Run Liner and prepare for DST
1. Make up BHA for conditioning trip and TIH. Circulate and condition mud until the hole is free of cuttings and gas. Insure Yp is within range or slightly lower. POOH to run 7” production liner.
2. RU casing tools and run 7” 32 ppf Q-125 ANJO liner, running tool, hanger, and liner top packer with two joints between float shoe and float collar; and, one joint between float collar and landing collar. Run bow spring centralizers/turbolizers on bottom three joints; two per joint across all prospective zones; and one every other joint to the 9-5/8” shoe. Total 20 centralizers. Space out for hanger to be 400’ to 500’ above 9-5/8” shoe, or as required for completion objectives.
Note: Run a high-flow bypass tool from the Liner Hanger Company
3. Run liner to bottom on drill pipe washing down last stand. Circulate bottoms up, drop ball and set liner hanger. Release running tool and set back down to confirm hanger is set.
4. MU cementing head, test surface lines and cement liner as follows (cement to have zero free water):
a. Pump 35 bbl Mud Push II Spacer mixed at 17.00 ppg (mixed with fresh water)
b. Tail: 476 sx Premium cement Class “H” + 0.02 gps D047 (Antifoam Agent) + 0.30 gps D-168 (Uniflac-L) + 0.04 gps B158A (Viscous Liquid Suspension) + 0.08 gps D197 (AccuSET Retarder) + 0.02 gps D080 (Cement Liquid Dispersant) + D030 (Silica Cement) equal to 35% BWOB
Slurry Weight: 17.5 ppg
Slurry Yield: 1.24 ft3/sack
Water Ratio: 3.78 gal/sack (fresh water)
(Cement volume calculated to bring TOC to TOL at 12,300’ MD, 300’ lap, with 25% open hole excess. Volume to be adjusted for actual hole condition)
Note: Have samples of mix water and cement tested prior to job to confirm pumping times and catch two samples of slurry.
5. Bump plug with 1000 psi over cementing pressure. Do not over displace by more than half the shoe track volume.
6. PU and set back down to set liner top packer. Reverse out cement and contaminated mud at TOL.
7. Close annular and test liner top packer/casing to 1,220 psi. POOH.
8. Change upper rams to 3-1/2” x 5” flex rams. Test rams to 250 psi low and 10,000 psi high on the 5” and 3-1/2”. Test annular to 250 psi low and 3,500 psi high on the 5” and 3-1/2”.
9. RU e-line and run GR-CCL with junk basket/gauge ring to PBTD. Confirm PBTD depth to be used for TCP space out. Have a casing scraper available should the gauge ring hang up.
Run TCP assembly and perforate
10. MU 4-12” 12 spf TCP/packer assembly in accordance with diagram.
11. RIH on drill pipe with 18 x 5” drill collars. Lightly tag PBTD and pick up to perforating depth. Set packer at 13,585’. Test backside to 1,000psi.
12. RU 3” 10,000psi well test equipment and StricLan test tree.
Note: Have a minimum of 2 x 210 bbls stock tanks and sufficient NPT tanks to transport 2,000 bbls of liquid.
13. RU surface test equipment. Hold a pre-job safety meeting and test surface lines and equipment to 10,000psi. Install Wellhead monitoring systems on well testers manifold. RU e-line and SRO gauges.
14. Displace drill pipe with seawater to within 5 bbls of the bypass. Close bypass and bleed tubing pressure to 3,550 psi (which equates to 1,500psi underbalance). Pressure up on annulus to 1,000 psi.
15. Pressure up on drill pipe to 7,500psi and hold for 2 minutes to initiate TCP firing sequence (Firing delay is 10 minutes). Bleed off test string pressure to 4,250 psi to achieve 800psi underbalance when guns fire.
Flow well
16. After guns fire, open well to flow initially on a 6/64 choke. Continue flowing at 300-to-500 bpd rate until all seawater and drilling mud has been unloaded and flow rate has stabilized at unloading velocity.
17. RIH logging during the later stage of the initial clean up period with SRO pressure & temperature tools, to 13,950 ft MD. DO NOT EXCEED 100 FT PER MINUTE while RIH.
18. Perform pressure/temp flowing profile across perforated interval up and down (13,950’ MD to 13,800’ MD) at 30 ft/min.
19. POOH to Mid Perfs @ 13,847’ MD and flow well for thirty minutes at test rate (or until well has cleaned up as per the Altec Engineer).

21. Shut in the well for initial build-up (+2 to +12) hours. Close the wing valve and the header valve.

23. POOH to Mid Perfs @ 13,847’ MD and open well to flow on a fixed choke based upon initial flow period @ +500 BOPD. Duration of flow will be determined by Altec Engineer.
Estimated stabilized flow time of two days with subsequent shut-in should be adequate. All decisions will be made in real time as to rate and duration based upon data acquired.
24. RIH to 13,950’ MD and repeat step five making flowing pass across the perforated interval.
25. POOH to Mid Perfs @ 13,847’ MD and flow well for one hour at test rate.

Flowing Tubing Pressure Fluid/Gas properties
Note: During final flow period, obtain duplicate samples of gas, condensate and water for laboratory analysis. Monitor and record pressures and produced gas and liquids. Have 5 gallon oil sample containers for cold finger test.
27. Shut in the well for +12 to +48 hours (depending on surface readout data). Close the wing valve and the header valve.
THERE MUST BE NO LEAKS.
