Reaming Organisation
1. The shakers must be monitored continuously and the volume of solids being removed from the well bore should
be recorded.
2. While drilling or reaming in problem formations have two people at the console: one man on the brake and the
other on the pumps.
3. Ensure that the driller (Check also Driller Job Descriptions) knows what actions to take in the event of problems.
Are overpull limits, freeing procedures and reaming practices understood? Are written instructions for the driller
prepared and updated regularly?
4. Mud loggers will record all parameters. Significant changes in trends should be reported immediately to the driller
and rig drilling supervisor, then investigated.

1. If the hole packs-off, immediately shut down the pumps and slowly bleed the pressure under the pack-off down to
less than 500 psi.
2. While reaming in problem formations the hole may need to be wiped at regular intervals, if conditions require it.
3. Do not use the Soft Torque while reaming as it may disguise torque trends.
4. Make sure the pipe is free before setting the pipe slips.
5. After drilling or reaming down, the cuttings should be circulated above the BHA prior to picking up.
6. The preferred practice is to always try to work the string past a tight spot as a first option. However, overpull limits
must be known and used. Work up to the overpull limit in stages ensuring free movement in the other direction at
each stage.
7. Limiting overpulls to half the BHA weight has proven to be a successful strategy in avoiding stuck pipe.
8. If the top drive stalls out during reaming operations there is a great deal of stored energy in the torqued up drill
string, always release this torque slowly.
9. When back-reaming do not overpull the pipe into the slips to connect the top drive.
10. When washing in, with a drilling mud motor in the BHA, rotate the whole drill string at low rpm.
