1. Introduction
The Bentec "350 – t- AC Euro Rig" is a Drilling System designed and engineered to operate
under European conditions. All equipment and materials are in compliance with the current
ISO. DIN, and European standards including the ATEX specification.
The system is designed to be highly mobile; capable of being easily disassembled into truck
package sizes for easy transportation.
The whole package consists of:
- Main Rig Structure Models

- Special Drilling Machinery
- Drilling Instrumentation Package
- Special Drilling Enhanced Equipment
- Power Generation Plant
This comprehensive set of documents will demonstrate "completeness and functionality" of the
assembled and function tested drilling rig.
This document is part of Bentec's overall "Quality Management System".

2. Terminology and Procedures in General
Factory Acceptance Test (FAT)

The FAT is based on test protocols prepared by the sub-suppliers which might be witnessed
by DAFORA SA. The FAT certificate follows the sub-suppliers standard procedures.
Considering the use of standard drilling equipment – not all sub-suppliers are performing FAT
tests.
Mechanical Completion (MC)

Commissioning activities are based on mechanical completion checks to assure the
completeness of mechanical, electrical and instrumentation installation.
Additionally all required safety systems must be available.
- support structures, platforms, access structures
- safety precautions
- equipment – erection and alignment
- electrical wiring completion
- instrumentation installation completion
- loop check completion
- pressure tests
Cold Commissioning (CC)

Cold commissioning is split in activities first without energizing the equipment and second with
energizing the equipment.
- check of equipment tags and coding (if required)
- check of dimensions, clearness, movements
- check of equipment lubrication
- tests according to sub-suppliers requirements
- rotation testing
- data exchange to the Digital Control System (DCS)
- interlock testing
- functional test as far as possible (mud & high pressure system with water, etc.)
Hot Commissioning (HC)

Hot commissioning is performed under operation conditions as far as possible.
- re-adjustment of mechanical equipment (if necessary)
- adjustment and calibration of instruments and control loops (if necessary)
- vibration-, noise-performance tests under operating conditions as far as possible
- performance checks
- reliability checks
- as-built documentation update

Date: Serial No.:
ACCEPTANCE METHOD
Resources:
The Spin Torq TS80 is a small Iron Roughneck and pipe spinner
combined that is mounted in a swiveling arrangement on the rig
floor. This set up does not require tracks and has a small footprint
on the rig floor.
The ST 80 is mounted on a swiveling pedestal and swinging of the
unit is done manually by the operator.
The hydraulic power comes from the main HPU in the structure of
the rig. Hoses for the ST80 come through the drill floor near the
pedestal and go up through the aft frame to the hydraulic manifold
of the unit. A ball valve is fitted in the supply line. Hydraulic
isolation must be done at the HPU.
The controls for extending/ retracting, lifting/lowering, make up
/break out, spin in and spin out are all manually operated.
The nominal size range is 4-1/2” to 8-1/2”: drill pipe from 3-1/2” to
5-1/2” and BHA’s up to 8-1/2”
Break out torque is 108.500 Nm and make up torque is 81.500
Nm.

Air Drier Set. Made by Zander

Type KEN-MT 200-1400
Serial No.
The desiccant type air drier has two chambers filled with a reagent
material
Moist air is delivered to the first chamber by the compressor and
the air is led from the bottom up through the chamber where the
moist in the air is absorbed by the reagent material. The dry air is
led to the rig air system through an after filter. The absorbent
material in the other chamber is being regenerated by dry air that
flows in reverse direction through the chamber. The regeneration
and switch over of the chambers is an automatic, continuous
process.
Check the location of installation. There must be at least one
3.1
meter free space around and above the air drier
Inspect air piping to- and from the air drier. Operate all manual ball
3.2
valves, inlet, outlet and bypass
When pressure relief valves are fitted, check that the exhaust of
3.3
the valve is directed to a safe area
After connecting electricity: check the indications on the control

This vacuum degasser acts as a separator of drilling fluid and
entrapped gas.
Drilling fluid is pumped to the degasser from the shaker tank
through the decentralization tube, where the fluid is pumped
through small openings and is devided into small particles. A
vacuum pump maintains a vacuum in the degasser vessel and the
entrapped gas is separated from the fluid. The vacuum pump
pumps the gas through the separator (5) and fluid particles are
collected in the separator vessel. This vessel must be regularly
drained. The gas free drilling fluid goes to another tank and is
ready for re-use.
