When a rig arrived on location the old days picked up pipe one by one with a kelly.30 feet. Top drives came in and rack the pipe back 3 by 30. Then start drilling. Deepwater 25000 feet of pipe. This rig has 14k available to rack back. All we need
If you can find my first posts years ago. I taught the whole board how to do the maths for a well!!! It was a free education. Some did get it. I am talking a long time ago. This was written today off the top of me head from about 18 years ago, This is why the people like me made enough money. Everything was fast and adlib. That is my programme. What I would do. I have met Jay and Jason at Agms. Jay even phoned me in Turkey at my request. That was Texas. I offered to work.
The pipe deck is on the ground horizontally. The derrick is vertical. The pipe can be stored either way. The rig gets there and picks up say in this case about 13000 feet of pipe. This rig holds 14000. That is hard work at 30 feet per pipe. Mousehole connections. So now Ready to pull tubing? Bullhead the formation as it is still live. Probably already done. Set 1 plug deep on wireline. Test it. Set a tubing hanger plug . The well is now safe enough to remove the xmas tree. Put on the Bop and riser. Test BOP. Pull both plugs. Unseat the tubing hanger and packer. Pull tubing , lay down as derrick is full. Also inspect tubing Threads laid down. Need spare tubing available. New packer and tubing hanger.
RIH and clean the well to the end. POOH. Rerun packer and tubing hanger and set the both. Put the plugs back in the tubing test and remove BOP. Install test tree. Remove plugs. Induce the well with CTU and nitrogen to lower the hydrostatic. Just written the programme.
And I thought after a long time away I had forgotten it. Straight off the top of my head with a few beers and some red wine>>> Not aimed at you 3 stands.
The inside pipe deck should be big enough for a tubing string and a drill string. It is a workover rig and needs room for it all in normal operations. Here we go. Pick up drill pipe and rack back. Pull tubing and rack back or lay down. Clear the blockage. with drill pipe. Rack back. Run tubing. Set packer. Bring the well back on flow test. With rig still there. Everything on site in case rinse and repeat.
