUTION ‘Two sets of independent breathing apparatus must be given to the crew. B. Apparatus Connected To The Air Supply Pipe ‘These systems should not be used beenuse the hose ean easily be cut, allowing the wearer to breathe poison gas. In addition, the connection hose forees the user to return by the route he used upon fentoring the area, and an Noses bottle” must ha eatnied with thie eevlee, Recirculation Apparatus ‘This type of equipment reoireulates air bresthed through a eartridge fof potassium peroxide to liberate oxygen. Although It provides ‘completely independent movement and several hours of working time, 0 not recommend its use. The recirculation process produces heat that limits the deviee to use in cool temperatures and the ‘cartridges require attention. 1.2.8 Short Range Protection Masks should be considered only as escape equipment. For a given cartridge size, cartridge efficteney depends upon poison concentration and the user's breathing rate, neither of which ean be monitored easily. Any cartridge without protective plugs must be discarded. Exhibit 1.2¢ shows HyS cartridges that are identified by the letter B and are painted gray (international standard DIN 3183). The mask fitting isa round thread (ow 3189), 1, The eseape set must be worn around the neck during the entire operation. Exhibit 1.2¢ is a Draeger mask which provides a Parat ‘type pocket sized escape set. 2 Before the job each operator must be issued a mas and @ filtering: cartridge. 3. The operator must fit the mask and properly adjust the straps for correct tightness. Cheek the plugging inlet by bresthing into it. 4. The cartridge is then screwed to the mask. caurion Any cartridge found without protective plugs must. be discarded.” After the Job, the fartridge is thrown away. 1.0.9 Resuseitating Personnel From HS Exposure (Exhibit 1.26) ‘The resuscitation kit specified for use on the wireline jobs is the MSA 11 210905, supplied in a standard Sterfite sultease. Once the suiteaso has ‘been opened the key should be thrown away. cauTION ‘One resuscitation it must be on location before starting the job. Contents of the kit must be checked and tested before each job. 1.2.10 Responsibilities ‘A. Personnel Safety responsibilities must be clearly defined between Jonnston= Maceo and the client before starting the job. Johnston-Maceo recognizes that the rg owner oF client has primary responsibility for personnel and equipment safety, and the safety regulations prevailing on the rig must be respected. “a However, Johnston-Mace> personnel are the specialists on the equipment and techniques, and must make sure that emergency actions are defined clearly beforehand. This applies especially to circumstances under which the erew chief must stop the operation. Cent It is the client's responsibility to ensure that rig safety rogulations land evacuation procedures are understood and followed by the “Tohnston-Maceo personnel, Station Managers It is the Johnston-Macco station manager's responsibility to orgenize ‘the Job in cooperation with the client, and to assign tasks to each ferew member. It is the manager's responsibility also to see that all ‘erew members know what to do in ease of contamination, how to ‘operate safety equipment; and where the equipment is oeated.

The chain should be 5/18 inch in diameter and 15 feet long. The binder can be either the ratchet or boomer type. ‘Telescoping Gin Pole and Pins ‘The telescoping gin pole can have either two or three sections, The pole is attached to the tree first. These rope blocks are then attached to the top ‘section and the pole is extended. ‘The gin pole pins keep the sections extended. Some witeline companies use fa saddle attached to the wireline valve with a clamp. This saddle replaces the lower gin pole section so that only two sections need be lifted. Slip-on steps are used with this set-up. Using the saddle speeds rigging up because the chain and binder are not needed. However, this method limits the length of the luriestor you ean use. a . - Bm (yoo 5 Bye vise { Welthead Connection Exhibit 241 Primary Wireline Equipment De 2.1.3 Rope Blocks and Ropes Rope blocks ané ropes (Exhibit 21.8) are used to reise the lubricator.

Tt ‘eare to keep the rope free of dirt and grease, ‘and not tout the rope. Replace worn rope. 2.1.4 Tree Connection ‘The tree connection (Exhibit 21.4) used depends on how the eustomer rigs up the top of the erown valve. When the top of the tree is removed, the: ‘most commonly used trees have © thread supporting the tubing. This threed connection can be used if tubing pressure is $000 psi or less. A connection similar to the tree connection would be safer and more practieal for pressure above 5000 psi. ‘The tree connection adapts to the blowout preventer used. Most standard wireline valves rave half of a 3 {inch Unibott conneetfon. os Exhibit 28 Exhibit 21.18 Load Binder 2 2.15 Blowout Preventer (Wireline Valve) [A blowout preventer (Exhibits 21.5, 2.1.55, and 2.1.8e), sometimes celled | wireline valve joletes well pressure from the lubriestor sections without cutting the wireline. It works by elosing a set of rubber rams on the wire ‘and bleeding the well pressure from the lubricator. This procedure is often necessary during fishing operations. ‘The blowout preventer is required if tools ere stuck below the surface. if ‘this happens, the blowout preventer can be closed and weight added. ‘Then opening the preventer and allowing the weight bars to fall will release the ‘wire from the tools. “Johnstor-Maeeo normally USES Bowen preventers (Exhibit 2.1.88) for low pressure work (0 to $000 psi) and Bowen's Miller valve (Exhibit 21.86) fer high pressure work (6000 to 15,000 psi). A thorough working knowledge of these valves is necessary to properly use rig up equipment. Although a. third type of valve made by Omsco (Exhibit 2.1.5) is used less often, t should elso be studied. a Exhibit 2.1.9 ‘Rope Blocks and Ropes Exhibit 21.4 ‘Tree Connection 28 as aad Lubricator ‘A lubricator (Exhibit 2.1.6) permits introdueing equipment into the pressurized wellbore. The lubricator length depends on well pressure and the length of tools being run down the wellbore. The lower section is usually made up of 3-1/2 inch tubing with an inside diameter of 3 inches. ‘This allows 1/2 inch more clearance than needed to run Into 2-1/2 inch Inside diameter tubing - providing @ 1/2 inch clearance is standard ‘operating procedure. Standard sections are & feet long. The upper section or sections are usvelly ‘ade up of 2-8/8 inch OD tubing with and inside dlameter of 2 inches. ‘The upper section should accept the length of weight bars and jars needed to perform the job. Quick Unions Quick unions (Exhibits 2.1.7a and 2.1.76) are Serewed or welded on the ends of all lubricator sections, and are used to connect the lubrieator sections together. ‘The quiek union holés the well pressure with an O-ring seal. The unions slip Into ench other, and then a large nut is serewed to the female half to hole them together. They are considered safe because they cannot be unserewed under pressure. ‘The Exhibit shows the two types being used today. 29 Exhibit 2. Bowen Blowout Preventer 1.80 Exhibit .5¢ ‘Omsco Valve 28 2.18 Stuffing Box ‘The stuffing box (Exhibit 2.1.8) permits running the wireline into @ lubricator subjected to well pressure. All sizes of slick wireline can be used with a standard stuffing bor. Although several menufeeturers make stuffing boxes, the working priniples are the same for all makes. “The drawing shows how a stuffing box works. ‘The wireline runs through the upper sheave and enters the packing nut, ‘This nut compresses the packingy ‘to prevent leakage. It exerts pressure on the pecking gland. Below the packing gland is the packing. The packing material and the number of pieces used vary with the manufeeturer. The important thing to remember when replacing the packing is to use the same number of pieces that you ‘removed from the bor. Below the packing is the lower glang, a backup for the packing. ‘The lower section of the stufing box is bullt to accept a blowout preventer that is bullt Inte the lower part of the box. Tis blowout preventer is also referred to as a plunger. It will move a short distance up and down. In cease you should eut the pecking out, the plunger woulé move up and shut off the well flow. A small bleed-off valve is then epened and the pecking: ‘changed. A lange nut serewed into the bottom of the box acts as & plunger stop. xhibit 2.1.6 Lubricator orcs rio-rezmot wes Exhibit #.1.7a and 2.1.76 Otis and Bowen Unions 2.1.9 Grease Seal Stuffing Box [A grease seal stuffing box (Exhibit 2.1.9) was designed to aceommodate the use of various sizes of emooth-lay (stranded) line in well under extreme pressure. This stuffing box uses grease as a sealant, because it it difficult to seal off well pressure using a multl-lay line. ‘The grease is pumped into the stuffing box, under pressure, forming a barrier against the flow of wellhead fluids and gases. This completely seals ‘and lubricates the line, This stuffing box is also used with electric line. 24.10 Rope Socket ‘The rope socket (Exhibit 2.1.10) fastens the wire to the tool string. Tt has four parts ~ body, spring, spring support, and dise. The top of the rope socket body has & fishing neck that eecepts pulling tools in standard sizes, ‘The center is bored to accept any size wireline. The bottom is threeded inside to accept the stem. The spring acts as a shock ebsorber and # spacer, allowing full relative motion of the rope socket. "To assemble the rope socket, the wite is strung through the body, the spring, and the spring support. Ther it is tied sround the dise and “wrapped around itself. The rope socket and tool string OD must be the same, The total string OD must be the proper size for the minimum 1D of the tubing.

Immediately below the fishing neck, the jar body Is split. Below St an opposing piece is sso split, and the two parts are linked together ‘much like ehain. ‘The bottom of the body Is threaded inside to accept running or pulling tools Jars are normally used below the stem so that the stem's weight will close the jars when an obstruction is encountered. In all phases of Wwiteline operations, jars ere needed to manipulete the tools that are lowered and retrieved from the well. The only time jars may not be run | when @ bottomhole pressure instrument is used. NOTE Before the pressure instrument is run, the tubing should first be cheeked out thoroughly with fools larger than the instrument and jars Tigged in the string to make sure tubing is ‘unobstructed ‘The Jars are used to beat downward on an obstruction. They are: operated by pulling at the surface until tre jars open, then relessing the reel quickly. The weight of the stem delivers en impact on the obstruction. An upward impact can also be delivered by reversing this ‘operation. Beeause proper jar operation is imperative, jars shoulé be Inspected for straightness and free movement before they are run. Benbit 2112 Wireine Jar at 24.11 Stem ‘The stem (Exhibit 2.1.11) is built in various sizes, lengths, outside iameters, and fishing necks. The top is threaded to screw inside « rope socket or another piece of stem. Immediately below the threeds is a {ishing neck that will accept any standard pulling tool. ‘The stem is solid unless additional weight is necessary, it may be lead- filled if required. ‘The bottom Is also threaded with a box to accept ‘additional stems or jars. ‘The stem (or sinker bar) supplies weight needed for the wireline to drop own the welibure wgainst the pressures encountered in most oil and gas wells. The stem’s length and size depend on the minimum tubing opening. Refer to Section 3, Exhibit 2.26, for the stem weight per foot for various outside diameters.

Stroke jars utilize the weight of stems (connected immediately above them) to deliver upward or downward jarring Impacts controlled by manipulating the Wwitelin at the surface. Jarring impact depends upon stem weight, stroke length, size and depth of the tools, and the density and viscosity of fluid in tubing. It is not recommended using 1-1/2 Inch OD stroke jars in pipe larger than 2-1/2 {neh ID, because of possible bowing of buckling. This could enuse the two sections to seistor, and prevent the jars from entering restricted openings.

Make sure the tine is secure and, if possible, splice the new line with ‘the line still on the wireline reel. 4. The blind box of the cutter bar must be the correct size to fit the ‘eenter of the rope soaket where the line ie extended. Example: 2-3/8 inch tubing requires 1-1/2 ines OD blind box. 2-1/8 inch tubing requires 1-8/4 inch OD blind box. Allow enough time for the cutter bar to drop onto the stuck tools. 5.

STEEL PIN OR standard pulling tool, Otis type RS or RJ SILVER STEEL Is easily converted to a type B pulling ‘tool by cutting the skirt. It consists of a housing, a connecting sub, a core with a set of three cogs all held {In place by a core nut. The dogs pivot against the inside lower edge of the housing. ‘There is approximately 8/8 ineh vertical travel of the core within the housing. ‘This relative movement controls the piston and releasing of the dogs. When the core is held in its uppermost position within the housing against the sub by the shear pin, the éogs are forced agalnst the housing by the spring. The lower ends of the dogs are in « latching position. ‘The dogs have, however, some elasticity and ean move apart to engage the pulling flange of the subsurface control. Furthermore, any downward jarring is transmitted through the sub and cote to the manérel of the subsurface control. ‘Any pull on line or upward jarring is transmitted to the core and dogs by the ‘shear pin. It is practically impossible to shear the pin by a uniform upward pull on the wireline. a Exhibit 4.1 ‘Otis Type "BP Pulling Toot 1 In the event it ie difficult to pull the subsurface control, perform a few sharp.

When the dogs are in front of the fishing neck recess, spring ‘ection expands the dogs, and the tool I ready to be lowered into the hole. When the mandrel is landed, downward jarring stears the pin, ériving the core own behind the dogs. This allows the dogs to retract (spring holds the core in the down position). Retrieve the tool.
