Drilling Hole 1

1) Run a 12 /4" bit and BHA. Drill out the 17 /2" float collar, cement, casing shoe and wash down to the rat hole TD. If it is planned to drill a long section, install a wellhead bore hole protector into the first casing spool.

  1. Drill 5m (15ft) of new hole, condition the mud and perform a leak off test (Refer to section 11).
  2. Resume drilling with the 12 /4" bit using the proper BHA for a vertical or deviated hole.
  3. Drill the 12 /4" hole down to KOP and, if in a deviated hole phase, change the BHA for the build up. If the well is to be vertical, drill the 121/4" hole to the casing point.
  4. The drilling parameters and hydraulics will be in accordance with the Contractor Directional Operator's instructions (if present) otherwise follow the mud and bits drilling parameters as per the Drilling Programme.
  5. Take a directional survey using a MWD tool and/or single shot.
  1. At the 9 /8" casing point, circulate the shakers clean, make a wiper trip to the 13 /8" casing shoe and then run to bottom reaming any tight spots. Circulate to condition the mud and pull out of the hole.
  2. Run electrical logs as per the Geological Programme.
  3. Run the bit to bottom to control the hole, circulate to condition the mud and pull out of the hole for running the 95/8" casing.
  4. Run and cement in the single or dual stage 95/8" casing (Refer to the Casing Running and Cementing section 12.1.5). Wait on cement.
  5. Hang the 9 /8" casing on the first intermediate casing spool giving it the additional tensile load calculated as per the 'Casing Design Manual' (STAP P1M6110-8.3.4), if required, and cut the 95/8" casing.
  6. Pick up the BOP stack.
  7. Nipple up the intermediate casing spool and test it.
  8. Lay down the BOP stack.
  9. Install the drilling spool and BOP stack and test as per the 'Well Control Policy STAP P1M6150-7) or install a well head protection cap and skid the rig as per skidding sequence, if on cluster wells.
