Event
Description
Inspect and Ready
Tool
Inspect Volant CRT:
Packer Cup for undue wear or leak path.
Dies for debris/ice/wax or other build up,
Hex head bolts for adequate torque. CAUTION: Watch for pinch points!
Ensure adequate air pressure (70-110psi),
Follow winter guidelines when necessary.
Dope packer cup.
Rigging In
‘Stab Casing Running Tool (CRT) into first joint to be run and set by inserting a %" bar
into the bump ring and rotate the tool joint clockwise using a chain tong if viewed
from the top of the CRTi.
NOTE: After dies are set, ensure tool is properly engaged to pipe and cannot fall out
while being hoisted over head.
Grip pipe containing CRT in pipe handler.
Present CRT tool joint box to top drive quill ensuring thread axis alignment.
Engage tool joint and make up to proper torque value for connection as listed below.
***Visually confirm that tool joint threads have fully made up to top drive
connection***
Alternative to using first joint is to hoist tool up to rig floor using “crown winch’, set
tool in stump or grip CRTi tool joint with “iron roughneck and make-up quill
connection.
“Do not grip Upper Cam Housing, Cage, or Float Cushion if so equipped***
Pick Up Casing Joint
Top drive positioned to receive casing joint.
Pipe arm grips pipe and presents box end near top drive quill axis.
Stab Too!
Move top drive and pipe together to stab CRT into joint.
Apply enough weight to enable initial reaction torque between CRT and joint.
Set Tool
Rotate to the right until at least 1,000 ft/Ibs is reached through pipe handler.
NOTE: Bump ring should not move relative to pipe

Makeup Connection
Position pine in derrick and ensure alignment with stump.
Stab casing connection
Turn left to “pop” thread to locate start point. (optional)
‘Activate make up monitoring & control system. (optional),
‘Turn to the right until make up is complete. ~ Feather brake to allow top drive to.
follow as threads engage OR compensator lowers pipe
Review data, accept/reject* make up according to manufacturer's criteria,
*Volant assumes no responsibility for either providing or controlling Make up
Torques
Lower String
Pick up string out of slips.
Lower string into hole
Apply right-hand torque of 1,000 ft/Ibs or rotate to the right to minimize risk of
unintentional release.
Release right hand torque gradually to avoid rapid left hand rotation. (Full
disengagement from pipe requires combination of left hand tool rotation AND axial
compression of tool.)
Be aware of stroke in cushion sub or tool when equipped.
Set slips
Load transfers from too! to slips.
Release Tool
‘Make sure pumps are turned off and pressure has been bled down.
Set down and turn to the left to release. In order for tool to fully disengage from
pipe it is necessary to feather the top drive weight down,
Observe break out torques and record them in job notes.
Tool is disengaged / locked out when alignment marks on tool coincide,
Move top drive to ‘ready’ position as pipe handler positions next joint.
Break Out Casing
Connection
Set tool as described above.
Maintain extended axial position. (Do not set down)
Apply left hand torque to break connection. (Too! will rotate through full ‘set’
rotation before applying breakout torque)
Make sure axial travel is available for casing threads to advance out of the box.
Releasing GRTi From
Pipe After Joint Has
Been Backed Out.
‘Back out joint and lift with the CRT/ to the position where the pipe handling,
equipment can accept casing joint,
Grip pipe with handling equipment.
Set down and turn less than % rotation to the right.
Confirm set down weight and rotate to the left until paint ines coincide,
‘Slowly pull up and remove CRTi from casing joint.
**When removing CRTi from casing joint, pipe handler must be in-line with CRTi.
Misalignment may cause casing to pick up on CRTi causing stress to pipe handler.
Remove CRTi slowly from pipe**OLANT | Volant casing Running Tool (cRTI) Procedure —

Rigging Out
tet
Release and “lock out” tool in stump.
Remove air valve and bleed off air pressure in CRTi, (optional)
Lift bump ring 4”-6"off casing collar before breaking tool joint.
Use iron roughneck to break tool joint torques.
Install lifting nubbin and winch tool down to waiting truck,
| NOTES: a) Use appropriate tag line to control tool during overhead lifting
b) Always use proper tle downs and techniques to secure load
Storage T._ Ensure Volant CRT is free of debris/mud/moisture prior to storage.
***1f CRT dies were submerged in drilling fluid, please ensure maintenance is
performed prior to the next casing run***
2. Always store Volant’s CRTi in an approved storage container.
3. Maintain containers internal cleanliness and place container in safe location.

4. Ensure die teeth are free from foreign material that could impair engagement with the casing
2. Do not attempt to run casing with internal coatings or liners without Volant engineering approval
3. Ensure casing pressure has been released before disengaging CRTi. Stay clear when tool is removed
from casing after pumping
4, Note that casing seal leakage in extremely cold conditions can result in mud freezing behind jaws
resulting in difficulty fully disengaging CRT
a. Avoid this condition by bleeding down ALL pressure prior to disengaging CRTi particularly
where misalignment is severe.
b. Circulate or steam to resolve.
5. Always maintain right hand / clockwise torque while running into the hole.
6. Always release right hand torque gradually to avoid inertia-generated left hand torque that may
partially release tool. (Full disengagement requires left hand tool rotation AND axial compression of
tool)
7. Keep hands or loose clothing away from rotating tool/casing.QOLANTtT

8, Do not rotate clockwise when tool is not fully inserted into the casing. CRT may fire resulting in rapid
closure of pinch points and tool damage.
9. Check air pressure if tool becomes difficult to set/operate during job.
10.When temperature is below -10°C, steam tool before and throughout casing run to keep seals warm
and functioning and to avoid packer cup damage.
‘11.8e aware that packer cup friction and/or side load may be sufficient to pick up a single joint. Dope
the packer cup and/or utilize iron roughneck to hold pipe in slips until sufficient string weight is
developed (usually 2-3 full length joints).
12.Confirm all “hangers”, “pup joints” and “marker joints" are of the same size/weight as CRTi setup.
