REMINDERTurnaround time is an important issue for most of our customers. However, client has the following safety standards:
The organization and distribution of tasks among the sounders are the guarantors of an efficient and safe operation.
3. Maintenance
A regular maintenance of all our equipment is a guarantee for the good progress of the operations and thus a good image of our company towards our customers. It is everyone's responsibility to take care of the maintenance and the general and functional condition of our equipment.
3.1. Greasing
A lubrication book is available in the office of the Head of Station. This notebook indicates which parts must be greased and the frequency of greasing. This book is also intended to note the date of lubrication performed on the equipment.
3.2. Regular precautions
Observe the current safety color code on all slings and shackles used.
- Make sure that once a week, when the crown block is being greased, the rigger carries out a thorough inspection of the mast and all its components (cables, bolts, pins, safety devices and gangway). This operation will be carried out under cover of a work permit.
- Ensure that the vibrators are cleaned as soon as the re-drilling or milling operations stop. Once clean, the vibrators must be stopped until operations are resumed. At the DTM, the vibrator screens will be dismantled and cleaned, a light veil of diesel fuel will be sprayed on them to avoid any corrosion.
- Ensure daily cleaning of pump suction strainers during drilling or milling operations and weekly during workover operations.
- Before each operation, check the general condition of the operating tools (e.g. drilling key combs, wedge combs, etc.) as well as the compatibility between the threads of the internal obturators and the seal used.
- Inspect, at the end of each well that required re-drilling, milling or pumping of granite- calcium, the opening of the BOP doors and the cleaning of the interior elements. Check the gaskets of the various shutters. This control will ensure a permanent functional state of this safety equipment.
3.3. Drilling Pumps
During long-term pumping operations, "listen" and inspect the drilling pumps regularly. Pay particular attention to abnormal noises (banging and whistling) and ensure that the lubrication of the liners is done properly.
Check the pre-load pressure of the pulsation damper daily.
The minimum pressure reading, with the pump stopped and the bleeder open, must be 700 psi. If this is not the case, notify the Site Manager to rectify this degraded situation which could lead to pump deterioration.
4. Reports, reports and instructions
The IADC drilling report is an important and official document. Only the IADC report will be considered authentic in the event of a dispute. It must be clean, well written, without erasures or overwriting and complete.
· This document must be systematically filled out at the end of each shift.
· Do not forget to fill in the mud and safety meeting sections in the notes.
· Respect the written instructions of the Site Manager and the client. At the slightest doubt, inform his superior.
· Never let a situation deteriorate.
· Keep the DC, DP, HWDP trim book clean and up to date.
· Make a sketch with OD, ID, numbers, lengths and thread types of all tubular material lowered into the well, including that of the customer and service companies. The Assistant Station Manager is responsible for this operation.
· Know and respect the instructions concerning the maximum and minimum pulls and poses in drilling and maneuvering. These instructions will be given by our clients and/or by the client supervisor according to the standards of our company or the client company.
