13-3/8 BBL DrillShoe

DS133170HDZ
Recommended Running Procedure
07March02 General Information and Recommendations The central portion of the nose of the tool is constructed from aluminium alloy, which is fully drillable with any type of oilfield drill bit. This is set with a combination of small Thermally Stable Diamond cutting elements and high density, HVOF tungsten carbide on the front of the blades. The outer flanks have PDC cutters. This tool is very aggressive and will drill quickly with low WOB. Aggressive Drilling Tools can generate high torque for low weight. It is recommended that WOB be kept to a minimum until the torque response of the DrillShoe is known.

13-3/8 x 17 DrillShoe with Wavy Profile.

On no account should the tool be set on bottom unless full pump rate and rotation have been achieved.

Preparation Prior to Running Unpack the tool and make the following checks: Check and record the serial number, tool size and type Confirm no damage to aluminium nose or cutting structure Check that the ports / nozzles are clear Remove thread protector and check for damage Confirm that there is no debris inside the tool Making-Up to the Casing Drilling String Stand the DrillShoe box-up on a rubber mat or wooden board Clean and dry connections to be made up Baker lock and make up to normal casing torque recommended to eliminate any chance of the drill shoe backing off when drilled out at the end of the run Pick-up and test pumps and check that jet nozzles flow correctly Run as per normal procedure

Passing through float collar and shoe if applicable. Drill out the float collar and shoe with either PDC or rock bit and drill rat hole for one two stands to eliminate any junk. Run casing conventionally until the drill shoe reaches float collar, tag the float collar lightly if the drill shoe does not pass through rotate the casing string with tongs until the drill shoe centralizes and the weight drops off, The same procedure is used on the float shoe.

Initiating the Drilling Process in Open Hole Run the casing and drill shoe conventionally until you reach 10-30 feet above the mud line Install water head bushing (cross over sub) Pick up one stand of drill pipe and make connection to waterhead 31 x 3 = 93 plus water head bushing 3 = 96 feet bushing (cross over sub) and top drive, (or connect directly from the casing to the water head bushing to the top drive) Start pumps to 850-1200 GPM and note the pressure before the drill shoe reaches bottom. Pump at high flow rate Bring rotary speed up to 30-40 RPM and begin rotating slowly until you reach the mud line Zero the weight indicator, record pump pressure and torque Run down slowly to tag bottom, carefully monitoring WOB, torque and pressure Tag bottom lightly and start to drill as normal with low weight 1 - 2k and RPM 30 - 40 for the first 20 30 feet until a bottom hole pattern is established It is recommended that the first few metres or one joint be drilled down with minimum weight to bed in the DrillShoe. Drill down one stand of drill pipe, (or one joint of casing if connected to the top drive directly without the drill pipe) Circulate to remove cuttings Pull back casing and set slips. Break out water head bushing Rack back stand of drill pipe (If using drill pipe) Make up one - two joints of casing = 46-92 and run into hole the rat hole needs to be a minimum of 4 feet to allow for cuttings, the more rate hole available the less chance of blocking the jets. If connected direct to top drive one joint at a time Install water head bushing (cross over sub) Pick up one stand of drill pipe and make connection to top drive and water head bushing. (Ignore if connected direct to top drive) Start pumps and rotation Zero the weight indicator, record pump pressure and torque Run down slowly to tag bottom, monitoring WOB, torque and pressure Tag bottom lightly and start to drill as normal using the parameters below, experiment with the parameters to obtain the best ROP at the lowest RPM Repeat process The process is very flexible from one joint at a time connected directly to the water head bushing to casing and top drive to two joint using drill pipe, If using casing spear please refer to the attached copy

On no account should the tool be set on bottom unless full pump rate and rotation have been achieved. Drilling Ahead Always kick in the pumps and rotate before going to bottom Reset weight indicator to zero. Increase weight gradually to achieve desired ROP Use low weight on Drill shoe 2-5K Remember that excessive WOB will reduce tool life Monitor pump pressure carefully, an increase may indicate bit balling. Pick up off bottom, rotate at max rpm, and stop and start the pumps several times to try to wash the DrillShoe clean of cuttings, pump high viscosity pill 10 barrels to clean cutting structure Drill down the first joint of casing as per normal drilling to leave a small rat hole when the slips are set, (this is to have some space for cuttings to settle without blocking the jets)

Making connections Note stand pipe pressure between drilling and off bottom and circulate for 1 minute to remove cuttings (the occasional high viscosity sweep can be pumped to clean the cutting structure and remove cuttings) Casing is made up to the normal torque for the connection type. The water head bushing can be made up at a lower torque Weatherford recommend the casing spear for faster connections. The water head bushing is only a cross over to the top drive and is changed on each connection, It is beneficial to have Two water head bushings, one drilling and one made up with chain tongs in the V door ready for the next connection (if required). If the procedure allows two joints of casing can be drilled down each time. Make up new joint of casing and repeat the drilling procedure start pumps first and tag bottom slowly, drill ahead as normal. After the first joint is drilled start to increase the drilling parameters as per the attached page. Repeat the process on each connection.

Weatherford Casing Drilling Spear Assembly Operational Procedures for 13 3/8 Drillshoe
1. Run in hole with Shoe Joint and casing as per casing running procedures one joint before drill out point. 2. Pick up Casing Drilling Spear Assembly with pick up line. Lower Casing Drilling Spear assembly into casing joint in the rotary table. Stop Ring on spear will land out on the casing collar. 3. Make up Casing Drilling Spear Assembly to the Top Drive System. Use normal makeup torque for this connection. 4. After make-up of Top Drive, slack off to ensure stop ring is landed out on top of casing collar. Turn the Casing Drilling Spear Assembly +- turn to the left (until the stop ring begins to turn) to set spear in release position. 5. Pull Casing Drilling Spear Assembly out of casing; long slings or long bails and single joint elevator should be installed at this time. Latch single joint elevators on single joint of casing in V door or mousehole. Casing Drilling Spear should be spaced so that there is approximately 3 feet of clearance from bottom of stabilizer bullnose and top of casing collar. 6. Pick up joint of casing from V door or mousehole using single joint elevators while pulling Casing Drilling Spear out of casing. Stab casing and make up with casing tongs as per casing running procedures. 7. Lower down on Casing Drilling Spear Assembly until Stop Ring lands out on top of casing collar, have the derrickman to assist guiding spear assembly into casing.

8. Turn the Casing Drilling Spear Assembly +- turn to the right (until the stop ring begins to turn) to set spear in set position. 9. Pick up on Casing Drilling Spear Assembly and pull the casing slips. 10. Break circulation and start rotating pipe. Increase GPMs and RPMs as per Casing DrillShoe manufactures recommendations.

11. Start drilling down casing. Special caution should be taken for the first 2 or 3 joints of casing. Casing joints should be back reamed as hole conditions dictate. 12. The first 1-2 joints should be drilled with low RPM 30-40 and low weight 2-4 K 13. After drilling in the first 1-2 joints WOB should be increased to 5-10K and RPM increased to 50-80 RPM 14. The optimal parameters will probably be 50 RPM and constant WOB of 5K. 15. The design of the drillshoe does not lend itself to High RPM and WOB, this will only cause premature wear and slow ROP. 16. Caution: Elevators should be unlatched and pulled free of rotating casing while drilling casing down. 17. Once a joint of casing has been drilled down. Set slips, slack off to ensure stop ring is landed out on top of casing collar. Turn the Casing Drilling Spear Assembly +- turn to the left (until the stop ring begins to turn) to set spear in release position. 18. While releasing spear, elevators should be latched on to next joint of casing. 19. Repeat steps 6 13 until casing is drilled to setting depth. 20. Once casing has been drilled to setting depth circulate bottoms up. 21. Stop circulation and rotation, set casing slips. 22. Release Casing Drilling Spear from casing, break out Casing Drilling Spear connection from Top drive and lay down Casing Drilling Spear assembly. 23. Pick up Casing bushing and make up to casing and commence cementing operations.

Important Note Dependent on the type of float being used the casing can hold a large volume of air that can be circulated after each connection, when this is pumped through the system it may appear to be gas circulating up around the outside of the casing each time it comes to the surface. The preferred option is a float collar that allows the casing to be completely filled after each connection; this will alleviate the air bubble that inhibits cooling and cutting removal and the possibility of unloading the backside of the casing. The limiting factor of drilling with casing is the drilling torque should never exceed the make up torque of the casing. To obtain the best performance try and maintain a torque figure of 5K while drilling, however in most cases the normal parameters listed below should be tried first.
