PRE-JOB SHOP PREPARATION

INTRODUCTION

The objective of these written Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) is threefold. First, it is to
establish a one-system procedure for all field operations so that each member of the service team
will know what his responsibilities are and perform his duties efficiently and safely. secondly, it is to
ensure equipment reliability by defining the test procedures and maintenance routing. Third, it is to
promote customer satisfaction through expedient performance of a high-quality service by efficient
operation of reliable and safe equipment.

All personnel will adhere to all KDE and pertinent governmental safety regulations. While at the
wellsite, all personnel will also adhere to the customer's safety regulations.

To expedite the development of these SOP, it is assumed that all of the equipment in a location is
clean, checked out and ready to go on a service job and that the engineer has familiarized himself
with the procedures referenced herein and the operating procedures for the type of equipment he
is using.

It is also assumed that a normal service team consists of an engineer and operators; even though
a service team may be more or less in number, the general principles herein can be readily
adapted to the need through team discussion.

No manual can specifically outline each task a team member should do, but check lists in the
manual or referenced check lists will remind the team of the tasks to be done, and that the proper
division of duties and responsibilities is the best way to ensure efficient and complete execution of
the tasks.

A service job begins upon receipt of a job order. The work should progress as illustrated in the
Flow Diagram of a Standard Operation. The discussion that follows will set forth the details of the
procedures named in the boxes of this flow diagram.

 STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES 7/2/2025

PRE-JOB PLANNING
Job Order Review performed by the service team; the dispatcher and the manager should be
included in the review.
1. Verify changes in the Job Order with the Manager.
2. Note well conditions: total depth, hole and/or casing sizes, borehole fluid characteristics,
shut-in pressure (if any), wellhead control equipment and all other pertinent data.
（Need fill out Well Reference Data or PCL Well Conditions Data Checklist）
3. Determine outside equipment needs (if any) from local suppliers or other bases. Make
arrangements to obtain that equipment. （Need fill out Downhole tool configuration or
Auxiliary Equipment Checklist）
4. Check compatibility of all equipment with each other and with the well conditions.
5. Check hoist unit's wireline for sufficient length to reach total depth and for diameter
compatible with wellhead pressure and borehole fluid.
6. Assign duties and responsibilities of each member of the service team for both shop and
wellsite operations. Let there be no question about who will load what, who will obtain
wellsite information from the customer's representative, who will perform the R/A
surveys, who will obtain mud samples, etc.
7. Review service unit check after last job for problems and required equipment. （Need fill
out Unit Pre-job Checklist）
8. Review all necessary governmental regulations.
9. Review route and travel arrangements to wellsite or dock. set departure time allowing
sufficient time for Pre-Job Preparation. Estimate travel time including stops. Plan for
all KDE vehicles to travel together, when possible, and for arrival at location with
sufficient time to check out all equipment before well is ready.
10. Coordinate travel times and routes of all vehicles including vehicles outside the KDE
location.
11. Hold safety meeting briefly to review regulations and procedures during load-out and
journey to wellsite.（Need fill out Safety Job Analysis , Base Pre-job QHSE Meeting
and Request for Performance of Extra-Hazardous Services）

PRE-JOB SHOP PROCEDURES

Before the procedure, field engineer must fill out Workshop safety inspection checklist.

A. Instrument Checkout
If time permits, hook up all primary strings of instruments with umbilical cords (where
applicable) and check the response of each instrument by performing its calibration
verification or test box check. Be careful to preserve the identities of the primary string and
backup string.

B. Equipment load-out
To be performed by the operators. The "Check Lists" are designed to be a memory jogger
guide. They are not complete in every detail, and all of the items listed may not be required.
1. Unit Pre job Check List Verify that all the check list equipment is aboard (or not required).
2. Instrument Check List Verify that all of the instruments for the requested services are
aboard and their asset numbers and switch positions (where applicable) are recorded.
Designate both a primary string and a back-up string of instruments. To avoid rechecking
asset numbers, load each string in designated racks.
Verify that all calibrators needed are aboard and their asset numbers recorded.
Verify that all needed sources are aboard, secured, and their asset numbers are recorded.
Verify that Source Handling Equipment is aboard and in working order.
3. Perforator or Coregun Check List Verify that all required guns, associated equipment,
special tools, charges, detonator cord and detonators are aboard and properly stored in
approved containers and the containers correctly positioned and properly secured in
place.
4. FMT Check List Verify that all needed FMT tools and associated equipment are aboard.
5. Equipment Check List Verify that all needed Baker setting tools, firing heads, power
charges and associated equipment are aboard and their explosives are in approved
containers.
6. Verify compatibility of pressure control equipment with the wellhead equipment and
expected pressure. If pressure control equipment is required, on operations where
McKissick sheaves can be used as both upper sheave and floor sheave, cut the cable
close to the cable head and thread it through the control head or pack off. Assemble the

CONFIDENTIAL Page 6 of 28
 STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES 7/2/2025

control head for operation as per Bowen brochure 5/8380 in PRESSURE OPERATIONS
section of this volume of the RDFO. Rehead the cable; this step is not necessary where
Type C Oil Saver is used because a 3-1/2" cable head will pass through it.
7. Placard all vehicles properly and check for registration certificate, vehicle license plate or
permit requirements for the upcoming trip. Check that hazardous materials are in proper
containers correctly labeled and secured in transport vehicle that complies with applicable
regulations.

C. Engineer's Load-Out Check List

1. Obtain prior run logs, offset information, reference material needed, tapes, CLS supplies,
needed forms, log headings, splicing utensils and current calibrations for all instruments
aboard.
2. Pre-Job Paperwork to be completed by the Engineer. Complete all documents required by
local, state and federal regulations such as source shipping forms, Truck Report,
explosives documentation and shipping certification, etc. Verify that the driver's log is
updated.
3. Final check of loaded equipment and supplies.
4. Fill out Engineers Load-out Checklist, Explosive Usage Stock Record, Pressure Control
Pre-job Checklist, PCL Equipment Checkout Procedure and VSP Operation Checklist(If
need).

D. Vehicle Checkout
1. Review the Daily Usage Form and verify satisfactory levels of oil, fuel, water and air.
2. Check insulation and continuity of the wireline.

E. Recording System Checkout

1. For offshore skid units this check is to be made at the platform.
2. Mix darkroom chemicals in the correct trays. If a paper recorder or thermal plotter is used,
this step is unnecessary.
3. Make a recording and check it for good quality.
4. Check the printer for proper operation and quality of prints.

the catline, secure the floor sheave in raised position using a floor sheave stand or a short
chain attached to the derrick.
10. Thread the cable head through the upper sheave only if a McKissick floor sheave is used;
if a series 3031 sheave is used as a floor sheave, thread the cable through both lower and
upper sheave.
11. Have the upper sheave raised to a position in the derrick at or just above the "derrick man"
platform (monkey board). While raising the sheave, hold back tension on the cable on
both sides of the sheave to prevent the cable from jumping out of the sheave's groove;
also observe the weight indicator cable to guard against excessive tension on it.

CAUTION
All of the cable must be kept in view of the hoistman (or an assistant who can signal the
hoistman) in case the cable becomes entangled with any equipment, rigging, etc.

RECORDING SYSTEM CHECKOUT

Repeat procedure given in PRE-JOB SHOP PROCEDURES step E.

HORIZONTAL MAKE-UP AND VERIFICATIONS

A. Make-up and Verification Procedures

1. Horizontal calibration verification may be performed on instruments whose response is
minimally affected by their environment. This must be done whether the well is ready or
not.
2. Verify the instrument order of a combination string for correct curve delays.
3. Connect the cable head to the uppermost instrument with an umbilical cord.
4. Power up the string with the required voltage at the cable head and allow at least 10
minutes of warm-up. Note the voltage reading at the surface PSU and use this value when
the string is powered up again.
5. Perform Before Log Verification (Verify B). All calibrators must be installed with their
handles pointing straight up. All personnel should remain a minimum of 20 ft (6 m) from
instruments during counting periods. While checking background counts, ensure that all
sources are far away from the instrument. Upon completion of verification of a radioactive
service requiring a logging source, return the source to its pig and secure in the storage
area until needed.
6. Note the exact location of the string so that the After Log Verification (Verify A) can be made
in the same location to ensure identical environmental effects on both Before and After
Log Verifications. Exception: a GR horizontal Verify B and vertical Verify A is acceptable.
7. Complete recorder set-up as if this string were ready to run in the hole.
8. Save the System to disk if necessary.
9. Repeat the foregoing procedure for each string of instruments. If time permits, verify
back-up strings as well as primary strings.
10. Perform calibrations when using analog recording equipment.

B. Pressure Control Equipment Assembly

1. Pass cable head through the made-up sections of the lubricator.
2. Tighten the quick-connect nuts.

CONFIDENTIAL Page 12 of 28
 STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES 7/2/2025

3. Assemble the crossover and wellhead flange, and install this assembly on the wellhead. Do
not attempt to install this assembly with the lubricator attached.

C. Single Pick-Up Procedure

This procedure can be used when vertical make-up of instrument string is unnecessary and
for a string short enough that raising it as one piece will not damage it.
1. Install the Lubricator on the crossover on the wellhead using the catline.
a. For a casing Lubricator using a Type C Oil Saver, the control head body should be
installed on top of the Lubricator before the Lubricator is put in place. The packing
elements must be assembled on the cable above the cable head.
b. For a tubing Lubricator using a G.I.T. control head, install the Lubricator without control
head attached. The control head must be installed on the cable; cut off the cable head,
thread the cable through the control head and rehead (this may have been done at the
shop).
2. Pick up the instruments or tools.
CAUTION
All of the cable must be kept in view of the hoistman (or an assistant who can signal
the hoistman) in case the cable becomes entangled with any equipment, rigging, etc.
a. For ballistics devices, stop Onan generator and check safety switches for safe and off
position; the operator closest to the ballistics device must have control of the key to the
Safety Key Switch.
b. Attach the cable head to the first-run string including sinker bars, if any. Install
maximum temperature thermometers.
c. Put a Buggy onto the bottom end of the string. For Buggy guidance, attach a short piece
of rope or chain (6 to 10 ft) (2 to 3 m) to it.
d. Install Gooseneck onto fishing bell if control head is not on the line.
e. Raise the string with the hoist unit.
f. Zero the odometer after stopping the lowest measure point, bottom shot, or CCL at
depth datum; also set secondary odometer to proper depth.
g. Lower string into borehole or lubricator, if used, and make-up the packing elements of
the Oil Saver or the Line Wiper, or G.I.T. control head. To facilitate stabbing of string
and control head make-up, use an appropriate ladder properly secured to the
lubricator. Alternately, a properly secured
stabbing board may be used.
WARNING
Never climb a lubricator while the lubricator contains pressure.
h. Make "Critical Depth Measurements.

CONFIDENTIAL Page 13 of 28
 STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES 7/2/2025

3. Alternately, pick up string and lubricator as one piece.

a. Pull the made-up string, sinker bars, cable head, and thermometer(s) into the lubricator
with the control head attached. Screw a plug onto the bottom of the lubricator.
b. Raise the assembly as one piece with the catline. Take the slack out of the cable with
the hoist while raising the lubricator.
CAUTION
All of the cable must be kept in view of the hoistman (or an assistant who can signal
the hoistman) in case the cable becomes entangled with any equipment, rigging, etc.
c. Raise the string off of the plug with the hoist and remove the plug. Raise the lubricator
above the bottom of the string with the catline.
d. Zero the odometer after stopping the lowest measure point, bottom shot, or CCL at
depth datum; also set secondary odometer to proper depth.
e. Install lubricator on wellhead.
f. Make "Critical Depth Measurements".

CONFIDENTIAL Page 14 of 28
 STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES 7/2/2025

VERTICAL MAKE-UP AND VERIFICATIONS

A. Well Head Control Equipment Make-Up

1. Thread the cable through the control head. Except for the Type C Oil Saver, this requires
cutting off the cable head, passing the cable through the control head, and reheading the
cable head. This may have been done at the shop.
2. Assemble the lubricator in a horizontal position.
3. Pass the cable head through the lubricator and attach it to the sinker bars, if any.
4. Make up the control head onto the lubricator, connect the hydraulic, grease, and flow hoses.
5. Raise the lubricator with the rig line. While raising, put a loop in the flow hose close to the
control head and tape the hose to the lubricator about every 10 ft (3 m).
6. Suspend lubricator high in the derrick.

B. Instruments and Tools Make-Up

WARNINGS
The borehole must be covered or the source catcher installed whenever calibration
hardware or sources are over the borehole. Once a R/A source is installed, minimize
exposure of personnel to radiation; do not stop the source at "man level" for long
periods of time.
1. Verify the instrument order of a combination string for correct curve delays.
2. Connect electronics and mandrel sections together on the catwalk if their combined length
permits handling without danger of deforming their chassis.
NOTE
Refer to individual instrument operating instructions for any exceptions to this
procedure!
3. Connect some of the lowest instruments in the string together with clevises.
CAUTION
Use only cast stainless steel thread protectors when clevising.
4. Raise the lowest instrument(s) (with tool head clamp in place) with hoist unit or with the rig
line; if the rig line is used, attach it to a shackle for connection to the bail of the thread
protector at the top of the instrument(s).
CAUTION

CONFIDENTIAL Page 15 of 28
 STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES 7/2/2025

All of the cable must be kept in view of the hoistman (or an assistant who can signal
the hoistman) in case the cable becomes entangled with any equipment, rigging, etc.

5. Lower the first instrument(s) into the make-up stand positioned over the borehole or rat hole,
or into the lubricator (if any), and suspend the instrument(s) from the tool head clamp.
6. Pick up another instrument in like manner and connect to the first.
7. Repeat process until the string is completely assembled.
8. Attach the cable head to the top instrument in the string.
9. Raise the string with the hoist unit enough to remove the tool head clamp. The string is then
ready to go into the hole.
10. Perform Before Log Verifications (Verify B) for instruments requiring vertical verification.

CONFIDENTIAL Page 16 of 28
 STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES 7/2/2025

CRITICAL DEPTH MEASUREMENTS

A. Determine string length. This is the distance from the lowest measure point on the string to the
center of the cable head make-up collar. It is the sum of the make-up lengths of all the
instruments, explosive devices, downhole tools and cable head in the string, less the distance
from the lowest measure point to the bottom of the string.
B. Reset odometer to string length when cable head collar is at depth datum when string is too
long to zero lowest measure point at depth datum; also reset secondary odometer to proper
depth. If odometer has been zeroed as in step A.2.f or A.3.d of the Single Pick-Up Procedure,
this step may be omitted.
C. Calculate casing re-entry depth. The sum of string length (including bridle and torpedo length, if
applicable) and casing shoe depth is the odometer reading when the cable head (or torpedo)
will re-enter the casing.
D. Calculate BOP re-entry depth. If depth datum is above BOP, the sum of the distance from depth
datum to the bottom of BOP and the string length (including bridle and torpedo length, if
applicable) is the odometer reading when the cable head (or torpedo) will re-enter the BOP
(BOP re-entry depth).
NOTE
If depth datum is below BOP depth, the distance from depth datum to the bottom of
BOP must be subtracted from the string length (including bridle and torpedo length, if
applicable) to obtain BOP re-entry depth.
E. Install Lubricator and control head if required and not already installed. Lower the tool string into
the Tool Trap to act as a guide while lowering the lubricator. Slowly and carefully lower the
lubricator until it is in place and install it.
F. Calculate control head stop depth. The riser height (distance from depth datum to top of control
head) subtracted from the sum of string length (including bridle length, if applicable) and
control head length gives the odometer reading when the cable head (or torpedo) reaches the
control head on top of the lubricator.
G. Pressure test Lubricator if required - make sure that the cable head is against the control head
before pressuring up the lubricator.
CAUTION
Casing shoe, bottom of BOP and control head are the three most likely places
for hang-up and/or pullout. Approach them slowly with care! Keep air pressure
to drum clutch at lowest allowable pressure.

H. Fill out Depth Control and Through-Tubing Depth Control.

PRESSURE EQUALIZATION

A. Bump the cable head against the control head.

CAUTION
When the cable head is against the control head, a downward force applied between the
floor sheave and hoist drum exerts a force many times the applied force at the cable
head; cable head pullout will result if the applied force is too great.

B. Equalize the pressure inside of the lubricator by slowly bleeding well pressure into the
lubricator.

DOWNHOLE OPERATIONS

Make depth measurements per RDFO-A BOREHOLE DEPTH MEASUREMENTS.

A. Going Downhole
1. Open tool catcher, tool trap, and other wellhead control valves, if used. Close the tool
catcher and/or tool trap after instrument string is below BOP.
2. Descent rate should be as fast as safely possible after clearing BOP. Do not over run the
tool with the cable. Do not change cable speed abruptly. (Refer to table: GUIDELINES for
MAXIMUM SAFE HOIST SPEED.)
3. Determine line weight approximately 100 ft (30 m) above casing shoe depth. Record it to
the nearest 100 lbs. (50 kg) while hoisting up.
4. Verify caliper to casing I.D. approximately 100 ft (30 m) above casing shoe.
5. Check casing shoe depth while hoisting up; record it after checking the magnetic mark
nearest casing shoe and correcting odometer reading for measure wheel error and/or line
stretch. Do not reset odometer to driller's casing shoe depth.
6. Drop resistivity instrument into open hole and stop. Minimize risk of sticking by leaving the
rest of the string inside casing, except for a laterolog device which must have the entire
bridle out of the casing.
7. Verify B (or calibrate if applicable) the resistivity instrument.
8. Darkroom chemicals must be mixed and in the correct trays (when applicable).
9. The printer must operate properly.
10. Adjust odometer reading just above total depth (TD). Check and record magnetic mark
depth and line weight to nearest 100 lb. (50 kg). Use stretches charts to correct odometer
reading if necessary.
11. Approach TD at a slow descent rate not to exceed 50 FPM.
12. Immediately after tagging bottom, pick up to check stickiness.

B. Perform Services
1. Come up to record the log, of whatever type, over the interval of interest. The log may be
open hole, cased hole, CCL, etc.).
2. Log repeat sections, as required.
3. Check repeatability of repeat sections.
4. Position the tool at the depth of interest for stationary services.
5. Check log quality

C. Coming out of hole

1. Ascent rate depends on many factors such as type of downhole instruments or tools,
borehole conditions, line condition, etc. It may range from a few feet to several hundred
feet per minute. It must be slow where chances of sticking are high such as bad boreholes,
casing shoe, packers, seating nipples, BOP, control head, etc. (Refer to table:
GUIDELINES for MAXIMUM SAFE HOIST SPEED.)

NOTES
a. Above table represents hoist speeds for experienced hoist operators under ideal well
conditions.
b. Factors affecting hole conditions include hole deviation, mud system, time since
circulation, and differential pressure between the formation and mud column.
c. GIT speeds are dependent on-line condition, well pressure, flow tube clearance, and
well contents (dry gas).

 STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES 7/2/2025

d. Restriction and downhole hazard speeds are dependent on operator

experience, hoist system used, and auto shut-down system settings.
2. Observe the weight indicator for signs of abnormal pull.
WARNING
Any time the SWL (Safe Working Load) of the floor chain, elevator bar, break-over
pin, load cell, or sheave wheels must be exceeded, the rig floor MUST be cleared
of all personnel. (Refer to RIG EQUIPMENT in RDFO Volume B.)
3. Ensure odometer accuracy by checking magnetic marks before pulling through known
critical depths.
4. Pull entire string into lubricator if used. Bump the cable head against the control head.
CAUTION
When the cable head is against the control head, a downward force applied between
the floor sheave and hoist drum exerts a force many times the applied force at the
cable head; cable head pullout will result if the applied force is too great.
5. Close the BOP if there is well pressure.
6. Bleed off lubricator pressure.
7. Verify A is the reverse order of the Verify B procedures and in the same locations as nearly
as possible.
8. Minimize personnel exposure to radiation. Stop source at "man level" for the least possible
time interval.
9. Lay down downhole tools in reverse order of the make-up procedure used.
CAUTION
Return sources to their pigs and secure them in proper storage as soon as possible.
10. Fill out Coregun Data Sheet and Formation Test Data Sheet.
