3 Marking and Packing

3.1 Marking of Pipe

3.1.1 Tubular goods shall be marked to designate customer-required data on each piece of product.

Products shall be marked either by a combination of stenciling and stamping or by stencilling. Product
data shall be given in SI units or USC units.

16
Marking information applied by stamping or hot rolling and stenciling shall be in accordance with the
requirements of product standards/specifications.

Corrosion-resistant pipe shall be only marked by stenciling; no stamping shall be applied.

Examples of pipe and coupling marking in accordance with GOST 632 and API Spec 5CT are given in
Figs 1 – 4.

Fig. 1 shows an example of marking casing and couplings to GOST 632.

Figs 2, 3, 4 show examples of marking casing and couplings to API Spec 5CT.

Pipe made to TU specifications shall be marked in accordance with applicable TU requirements.

3.2 Packing of Pipe

3.2.1 Threads, sealing shoulders and sealing bevels of pipe and couplings shall be protected from
transportation and/or storage damage by special protectors made of metal, polymer or combined material
(metal + polymer). For the requirements applicable to protectors refer to pipe standards/specifications.

3.2.2 Rings shall cover the pipe joint over the length of at least L – 3 threads. Nipples shall cover the
socket joint over the length of at least ⅔ L.

Rings and nipples shall protrude from the pipe and coupling end faces by at least 10 mm.

23
3.2.3 The design and material of protectors shall ensure unscrewing thereof, prevent the dust and moisture
from ingress in the thread during transportation and handling. The material shall be free from components
contributing to corrosion or to the engagement of protectors with a thread.

3.2.4 When screwing-on protective elements, thread connection shoulders and sealing bevels shall be
coated with rust-preventive compound. At customer's request, when specified in the purchase order,
thread-sealing compound may be used instead of rust-preventive compound.

For the requirements applicable to protectors during packing refer to 3.2.1.

3.2.5 Only pipe of the same pipe lot shall be shipped in a single carload.

Pipe of different pipe lots may be shipped in a single carload, provided the pipe of different lots are
segregated, if a pipe lot or a remainder thereof is not consistent with the car capacity.

3.2.5 Pipe shall be delivered in bundles, securely bundled in at least two points.

3.2.6 One bundle shall only contain pipe of the same pipe lot.

3.2.7 Bundling material shall not be used as slinging fixture. The packing shall allow for multiple
transfers of bundles with pipe undamaged.

3.2.8 The following pipe packing patterns are used in TMK Company: "extra", "economic", "ordinary"
and "simplified". The required pipe packing pattern shall be specified in the purchase order.

3.2.8.1 The above named four packing patterns provide for uniform weight of bundles for all patterns and,
accordingly, the same quantity of similar in diameter and wall thickness lengths of pipe per bundle.

To fill the purchase order according to the volume (tonnage, footage) specified by the customer, one to
two bundles of the ordered pipe lot, which contain less weight or less lengths of pipe than specified by
packing patterns, may be formed.

3.2.8.2 For the "extra" packing pattern, casing shall be bundled so that any contact between pipe bodies,
couplings, tool joint elements, upsets be positively precluded. This is achieved by laying pipe on supports.
At customer's request, supports are made as external or internal, wooden or metal/polymeric. A support
provides a cradle for each length of pipe. Supports filled with pipe shall be bundled with steel band or by
stud bracing.

For the requirements applicable to protectors refer to 3.2.1.

Each bundle shall have three tags secured thereto: one tag at the aligned end of the bundle, and another
two tags, at the sides of the bundle.

The tag shall contain the following information:

Trade mark and manufacturer

3.2.8.3 For the "economic" packing pattern, casing shall be bundled on external or internal wooden
supports.

Threads and pipe ends shall be protected in accordance with 3.2.1.

Each bundle shall have two tags secured thereto: one tag at the aligned end of the bundle, and another tag
at the left (of the aligned end) side of the bundle.

3.2.8.4 For the "ordinary" packing pattern, tubing shall be bundled on external or internal wooden
supports.

Threads and pipe ends shall be protected in accordance with 3.2.1.

3.2.8.5 For the "simplified" packing pattern, casing shall be packaged in accordance with GOST 10692
requirements and shipped according to the loading patterns accepted at the manufacturer's facility.

The protection of pipe ends and threaded elements shall be in accordance with the requirements of
standards/specifications applicable to the manufacture of pipe under shipment.

The protectors shall be fitted on pipe ends, taking into account the geographical area of the destination,
e.g., protectors made of cold-resistant plastic where pipe are delivered to areas with low average yearly
temperature.

3.2.9 For all types of packing, when forming a bundle of casing, the couplings shall face the same
direction.

3.2.10 For the "extra", "economic" and "ordinary" packing patterns, all pipe ends facing one direction
shall be coplanar. Misalignment of the opposite pipe ends in the bundle shall not exceed 0.5 m.

3.2.11 Casing shall be packed in bundles using external or internal supports and loaded in a car in
accordance with Table 4.

4 Good Practice for Pipe Operation – Requirements and Recommendations

4.1 Pipe Pre-operation Requirements

4.1.1 The scope and type of testing for casing delivered by manufacturers shall be determined by the
customer in accordance with the geological and technical conditions for drilling.

4.1.2 Casing run-in-hole pre-operation activities shall be carried out at pipe yards (pipe control shops) or
on dedicated sites.

4.1.3 The complete scope of casing testing shall include:

– check for availability of the accompanying documents (certificate);

– verification of data contained in certificate for conformity to the marking;
– visual inspection;
– instrument check;
– nondestructive testing;
– drift test;
– hydrostatic test.

26
4.1.4 In the absence of a certificate of conformity to the requirements of product standards/specifications,
the acceptance, pre-operation and use of casing for string assembly is prohibited.

4.1.5 Instrumentation used for pipe quality control shall be certified and verified in accordance with
specified procedures.

4.1.6 Each length of casing should be drift-tested along the entire length immediately prior to running.
The testing shall be made using drift mandrels conforming to the requirements of GOST 632, GOST R
53366, TU specifications for pipe made to the said GOSTs, and to the requirements of ISO 11960 and
API Spec 5CT. During testing make sure that threads, packing and shoulder surfaces of couplings and
pipe are properly protected from any damage. Casing that failed to pass the drift test shall be put aside.

4.1.7 For pipe that were repaired at central pipe yards, the yard shall issue an individual certificate
indicating the field of application and hole lining limitations.

4.1.8 All casing, both new and reconditioned, shall be always handled with thread protectors in place.
Casing shall be placed on supports or on wooden/metal pads freed from stones, sand or mud, other than
drill mud.

4.1.9 The customer is free to decrease the number of controlled variables, taking into account the
established inspection at manufacturers' facilities and the guarantees of pipe conformity to the
requirements of standards and specifications (TU).

However, during transportation and delivery of pipe to the customer, some variables may be brought out
of tolerance; therefore, the following shall be retained as required testing:

– visual inspection;
– hydrostatic test;
– drift test;
– failing protectors (lost in transit), gauging.

If, during the hydrostatic test, a pipe thread connection proves leaky, the coupling torquing is allowed.
The pipe that has endured the hydrostatic retest shall be considered fit for service.

4.1.10 Immediately prior to running casing remove the protectors from the pipe field end and mill end,
thoroughly clean and examine the thread. If even minor thread damages beyond repair are detected, the
affected length of pipe shall be put aside.

4.1.11 Rejected pipe shall be stored on the rejected pipe rest racks.

Prior to running in hole, the length of each casing length shall be measured with a steel measuring tape
calibrated in millimeters with the least graduation of 3.0 mm.

The length shall be measured from the unengaged coupling face to the power-tight position of coupling
face along the pin end of pipe. For round thread connections, OTTM and ОТТГ connections, such a
position shall be the last hairline of the thread; for buttress connection the said position shall be the base
of the make-up triangle.

27
4.2 Casing String Forming

4.2.1 The selection of casing and casing string mechanical design shall be made taking into account the
maximum anticipated external and internal pressure on complete displacement of drill mud with
formation fluid or liquid-gas mixture, recession of fluid level in the course of well development or
artificial lifting, the loads occurring as a result of 3D deflection profile, as well as axial loads applied to
the pipe and corrosive properties of fluid at the construction and operation phases.

4.2.2 For the casing string design, standards/specifications approved by Rostekhnadzor shall be used.

4.2.3 A string running procedure shall be developed; such procedure shall provide for properly
proportioned stressing of pipe upon cement setting. This is necessary to avoid the occurrence of critical
stresses or excessive and/or dangerous tensile stresses during the well operation.

4.2.4 Casing exposed to hydrogen sulfide shall be selected in accordance with the manufacturing process
variables and corrosion environment properties.

4.2.5 The conformity of casing to applicable specifications and SSC (sulfide stress cracking) resistance of
pipe shall be confirmed by a certificate.

4.2.6 For the mechanical design of casing operating in H2S-bearing environment, a pressure containment
derating factor (KS) [38] shall be introduced to address this condition.

4.2.7 Thread connections shall be selected in accordance with [39] and Table 5.

4.2.8 Casing string sections shall be formed of commissioned pipe in accordance with the string design.

4.2.9 The pipe length sequence number shall be applied with permanent light paint on the outside
diameter close to the field end.

4.2.10 The numbering sequence shall be in accordance with the sequence of running pipe in the hole.

Notes:
1) For pipe ≤ 168 mm in diameter at hole deviation rate up to 5°/10 m and for pipe > 168 mm in
diameter at hole deviation rate up to 3°/10 m, the mechanical design shall be made as for pipe in
vertical hole, without regard to any deflection.
2) For pipe > 168 mm in diameter at hole deviation rate 3° to 5°/10 m, the permissible tensile load shall
be reduced by 10%, with the exception of TMK GF and TMK PF thread connections.
3) At hole deviation rate of 5°/10 m, use of TMK GF and TMK PF thread connections is recommended.

4.3 Running Casing

4.3.1 Personnel involved in the assembly of casing strings shall be trained and qualified for the operations
in question.

4.3.2 When running a combined casing string make sure that the racks accommodating the casing
intended for use according to the assembly program are freely accessible.

4.3.3 Make sure that each length of casing be run in strict compliance with the sequence defined at the
design phase. Should any length of pipe appear unidentifiable, put it aside until the pipe weight and
connection type and size are ascertained.

4.3.4 Prior to makeup of subs and connectors make sure that the mating threaded parts are of the same
type and size.

29
4.3.5 Pipe shall be unloaded with mill ends facing the wellhead. Pipe shall be stacked on racks in
accordance with the running sequence. Standby lengths of pipe shall be stacked separately, so as to
provide free access thereto.

4.3.6 Place thread protectors on the field end of the pipe so that the thread will not be damaged while
rolling pipe on the rack and pulling into the derrick. Several thread protectors may be cleaned and used
repeatedly for this operation. Exercise due care when laying pipe on and rolling pipe to the walkway; use
a cable damper, if required. Transfer of pipe to the walkway shall be made impact-free, preventing the
pipe from hitting against any part of the derrick or other equipment. When pulling pipe into the derrick,
prevent the pipe from any deflection. Exercise special care when operating high-grade casing (grade E
and higher) and casing having thread connections packing with PTFE rings and metal-to-metal packing.

4.3.7 If a combined string or a string containing unmarked lengths of pipe is to be run, drift each length of
pipe with a mandrel to avoid running pipe having excessive weight or insufficient inside diameter.

4.3.8 Exercise due care when pulling casing strings into the derrick and lowering; when bracing the slips
observe safety precautions to avoid the application of impact loads. Should the string drop down, even a
short distance, the lower-end coupling may break out. Make proper arrangements to avoid the setting-
down of casing at the lower end or the compression of casing due to other causes, as these may cause pipe
to buckle, particularly within the part of the well where the hole enlargement has occurred.

4.3.9 After pulling pipe into the derrick and immediately before stabbing, screw protectors off the field
end; thereafter, the protectors shall be submitted to UPTO and KO, CBPO or CTB for further delivery to
manufacturers.

4.3.10 If the protective ring is dirty, check the condition of field end thread. If the thread is dirty or
corroded it shall be reconditioned followed by the application of thread-sealing compound.

4.3.11 The selection of thread connections and thread-sealing compound by leak resistance criteria should
be made in accordance with Table 6, while the application of compound should be made in accordance
with 4.5.5.

4.3.12 Pipe shall be stabbed in the upright position using, whenever possible, a centralizer. A pin should
be stabbed with due care, avoiding any hitting of threaded ends.

4.3.13 Make sure that immediately prior to stabbing the pin no dirt finds its way to the thread, and no
thread skew occurs due to pin-to-box misalignment.

4.3.14 To prevent the thread from skew, pipe should be centralized from a dedicated site located at the
level of upper pipe end, or from the derrickman's movable platform.

4.3.15 If, after stabbing, the length of pipe is skewed, slightly lift it, pull aside, clean the thread surface
from thread compound (sealing compound) or packing material and grind minor imperfections of thread
with a smooth-cut file. After the thread is thoroughly cleaned apply thread compound (sealing compound)
or packing material. After stabbing rotate the pipe, at first very slowly, to make sure that threads are
properly engaged without cross-threading. Casing with threads showing clearly pronounced evidence of
damage (distortion) shall be rejected.

4.3.16 A thread connection should be made up at first hand-tight (turned home), then with circular tongs.
Rotate the pipe slowly (10 rpm, max) to make sure that threads are properly engaged without cross-
threading.

30
4.3.17 If casing has a tendency to wobble unduly at its upper end when making up, indicating that the
thread may not be in line with the axis of the casing, the speed of rotation should be decreased to prevent
galling of threads.

If wobbling should persist despite reduced rotational speed, the casing should be
laid down for inspection. Do not use such casing in a string to be exposed to heavy tensile loads.

4.3.18 After pre-makeup, the thread connections shall be torqued with pipe spanners AKO or AKB (for
pipe up to 299 mm in diameter) or with power tongs equipped with a torque gauge. To prevent pipe from
crushing make sure that tong dies protrude from the slots by the die cutting height (2 to 3 mm),
maximum.

During makeup of casing at the drill site the coupling may slightly rotate in the mill-made connection.
This does not indicate insufficient mill screwing of the coupling, but rather confirms that torquing effort
reaches the same value as during makeup of the connection at the mill.

4.3.19 Recommended torque values are given in Annex A.3 and Annex A.7 for API Spec 5B thread
connections in accordance with ISO 10405 recommendations. Estimated torque values for GOST 632
thread connections are given for nominal standoff at friction coefficient of 0.06.

These values shall be only considered a guide, due to the very wide variations in torque requirements that
can exist for a specific connection. Because of this, it is essential that these torque values be related to the
average obtained in the course of pipe assembly by linear dimensions.

The torque values listed in Table 1 apply to casing with zinc-plated or phosphate-coated couplings. The
listed torque values are not applicable for making up couplings with PTFE rings. When making
up round thread connections with PTFE rings, 70 percent of the listed values are recommended. Buttress
connections with PTFE seal rings may make up at torque values different from those normally observed
on OTTM, ОТТГ and buttress threads.

4.3.20 To adjust the thread connection makeup torque, it is advisable when starting to run casing from
each particular mill shipment to make up sufficient joints to determine the torque necessary to provide
optimum makeup, with the power makeup turns (following the hand-tight makeup) recorded.

For power makeup of round thread connections, make approximately three more turns beyond the hand-
tight position for pipe 114.3 – 178.8 mm in diameter, and approximately three and a half more turns
beyond the hand-tight position for pipe ≥ 193.7 mm in diameter, with the exception of 244.5 mm and
273.1 mm diameters for pipe grade P 110 which have to be made up 4 more threads beyond the hand-
tight position.

For pipe with OTTM threads, make at least three and a half more turns beyond the hand-tight position.

These values may indicate that a departure from the values listed in Annex A.3 and Annex A.7 is
advisable.

For buttress thread casing connections, makeup torque values should be determined by carefully noting
the torque required to make up each of several connections to the base of the triangle.

Then using the torque value thus established, make up the balance of the pipe of that particular weight
and grade in the string.

31
However, for both recommended and adjusted torque values, the minimum torque should be not less than
75 % of the value selected. The maximum torque should be not more than 125 % of the selected torque.

4.3.21 To prevent galling when making up connections in the field, the connections should be
made up at a speed not to exceed 25 rpm.

4.3.22 During the makeup, observe both the torque gauge indications and the approximate position of the
coupling face with respect to the thread vanish point position for casing with round thread and OTTM
thread, and to the base of triangle for casing with buttress thread.

4.3.23 If the torquing proceeds smoothly (no jerking) with gradual increase in torque gauge reading, and
the coupling does not get hot (not in excess of 80°C), the makeup process shall be stopped at such torque
values as recommended in Annex A.3, Annex A.7 and ISO 10405 or as adjusted in the course of makeups
according to 4.3.20.

4.3.24 In the event of jumpwise increase in or stabilization of torque during makeup, and/or in the event
of coupling heat buildup in excess of 80°C, the connection shall be broken out, following which a
decision shall be made on resolving the causes of disturbance in the makeup process, or on rejection of
pipe.

4.3.25 For casing with round thread connection, the coupling end face after the makeup shall be level
with the pipe end thread vanish point or shall be short of the thread vanish point by plus/minus two
threads (± 6.4 mm).

If, during makeup, the coupling end face is over-turned two threads beyond the thread vanish point and
the torque has not reached 75% of the selected value, the connection should be broken out and laid down
until re-inspection or repair.

If, during makeup, several threads remain exposed after the torque reaches the selected value, additional
torque up to 125% should be applied. If the distance between the coupling end face and the last scratch
exceeds two threads with the additional torque attained, this connection should also be considered
questionable; it should be broken out and put aside for re-inspection or repair.

4.3.26 For casing with OTTM thread connection, the coupling end face after the makeup shall be level
with the pipe end thread vanish point or shall be short of the thread vanish point by 5 mm, maximum.

If, during makeup, the coupling end face has reached the thread vanish point, while the torque has not
reached 75% of the average torque value, the connection should be broken out and laid down until re-
inspection or repair.

If, during makeup, the coupling end face is under-turned short of the thread vanish point by more than 5
mm, while the torque equals 125% of the average torque value, the connection should be broken out and
put aside for re-inspection or repair.

4.3.27 After power makeup of ОТТГ casing with couplings, the pipe end shall mate the shoulder inside
the coupling. The evidence of complete mating of packing surfaces is shown by substantial (steep) growth
of makeup torque read by the torque gauge; the makeup shall proceed without jerking, with the makeup
torque gradually increasing.

4.3.27.1 To select the makeup torque for casing with ОТТГ thread connection, caliper the distance
between the internal shoulder and outer face of the coupling. Then, machine a tool mark on the mating
end of pipe, at a distance as measured between the shoulder and outer face of the coupling. After the

32
power makeup, the coupling end face shall match the tool mark machined on the pipe field end. During
power makeup, when the pipe end reaches the coupling shoulder, the torque steeply increases. Thus
recorded torque will present the optimum value for the actual assembly conditions (compound type, pipe
sizes, etc.). Further makeup shall be done according to the mean torque value obtained as a result of
making up 10 successive lengths of pipe. The rate of power makeup for ОТТГ thread connections shall
not exceed 10 rpm.

4.3.28 For buttress thread casing connections the coupling end face shall be placed at the base of the
triangle (optimum torque) or may be one turn of coupling (5.1 mm) lower (minimum torque), or may
reach the apex of the triangle (maximum torque) (see Fig. 5).

4.3.29 The position of the triangle for makeup buttress thread pipe and coupling at optimum torque is

4.3.30 Joints that are questionable as to their proper makeup should be unscrewed and laid down to
determine the cause of improper makeup. Both the pipe thread and the mating coupling thread should be
inspected. Damaged threads or threads that do not comply with the specification should be repaired. If
damaged or out-of-tolerance threads are not found to be the cause of improper makeup, then the makeup
torque should be adjusted to obtain proper makeup.

4.3.31 Prior to application of compounds the thread surfaces of pipe and couplings shall be cleaned from
dirt and residues of other compounds. Cleaning of threads with kerosene oil and/or diesel fuel is
disallowed.

The range and applications of thread compounds are given in Table 6.

4.3.32 Pre-lowering and lowering of casing with thread connections made to specifications (TU) shall be
in accordance with the requirements of relevant specifications and OAO TMK Thread Connections
Catalog.

4.4 Running Casing Equipment Requirements

4.4.1 For running casing, the bearing surface of the elevator shall be flat and the internal diameter shall be
drifted to ensure that casing fits the elevator properly.

4.4.2 For long casing strings, use of slip-type elevators is recommended. Casing spider and elevator slips
shall be clean, sharp and shall fit together well. The slips shall be long enough for heavy strings of casing.
The spider shall be properly gauged.

4.4.3 For conventional elevator, the bearing surface shall be thoroughly checked for uneven wear which
result in deviated lifting of coupling.

4.4.4 Watch carefully that no compound makes its way to working (notch ragged) surfaces of slips
contacting the tubing.

Immediately remove the compound in case of any ingress.

4.4.5 The operation of elevator spider with worn, distorted or damaged parts shall be prohibited.

4.4.6 Dimensions of dies and slips shall be consistent with the diameter of pipe to be run.

4.4.7 To obtain the required makeup torque, use pipe tongs equipped with a torque gauge. The tongs size
shall be consistent with the pipe size. The tongs shall be properly set against a pipe and the dies shall be
perfectly fit to prevent the pipe from crushing and to minimize grooves and dents on the metal surface.

4.4.8 Hydraulic tongs shall be positioned at such distance from the pipe fixing point as to positively
prevent the pipe from bending. If required, holding tongs shall be secured under the coupling.

4.5 Thread Compound Selecting Recommendations

4.5.1 For making up connections use compounds listed in standards/specifications, as the compound
greatly affects the leak resistance of threads. Thread compounds shall take up high specific pressures,
resist high temperatures, seal voids between the mating threads, be easy in application, remain on
threaded surfaces for a long time, etc.
4.5.2 The requirements applicable to service performance of thread compounds for casing include the
following:
– compatible frictional properties allowing for correct and even makeup;
– adequate lubricating properties allowing to facilitate makeup and breakout of a joint without galling
or damaging the mating surfaces of the joint;
– adequate sealing properties for thread connections that will not impair the properties of non-thread
connections, i.e., "metal-to-metal" connections, according to service requirements;
– physical and chemical stability, both in service and in storage;
– properties allowing for effective use of the compound on joint mating surfaces under anticipated
service conditions and in the anticipated environment.
4.5.3 When evaluating the suitability of thread compound, the customer shall define the conditions, in
which the compound will be used and, in addition to the laboratory test data according to compound
specifications, shall take into account field test results and field service experience.
4.5.4 Recommended compounds and their respective fields of application are given in Table 6.

exceeded:

– external pressure;
– pressure containment;
– axial tensile load;
for pipe body:
– without bending
– with bending
(Annexes A1, A2 for pipe made to GOST 632 and ISO 10400 recommendations for pipe made to
API Spec 5CT);
for GOST 632 thread connections:
with round threads:
– without bending
– with bending;
with trapezoidal threads (OTTM, ОТТГ):
– without bending
– with bending;
for makeup torque values (according to Annexes A.3 – A.7).
For thread connections according to specifications (TU):
In accordance with TU requirements and TMK Catalog of API Spec 5B Thread Connections:
with round threads:
– without bending
– with bending;
for makeup torque values (ISO 10405 recommendations);
with buttress threads:
– without bending
– with bending;
(ISO 10400 recommendations).

4.6.2 The following variables shall be monitored during operation:

– environmental pressure (internal, external);
– ambient temperature;
– environment specific gravity;
– environment corrosive agents.

36
4.7 Care of Casing in Hole

Drill pipe run inside a casing string should be equipped with suitable drill-pipe protectors.

4.8 Recovery of Casing

4.8.1 Breakout tongs should be positioned close to the coupling but not too close since a slight squashing
effect where the tong dies contact the pipe surface cannot be avoided. Keeping a space of ⅓ to ¼ of the
pipe diameter between the tong and the coupling should normally prevent unnecessary friction in the
threads.

4.8.2 Hammering the coupling to facilitate breaking the joint is an injurious practice. If tapping is
required, use only the flat face, never the peen face of the hammer, and under no circumstances should a
sledge hammer be used. Tap lightly near the middle and completely around the coupling, never near the
end nor on the opposite sides only.

4.8.3 Great care should be exercised to disengage all of the thread before lifting the casing out of the
coupling. Do not pull abruptly the casing out of the coupling.

4.8.4 All threads should be cleaned and lubricated or should be coated with a material that will minimize
corrosion. Clean protectors should be placed on the casing before it is laid down.

4.8.5 When casing is being retrieved because of a casing failure, it is imperative to future prevention of
such failures that a thorough metallurgical study be made. Every attempt should be made to retrieve the
failed portion in the "as-failed" condition. When thorough metallurgical analysis reveals some facet of
pipe quality to be involved in the failure, the results of the study should be recorded.

4.9 Basic Recommendations for Prevention of Emergencies

4.9.1 Before proceeding to construction of wells, a degree of risks of emergency failure for casing strings
shall be reviewed. In particular, such risks may be caused by severe service conditions (low temperatures,
corrosive environment, etc.). If required, mitigation arrangements shall be developed.

4.9.2 Strictly comply with the provisions of Section 4 "Good Practice for Operation of Pipe" of this
Manual, API RP 5C1 and ISO 10405, considering these preventive arrangements for mitigation of risks of
emergency failure for casing strings used in construction of wells.

4.9.3 To reduce the emergencies during the works for casing of wells:

– have a good knowledge of mining and geological conditions of well construction, range of potential
problems;
– strictly comply with the requirements of detailed design, current procedural regulations and safety
codes applicable to petroleum and natural gas industry, process flow diagram statement, works
programs; have the above listed documents available at the drill site;
– monitor the condition of borehole and serviceability of equipment and tools;
– know and observe operating procedures for pipe and equipment;
– monitor applied loads;
– make up connections with tongs equipped with a torque gauge;
– implement, in full and in timely manner, arrangements for fault-free working at the drill site;
– make sure that the requirements of Section 4 "Good Practice for Operation of Pipe" of this Manual
are complied with;

37
– loads applied to casing in operation shall not exceed the limit loads according to Annex A,
specification (TU) requirements, recommendations given in "Thread Connections Catalog" (TMK
publication), and ISO 10405, for pipe made to API Spec 5CT with safety factors applied.

To avoid emergencies, running of casing shall be prohibited:

– if the factory marking data are inconsistent with the values stated in the certificate;
– if the inspection results in detection of defects of a magnitude that is greater than allowable;
– in case of improper seating of coupling at the mill (standoff not in conformity with specification
requirements, explicit pipe-to-coupling misalignment, etc.);
– when the pipe wall thickness including the wall thickness at the threaded end in the face-end plane, is
not in compliance with the specification requirements;
– if hydrostatic testing reveals pipe or thread connection leakage.

Investigations of industrial accidents involving pipe should be conducted in accordance with "Guidelines
for investigation of industrial accidents with drill pipe, casing and tubing, and for claim documenting".

5 Transportation and Storage
