The maintenance interval required by either the RBSA or RBS retriever will vary depending
upon the service to which it is subjected. Certain fluids will wash out all lubricant from the
retriever after one retrieval; others will deposit debris in the retriever making operation difficult.
If the retriever has been in use and it is anticipated not being used again for a period longer
than one day, it should be completely disassembled, cleaned and lubricated. Also, if in a days
operation (because of adverse retrieval environment conditions) the retriever becomes difficult
to operate, feels gritty and does not stroke or turn easily, it should first be cleaned and
lubricated without disassembly as indicated in Part 5.2 below. If cleaning and lubricating
without disassembly does not relieve the difficulties in the retriever operation, it should be
completely disassembled, cleaned and lubricated as indicated in either Part 5.3 or 5.4 of this
Section.
Lubricant choices are many. For a particular service, some experimentation may be
necessary. Recommended lubricants are:
1. Motor Oil - (SAE 30 weight or equivalent).
2. Lubriplate (multi-purpose) - A lithium base grease; usually the best choice for
most service since it is thin and applies easily. Use for service temperatures of
0° to +350°F (-18° to +177°C). Available as Cosasco 129372.
3. Synthetic lubricant - A molybdenum disulfide grease containing rust and oxidation

inhibitors. It is recommended for use in extreme pressures and temperatures (-40°
to +600°F, -40° to +316°C). Available as Cosasco 201688.
5.1 Sour Gas Service
On both the RBS and RBSA retrievers, applicable materials comply with the requirements of
NACE standard MR0175, "Sulfide Stress Cracking Resistant Metallic Materials for Oil Field
Equipment." As stated in this standard. "Materials ... are resistant to, but not necessarily
immune to (sulfide stress cracking) under all service conditions." Thus, when the retriever is
used in sour environments, it must be thoroughly cleaned after use to help prevent corrosion
and/or damage to internal materials.
5.2 Cleaning and Lubricating Without Disassembly
1. Extend the retriever until the socket adapter is withdrawn into the inner barrel by
approximately 1/2 inch. Place the retriever head end down on a clean surface.
2. Add solvent. Pour approximately one pint (1/2 liter) of solvent into the retriever
inner barrel.
3. Collapse the retriever slowly.
4. Extend the retriever slowly. The solvent, while in the process of cleaning and
flushing will remove all lubricant or at least emulsify sufficiently to make extension of
the retriever difficult.
Page: 10 of 44
5. Turn the retriever end-for-end. With the retriever head end up, let the solvent drain
out.
6. Repeat steps 1 through 5.
7. Extend the retriever again as indicated in paragraph 1. The retriever head end
should again be placed down on a clean surface.
8. Pour SAE 30 weight motor oil into the retriever inner barrel (about four ounces - 100
grams).
9. Apply grease to the external surface of the retriever inner barrel.
10. Stroke the retriever. Extend and collapse the retriever until the oil and grease have
been adequately filmed on all working surfaces.
11. Test the retriever operation. If the retriever still has a gritty feel and sound after the
stroking procedure indicated above, it must be disassembled for thorough cleaning
and lubricating.

6 SERVICING & PRESSURE TESTING OF RETRIEVAL EQUIPMENT
Retriever and Service Valve must be pressure tested

IMPORTANT! prior to use to ensure safe operation of tools!
All Retrieval Tools and Service Valves must be pressure tested prior to use. The Field
Technician using the equipment must possess current pressure test certificates for the
retrieval equipment prior to commencing on-line retrievals operations.
If the pipelines being worked on contain heavy debris, including, but not limited to; iron
sulphide, sand, solids and iron oxide, the tool may become contaminated and difficult to use.
The Field Technician will determine on a case by case basis if the tool needs to be stripped
down or if it can be flushed out with either water or suitable cleaning agent without stripping
the tools down.
At the end of each major service visit, the tools will be stripped down, cleaned, seals replaced
as necessary, re-assembled and pressure tested. See Section 6.2 for pressure testing
procedure.
6.1 Pressure Testing
Cosasco Pressure Test Rig
Retriever and Service Valve must be pressure tested

IMPORTANT! prior to use to ensure safe operation of tools!
All Retrieval Tools and Service Valves must be pressure tested prior to use. The Field
Technician using the equipment must possess current pressure test certificates for the
retrieval equipment prior to commencing on-line retrievals operations.
Page: 40 of 44
NOTE: A pressure test can only be considered valid if the test meets the following minimum
criteria:
 Prior to Mobilisation:
o On completion of a service campaign the Retrieval Tool and Service Valve

must be disassembled, inspected, and fully serviced in accordance with the
latest revision of the relevant Cosasco ‘Maintenance Work Instruction’. Upon
servicing completion, providing a successful pressure test is completed the
equipment may be mobilized for further service work within 7 days of the
successful test.
o If the equipment is stored for a time period greater than 7 days from servicing,
but no longer than 6 months it may be mobilized for further service work
without being re-serviced, provided that a new successful pressure test has
been completed within the 7 days prior to mobilization.
o If the equipment is to be stored for a period of greater than 6 months from

being serviced then all equipment should be re-serviced and pressure tested
every 6 months in accordance with the latest revision of the relevant Cosasco
‘Maintenance Work Instruction’. A successful pressure test will be required
within the 7 days prior to mobilization for service work.
 Equipment mobilized for Field Service:
o Once the retrieval equipment has been used in the field each online retrieval
operation can be considered a successful pressure test for a further
consecutive online retrieval operation with a validity of 12 hours. This duration
between retrieval operations may be increased to 72 hours provided the tool is
drained of any process fluids and the equipment internals have a suitable
lubricant / protectant such as WD40 or Hydraulic Oil applied within the 12 hours
following the last successful retrieval operation.
o If it has been longer than 12 hours since the equipment was last used (or 72
hours if drained, flushed and lubricated) then the equipment must be
disassembled, inspected, and fully serviced in accordance with the latest
revision of the relevant Cosasco ‘Maintenance Work Instruction’. Upon
servicing completion, providing a successful pressure test is completed the
equipment may be used for further service work within 7 days of the successful
test.
o If the retrieval equipment is used on any fitting containing debris/grit/sand

which is deemed to affect the smooth operation of the equipment then the
equipment at minimum must be drained, flushed and lubricated prior to further
use. Special attention should be given to bleed valve and pressure gauge
assemblies. A successful pressure test must then be carried out prior to the
equipment being used for further retrieval operations.
At the end of the shift, within a 12 hour period the equipment should then be disassembled,
inspected, and fully serviced in accordance with the latest revision of the relevant Cosasco
‘Maintenance Work Instruction’. Upon servicing completion, providing a successful pressure
test is completed the equipment may be used for further service work within 7 days of the
successful test.
Page: 41 of 44
If at any point either Retrieval Technician deems it necessary, for any

reason, then the equipment must be stripped, cleaned, and serviced in
IMPORTANT! accordance with the relevant Cosasco ‘Maintenance Work Instruction’.
A successful pressure test will then be required prior to further use!
6.2 Pressure Testing Procedure
1. Fit the Service Valve to the access fitting on the pressure test rig by placing the
hammer nut end of the valve onto the sealing face of access fitting.
2. Turn the hammer nut clockwise down the external acme thread until the Service
Valve is securely seated to the access fitting body.
3. Tighten the hammer nut using a brass or equivalent non sparking hammer.
4. Check that the bypass valve on the Service Valve is closed and the atmospheric
bleed valve(s) is open.
5. The Back Pressure pump should be filled with hydraulic oil and a connecting hose
(of a suitable pressure rating) used to connect the pump outlet to the quick coupler
inlet fitted to the test rig.
6. With the pump on "Pressure Hold” and at its low-pressure setting (the button on
the right hand side of the pump body pulled out) hand pump the oil into the
pressure test rig, ensuring the isolating valve is opened.
7. Continue pumping until all air is displaced from the atmospheric bleed valve.
8. Continue pumping and during a pump action, close the atmospheric bleed valve.
9. Stop pumping once the oil level has passed the main (bottom valve if testing a
double isolation valve) ball valve and close it.
10. Re-commence pumping and pressurize the assembly to the pressures stated in
step 11. Leave pressurized for 15 minutes during each stage and observe that
there is no pressure drop on the pressure test rig gauge.
Note - There may be some drop in pressure during the 15 minute test period due to
the compression of air still in the system and also due to water being drawn back into
the hand pump. If any pressure loss is due to leakage, this will be visible and
immediately apparent.
1. Pressure test the equipment to the following pressures:
 5% of pressure rating of equipment.

Page: 42 of 44
2. After completing all six tests in step 11, release pressure in the hydraulic pump by
turning the pressure hold screw on the left hand side of the pump towards
"Pressure Release". Note: this process must be repeated for the top ball valve
when testing a double isolation model.
3. Ensure the main (or both) ball valves are opened and place the Retriever tool onto
the Service Valve. Turn the hammer nut union in a clockwise direction.
4. Tighten the hammer nut using a brass or equivalent non sparking hammer.
5. Ensure the bleed to atmosphere valve(s) on the Service Valve is closed and the
Retriever bleed to atmosphere valve is opened.
6. With the hydraulic pump on "Pressure Hold” and at its low-pressure setting (the
button on the right hand side of the pump body pulled out) hand pump the oil
through the Service Valve and into the retrieval tool, ensuring the isolating valve is
opened.
7. Continue pumping until all air is displaced from the Retriever atmospheric bleed
valve.
8. Continue pumping and during a pump action, close the Retriever atmospheric
bleed valve.
9. Continue pumping and pressurize the assembly to the pressures stated in step 11.
Leave pressurized for 15 minutes during each stage and observe that there is no
pressure drop on the pressure test rig gauge. Note: There may be some drop in
pressure during the 15 minute test period due to the compression of air still in the
system and also due to water being drawn back into the hand pump. If any
pressure loss is due to leakage, this will be visible and immediately apparent.
10. During each stage the Retriever requires to be stroked to check the integrity of the
seals over the full travel of the outer barrel.
11. Repeat step 12.
12. Check both the pressure gauges on the test rig and retrieval tool are at zero and
drain off any residual fluid trapped in the retrieval tool and Service Valve.
13. Remove both the retrieval tool and Service Valve from the test rig.
14. Complete a pressure test certificate for both the Retriever and the Service Valve
and file these in the dedicated maintenance folder for each tool.
15. A scanned copy of the original should also be filed accordingly.
Note - There may be some drop in pressure during the 15 minute test period due to
the compression of air still in the system and also due to water being drawn back into
the hand pump. If any pressure loss is due to leakage, this will be visible and
immediately apparent.
