SURVEY PRIOR TO CONNECTION
by stopping rotation and bringing the pumps down to suitable pump rate required without
shutting down the pumps. (Verify best option with MWD operator)
Bring the pumps back up to drilling pump rate and pump up survey.
Once survey has been obtained, continue with connection procedure.
Advantage:
This will avoid having 2 pump off gas in annulus at the same time.
Start pumps in the best way for the well.
Can take SCR’s on each connection.
Disadvantage:Downhole tools might require different approach
Off bottom for longer time

1. Inform Mud Loggers prior to making a connection.
2. Ream as required.
3. Take torque measurements, stop rotation, and record drag measurements.
4. Shut down the rig pumps, allowing appropriate time for flow back to the active. Ensure the Mud Logger's screen
on the drill floor is displaying the active tank graph, and that backflow trend is fingerprinted. Line the well up on
trip tank, and start trip tank pump, with Mud Logger’s screen displaying same.
5. (When CFM show the well is stable continue with connection)If the well appear to be flowing or you are in doubt- shut the well in.
6. Make up next stand.
7. (Note trip tank volume and compare graph with previous connection graphs. If no anomalies observed, stop trip
tank pump and open to flow line.)
If the well appear to be flowing or you are in doubt- shut the well in.
8. (be aware of PP vs FG and decide on pump or not)
9. Rotate drill string slowly and bring one pump up to 10 spm until returns are observed at the shakers, then
slowly bring this pump up to operating strokes. Bring the remaining pumps up to operating strokes until full flowrate has been reached. Increase rotation to drilling RPM, inform the Mud Logger, and resume drilling as per
procedure. Obtain reading from PWD to establish Low/High result from connection.
CONNECTIONS AND DUMMY CONNECTIONS without driling stand
"Dummy" connection gas is a “pumps-off” event and must still be circulated out of the
well before the next connection is made

1. Inform Mud Loggers prior to making a connection.
2. Ream as required and pump back the drilling stand.
3. Take torque measurements, stop rotation, and record drag measurements.
4. With the full drilling stand above the rotary table, shut down the rig pumps, allowing appropriate time for flow
back to the active. Ensure the Mud Logger's screen on the drill floor is displaying the active tank graph, and
that backflow trend is fingerprinted.
5. Line the well up on trip tank, and start trip tank pump, with Mud Logger’s screen displaying same.
6. Close bottom drilling stand FOSV as a mud saver, close TDS IBOP, break out the drilling stand and rack back
same.7. Make up next stand.
8. Slowly lower the drill string. Avoid surging the formation.
9. Make up drilling stand. Open TDS IBOP valve and open lower drilling stand FOSV.
10.Note trip tank volume and compare graph with previous connection graphs. If no anomalies observed, stop trip
tank pump and open to flow line.
If the well appear to be flowing or you are in doubt- shut the well in.
11. (be aware of PP vs FG and decide on pump or not)
12.Rotate drill string slowly and bring one pump up to “1 bbl/min” until returns are observed at the shakers, then
slowly bring this pump up to operating strokes. Bring the remaining pumps up to operating strokes until full flow
rate has been reached. Increase rotation to drilling RPM, inform the Mud Logger, and resume drilling as per
procedure. Obtain reading from PWD to establish Low/High result from connection.
Suggest a dummy connection once while drilling down stand. (EI part 17, volume 2 )

1. Inform Mud Loggers and MPD operator prior to making a connection.
2. Back ream as required, take torque and drag measurements.
3. Pump back Drilling Stand.
4. Shut down the rig pumps in agreement with MPD operator starting up “back up pressure pump”. Ensure Stand
pipe pressure is zero before closing lower FOSV on drilling stand and breaking out TDS. Back pressure pump
on T/T or Active.
5. Rack back Drilling stand, make up new stand.
6. Run it in hole. Good communication with MPD.
7. M/U Drilling stand, open lower FOSV. Ensure volumes are within acceptable limits for connection.
If volumes are not acceptable or you are in doubt- shut the well in.
8. (be aware of PP vs FG and decide on pump or not)
9. Rotate drill string slowly and bring one pump up to 10 spm in corporation with MPD operator and verify system
integrity, then slowly bring this pump up to operating strokes. Bring the remaining pumps up to operating
strokes until full flow rate has been reached. Increase rotation to drilling RPM, inform the Mud Logger, andresume drilling as per procedure.
Obtain reading from PWD to establish Low/High result from connection. The readings will be under
influence of surface pressure and will have to be corrected to give ESD.
The key is communication and training.

FLUSHING CHOKE AND KILL LINE WITH MPD INSTALLED.
• Purpose is to get fresh mud in the hoses to avoid sagging
• Challenge is to flush the lines, while maintaining additional pressure on the well,
and maintaining volume control.
• It has to be well, rig and equipment specific.
• Pump from above or below maintaining ECD, or after Flowcheck.

Establishing Circulation with risk
of breaking down formationIt only takes one....
The PWD is capable of providing maximum and minimum annular
pressures can be provided after pumps off events.
Review the information available after any trip to see if the surge
pressures created during the trip are acceptable.
If not, adjust the procedure and check for an improvement.
Hydraulics calculations shall be updated every 12 hours or
when mud properties has changed
Realistic modeling of swab/surge/temperature/ECD are necessary
for knowing your well.
1. Start with 25 GPM.
2. Break gel by bringing up string rotation stepwise to agreed rpm3. Slow down string rotation to 30 rpm.
4. Increase pump rate stepwise when return is established. Bring
one pump up to planned pump rate before bringing the second
pump on line.
5. Increase string rotation stepwise until planned rotation.
6. The drill string should not be moved while performing these
steps controlling PWD reading for ECD verification.

PIT DISCIPLINE
Pit discipline is a term used to describe the
system of work whereby no operation that may
affect mud pit levels is commenced,
without the full knowledge of the
Driller,
Mud Engineer,
Derrickman,
Mud Loggers
8/9/2019 13A HPHT Procedure Presentation 20130420
17/21
20 April 2013
1. The Mud Engineer will always produce a written work instruction for the Derrickman, copy to
Driller, TP and Mud Logger.2. When drilling ahead, adding premix/water/base oil, might be allowed whilst drilling ahead with the
DSV and STP’s permissions provided that:
Fingerprint volume prior to the transfer.
The pit from which the transfer is to be made must be added to the active system PVT.
The only change in volume therefore should be as Fingerprinted before the transfer began.
3. If additions are required and the conditions do not meet the previous criteria or for any other reasons,
the Driller must pick off bottom and circulate until a stabilised pit level has been established.
Once obtained the addition can be done.4. If barite has to be added to the system, then an allowance for the corresponding pit volume change has to
be made. Only light dusting of barite is allowed while drilling after permission from the DSV/TP.
Light dusting means maintaining existing mud weight. (know why it is necessary )
5. The Mud Engineer shall be present at the shakers to monitor bottoms up after trips, flow checks etc.
6. Radio communication system to be available at all times by the Driller, Mud Engineer, Derrickman,
Shaker hand and Mud Loggers.
7. Mud Loggers shall maintain an accurate volume balance sheet stating gain/loss and net result throughouteach section drilled. An updated sheet shall be presented at least 2 times daily and after tripping
in/out of hole.
8. Flow Sensors (rig’s own, rental and third party sensor) should be operational at all times.
9. Mud Coolers to be utilized as required in the 12-1/4”, 8-1/2”, 6-1/2”. (Shut down prior to POOH)
10. Never leave transferring into the active unattended.
11. Inform Driller of change in Shaker screen type, as it might change volume.

Well Flow while Tripping
Prepare to kill the well!!!
If a kick occurring when the TDS is not made up to the drill string (e.g. when tripping) the well
shall be shut-in as follows:
1. Set the slips below the top tool joint.
2. Install and close a FOSV.
3. Secure the well by the hard shut in method using annular preventer. Always keep in mind
string weight and wellbore pressure. Consider closing pipe rams to limit upward movement
of the drill string if drill pipe is across BOPs.
4. Open choke line to fully closed choke and monitor annulus pressure.
5. Notify supervisors.6. If pumping is needed:
1. Install kick assembly with 15K hose and make up TDS on top
2. Pressure test hose connection to agreed pressure against closed FOSV’s above and
below hose connection.
3. Open FOSV’s below hose connection.
4. Establish SIDPP- if relevant.
5. Record SICP every 30 seconds.7. Monitor trip tank to detect any annular or ram leaks.
8. Prepare to strip back to bottom if pressures permit.
