The ability to monitor and circulate the well must be retained until the seal flange and lower master valve is installed and pressure tested
-
Mud logging unit must remain to continue monitoring of trip and mud tanks.
- Mud tanks and mud pumps are to be operational until rig release.
A rig site meeting will be held with all relevant personnel. The following points will be addressed:
-
During rig move operations presence of non-essential personnel should be restricted.
- Check road condition if this needs to be re-surfaced prior to rig moving.
- Produce a detailed load out plan for rig camp to reduce lost time.
- Check if the crew is provided with communication equipment to facilitate the channel of communication between all parties during rig move operations.
- Ensure to have an electrician working at night so work can continue.
- Ensure that 2 forklifts are available on the old location and 1 to be used on the new location in case of shortage of cranes.
- When rigging down the rails for the BOP cranes the men were working at heights and finding it very difficult. Use man lifter for this operation.
- Two truck pushers are required to co-ordinate movements. One for the old location and one on the new location.
- The mast will be inspected after laying down to avoid unnecessary delays if repairs are required.
- Have a steam truck on old location to clean the wellhead prior to handover
- Install the diverter prior to installing and raising the front porch. This will enable use of the crane to put it in place which is a safer and easier method and this also allows head start for rigging up the diverter lines.
- The mast shall be raised first and then connect the cables to monkey board camera.
- When rigging up and pressure testing the suit case make sure that suit cases should connect each section segment by segment and hammer up the connections before we connect the next suit case.
- If the rig has to be moved during the defrosting period (March-April), gravels or slabs must be used for the road.
- Discuss movement of all wide loads with field security prior to the rig move so they do not have to be broken down.
- To pass through security checkpoint - all vehicles are to display a sign in window stating Saipar Rig Move which will allow them to pass without undue delay.
- Establish shift system 7 to 7 for both day and night coverage. This set up allows crews working at night to continue with the preparation work for the movement of equipment (note: no working at height or major disassembly of rig structure).
- During the first week of the pre/rig move 8 extra crew members should work on days. During the rigging up phase an extra 3 crew should work days.
- Check if enough racks are available to place accommodation trailers on to avoid positioning them on the slabs (KPO-283).
- The night shift work includes the positioning of equipment, using forklifts to line equipment up so that when the day shift started the loads are in position for the trucks to latch up and start moving.
- During the operation to raise the mast no site access should be allowed and other on site non-related activity on site should be stopped.
- Have two heavy lift cranes, one working at the old site the other at the new location to prevent the crane travelling between the two.
- Ensure that the proposed transport plan is agreed upon and in place at least 5 days prior to the end of the well. This will enables us to prepare more equipment for pre moving and help reduce the overall rig move time.
- When we rig up equipment install the diverter prior to installing and raising the front porch. This enabled us to use the crane to put it in place making it a safer and easier method and also enables us to get a head start for rigging up the diverter lines.
