SERVICE DATA SHEET

TITLE: ANNEX 2 LANDING STRING EQUIPMENT SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Subsea test tree:

 The fluted hanger shall have an adjustable feature to allow the slick joint to be
varied over a given range.
 It shall be possible to position the subsea tree in the rig's BOP stack so that middle
piperams can be closed on the slick joint and it shall be possible to close
shear/blindram above the latched subsea tree assembly.
 The subsea tree assembly shall be equipped with a shearable sub located across the
rig BOP shear-ram. Required force to shear shall be documented.
 The subsea tree control system shall be equipped with a remote station for
emergency closure of the tree.
 The subsea test tree shall be equipped with a chemical injection system with a
double non return valve located in tool assembly. The injection line shall be an
integral part of the control hose bundle.
 The control hose bundle shall be one single length without splices or intermediate
connections.
 The subsea test tree shall be able to cut coiled tubing with internal monoconductor
cable and/or 7/16" logging cable.
 The subsea tree shall be able to unlatch under tension. It shall however not be
possible to accidentally unlatch the tree while running in hole.
 The subsea tree shall be equipped with a mechanical unlatch feature to be operated
as a secondary mean in case of lost hydraulic power.

 The subsea tree shall be able to transmit any torque required to operate downhole
equipment.
BOP safety valve:
 Shall be installed in the test string such that BOP rams can be closed on a slick
joint above the valve.
 The safety valve assembly shall be equipped with a shearable sub located across
the rig BOP shear-ram. Required force to shear shall be documented.
 The valve shall be of a pump through type.
 The valve shall be able to cut coiled tubing with internal monoconductor cable
and/or 7/16" logging cable.

 The valve shall be equipped with a chemical injection system with a double non
return valve located in tool assembly. The injection line shall be an integral part of
the control hose bundle.
Lubricator valve:
 The lubricator valve shall be designed to be hydraulically pumped open and
closed, without failing to any position in case of lost control pressure. It shall be
possible to pump through the valve and also to pressure test against the valve from
 both below and above.

 Pressure lock between multiple valves run in combination shall not be possible.
Retainer valve:
 The valve shall retain landing string fluid under pressure following a disconnect.
 The valve shall be multi-shot.
 The valve shall when included on the string not impair disconnect time.
 The subsea test tree and retainer valve operating mechanism shall be such that both
automatically go to a safe closed position if the shearable sub is severed.

 The subsea test tree and retainer valve systems shall include a system to allow
pressure testing of the landing string following reconnection.
