1. Introduction
This document has been prepared as guidelines and procedures for PDK Well
Testing Operation including SWT, TDA, DST, TCP and Surface Sampling to be
performed on rig Pasargad-100, Well Number: SPD21-08. The material in this
document was organized to cover all the activities from job planning, preparation,
job execution and job close out.
The purpose of publishing this document is to have an integrated reference for
better planning and execution of well testing operation on Well Number: SPD21-
08.
All specific data used for designs are as per the information provided by client
regarding the K4,B (gas) interval in the test program. All of the data and
calculations shall be finalized after the completion of drilling and wire line
operations.
2. Design and Planning

In order to perform a successful job, having a precise job design and planning is a
must. This will facilitate further job execution and ensure a high service quality.
2.1. Client Job Request
OIEC has requested PDK to perform well testing services on well number SPD21-
08 appraisal well by issuing the call out letter number SP2021/4/2/543.
Client: OIEC
2.2. Technical Meeting

The client has specified its objectives in the well testing program # SP2021-DR-
1AL-870-WT-0001.
Several meetings have been held between OIEC-PDK and OTS technical teams to
review the test program, test objectives , job procedure , well data , etc.
2.3. Resources and Technical Feasibility
After reviewing OIEC well test objectives and evaluating our internal resources, in
terms of qualified personnel and equipment, PDK confirmed its availability and
ability to meet client objectives consulting OTS in this project.
All the required equipment need to be prepared as per the test requirement and
job program.

Length of drill collars Needed 30905.08 Lbs required 508.07 Feet

Length of each drill collar stand: 28m equal to 90 ft,
5 to 6 drill collar stands is required.
5 JAR calculation
Due to an underbalanced area in the Big John Jar, a differential pressure from
inside the jar towards outside can result in the jarring action and therefore
Client: OIEC
disrupting the operation. To be in the safe side DC weight shall be calculated as

per the below table:
Pounds Pressure (psi)
Pull
50,000 7,074
40,000 5,659
30,000 4,244
20,000 2,829
10,000 1,415
The highest differential (while the jar is closed) will happen at the time of firing
the guns with the hydraulic firing head. As per the TCP calculation this pressure is
10600 psi while hydrostatic at jar depth is 5600 psi therefore we will come to a
5000 psi pressure differential which according to the above chart will call for
35000 LBs weight to keep the jar closed at the time of firing the guns. So the
number of DC stands will be elevated to 6 (this is exactly all of the DCs which the
drilling company possess at this moment).

2.12. Contingency Plans

Contingency Plans deals with situations that may arise at the well site, that need
to be discussed/verified with the client beforehand. When placed under time
pressure, people can often deviate from standard operating procedures in an
effort to get the job done. Requests to deviate from our standards should always
be referred to a higher authority.
Contingency Procedures are written procedures that clearly define correct courses
of action for ambiguous situations. Having such a document will reduce the
practice of taking short-cuts or compromising on safety to get the job done.
Below is the draft contingency plan provided by PDK, OIEC is requested to review
this plan and provide its comments accordingly.

Safety Consideration
Never tighten pipes under pressure.

Bleed off pressure and keep at least one valve open before and during loosening
or tightening any connections.
Always flush lines properly prior to applying any pressure. Bleed air of vessels and
piping at the highest point to make sure no air gets trapped in the system.
Client: OIEC
For pressure testing vessels apply low pressure first (250 psi) and observe for leaks
before applying higher pressures.
Have sufficient gauges mounted on equipment to be pressure tested to be able to
monitor pressure in lines at all times.
Discuss pressure testing program with company man and pump operator prior to
start to avoid any confusion (hand out a copy of the pressure test sequence to
company man).
The maximum test pressure on site is the rated working pressure of the
equipment. Under no circumstances should that pressure be exceeded at the well
site. API-pressure tests to the equipment test pressure are only to be carried out
in the Base under special safety precautions for the annual inspection.
Vessels with relief valves (separator) are to be pressure tested to 80% of the vessel
rated working pressure on site. Do not carry out tests of relief valves at the well
site.
All ESD pressure pilots are to be isolated during the pressure testing sequence.
Connections which have been pressure tested already are not to be loosened or
tightened unless the pressure test is repeated afterwards.
Seal off well-test area with tape and signs indicating that high pressure testing is
in progress. Ensure no lifting operation takes place over pressurized equipment.
Obtain a work permit for pressure testing and inform OIM and company man
about the operation.
Be in constant communication with the pump unit via hand held radio during the
complete pressure testing sequence.
Prior to start of pressure testing carry out a safety announcement over the rig
intercom. Repeat safety announcement every hour if pressure tests are still in
progress or announce the end of pressure testing.
Never use diesel for pressure testing surface equipment.
Prior to any pressure test, make sure that all flow lines are safety anchored or
chained down to the rig.
Pressure tests are conducted exclusively with water. Water may be added with
corrosion inhibitors.
It is recommended to let water flow rapidly through the well testing system to
sweep out air or gas that may be trapped in high spots.
Client: OIEC
Devices protected with bursting heads or rupture disc shall never be tested at
100% WP, unless the safety device is removed and replaced by a plug. A safe limit
for testing these devices is 90% of WP.
The record of the pressure tests should be included in the final test report. Use
the Foxboro Recorder or the other recorder available.
4.10. Perform Flow Checks
Pre-Flow Checklist Document provides a minimum set of checks that should be

performed prior to flow. Key operations like ESD checks should be witnessed by
client and rig representative.
Client: OIEC
4.11. Perforate the well with Hydraulic firing head:

1) Close Choke Manifold and open Master Valve
2) Close pipe rams (keep the master valve open to check for any returns) pressure
up annulus to 1000 psi for Packer integrity test.
3) Hold pressure for 10 minutes. Bleed off to zero psi.
4) Cycle Select Tester valve to open position.
Firing TCP guns
1. Hold safety meeting prior to firing the guns.

2. Make sure the valves are lined up prior to initiate firing sequence.
3. Make sure choke manifold is closed, flow head master valve and kill line
valve and flow line valve are open.
4. Pressurize tubing as per the instructions of TCP specialist.
5. Conduct test as per program.
4.14. Clean-Up Flow Period
Objective:
- Attain stable well conditions prior to Main Flow Periods
- Flow-back and disposal (as appropriate) of cushion/completion fluids
- Complete flow period objectives as per Test Program
The principal objective of this step is to prepare the well for the main flow periods
(drawdowns and build-ups) for data gathering purposes. This should be done in a
safe, efficient and environmentally friendly manner.
The principal reason for doing so is to ensure clean-up effects don’t manifest
themselves in main-flow periods. Stable conditions will be the best indicator of
well cleanliness, however the specific criteria for determining it will vary between
wells.
Client: OIEC
4.14.1. Clean up Safety consideration
Hold a safety meeting on the Rig Floor prior to opening the well, discuss at a
minimum the following points:
- Location of Emergency Shut Down (ESD) buttons and the necessary action
in the event of an emergency.
- Actions to be taken in the event of H2S being detected.
- All welding operations must cease and all 'Hot Work' Permits to be
withdrawn for the duration of the Flow Period.
- All non-essential personnel must keep clear of the Rig Floor and Well Test
Area, for the duration of the Flow Period.
- No Crane movements over any of the Well Test Equipment or Flow Lines.
4.14.2. Clean up preparation
a) The entire Flow Path should be physically checked ensuring that all valves
are in the correct positions to ensure the Separator is bypassed.
b) In the event of Hydraulic Valves being utilized, the Hydraulic Operating
pressures should be checked in accordance with the Visual Indicators on the
Valve operating Actuators.
c) Ensure the following:
 Pilot to the relevant Burner is lit.

 The Water Screen is in Operation.
 A Well Test Operator is stationed near the Burner.
 Air compressors must be “ON”
 The Adjustable Choke has been correctly 'zeroed' and open on
16/64”minimum.
 A suitable sized Fixed Choke is installed on the fixed side of the Choke.
 The Work Permit has been issued.
Client: OIEC
 The Radio Operator has notified the Standby Boat and any Helicopters of
the Rig, intention to 'open' up the Well.
 Make announcement to inform Rig Personnel that the well is about to be
opened.
4.14.3. Clean up operation procedure
- Make a final check on the wind direction.

- Verify that there are no boats adjacent to the Rig.
- Open the up to Choke manifold and allow the Wellhead Pressure to
stabilize.
- With the Adjustable Choke set at 16/64”, open the Choke Manifold.
- Monitor the 'downstream' Choke Pressure.
- Increase the choke size in 4/64" stages, or as instructed by the Test
Engineer.
- Monitor Annulus Pressure and bleed off as required by the Test Engineer.
- When Hydrocarbons reach the surface, monitor for H2S and CO2 at the
Choke Manifold, at regular intervals as per the program.
- If not specified otherwise in the Test Program, the Well will be considered
'clean' when:
I. BS& W have been 'constant' for over 2 hours.

II. The Solids content is < 1%.
III. The Wellhead Pressure is 'constant'.
- When the Well is cleaned up, divert through a Fixed Choke.
4.15. Main Flow Periods (Drawdowns)
This task is performed primarily to achieve client objectives in terms of data.

Drawdown data is used to assess well productivity and as such downhole pressure
and flowrate take on principal importance. Similar to the clean-up, it is important
Client: OIEC
we achieve these objectives in a safe, efficient and environmentally friendly

manner.
4.15.3. Main Flow operation procedure
- Separator Start Up
General
Upon completion of the cleanup, the flow should be diverted

through the Separator.
Note:- Two technicians will be required to perform the
following.
Preparation
• All Bleed down Valves must be 'closed'.

• All Pressure and Temperature Recorders/Indicators should be
installed and 'opened' on line.
• The Compressed Air supply to the Control Instrumentation
should be 'opened'.
• Check the stroking of all Pressure and Level Controller Valves.
• Ensure all Daniel Bleed down Valves are 'closed' and there is
no Orifice Plate lowered.
• 'Close' Daniel Slide Valve and Equalizer Valve, 'open' the
Bleeder Valve.
• 'Close' oil meters isolation valve and open oil bypass valve.
If water is being produced in sufficient quantities to measure:
• Set the Water Level Controller

Client: OIEC
• 'Open' the Water Line manual Outlet Valve

• If no Water is being produced, ensure the Water Line manual
Outlet Valve remains 'closed'.
• Set Oil Level Control Valves to 'closed' position.

• 'Open' Oil Line Manual Outlet Valve.
• Set Gas PCV, set point, to give 15psi output to 'close' the
Valve.
• Readjust set point to have the PCV approximately 10% 'open'.
Operating Procedure
• 'Open' Separator Inlet Valve.

• ‘Open' Gas Outlet Valve.
• ‘Close' Separator Oil By-pass Valve.
• Adjust the Separator Pressure to approximately 50% of the
desired Operating Pressure.
• Observe Separator for leaks.
• Set the Separator to the required Operating Pressure.
• Stabilize the Oil Level by adjusting the Fisher Level-Trol.
• Commence Oil Metering through the selected range of the
meter. (1” , 2” or 3” oil meter)
• 'Open' required Oil Meter Valve.
• ‘Close' Meter By-pass Valve.
• ‘Open' the Barton Manifold Valves to equalize the Pressure
across the Barton.
• Select the desired Orifice Plate.
• Remove Carrier Plate as per the following procedures.
- By-Passing the Separator
General
Client: OIEC
Two Technicians should be involved with the by-passing

procedures to ensure a smooth and safe operation.
BY passing separator Procedure
• 'Open' Barton manifold valves to equalize the pressure across

the Barton.
• Lift the orifice plate and carrier as follows.
• 'Open 'Daniel Equalize Valve a maximum of two turns.
• Rotate slide valve shaft clockwise.
• 'Open' slide valve.
• Rotate lower carrier shaft counter-clockwise to lift up carrier
plate.
• Rotate upper carrier shaft counter-clockwise to lift carrier
plate into the Daniel upper body.
• Turn the Slide Valve counter-clockwise to 'close' Slide Valve.
• 'Close' Daniel Equalizer Valve.
• 'Open' slowly the Bleeder Valve to vent off Pressure from the
Upper Body.
• Only when the Pressure Isolation has been secured can the
Clamping Bar and seal be removed, as per procedures.
• By-pass the Oil Meter by 'opening' the by-pass Valve and
'closing' the respective Meter Valve depending on which
Meter Range was selected.
• 'Open' appropriate Separator by-pass Valve.
• 'Close' Separator Inlet Valve.
• 'Close' Oil outlet Manual Valve.
• 'Close' Gas Manual Outlet Valves.
Note: The Separator is now by-passed, with the flow passing directly
through to the Burners. If the expected Back Pressure is going to
be too high when the Separator is by-passed, the Well can be
Client: OIEC
shut-in, prior to the Separator being by-Passed, assuming steps

'a', 'b' and 'c' of the above procedure have been carried out.
If there are no further Flow Periods, the Separator should be bled down.
- Changing choke while flowing through separator
• 'Open' Barton Differential Equalizing Manifold.

• Raise the Daniel Orifice Plate.
• By-pass Oil Meters.
• If operating close to the Upper Limit of the Separator capacity
BY-PASS THE SEPARATOR.
• Change the Choke size.
• Return flow through the Separator (if by-passed)
• Pass Flow through the Meter.
• Once the Separator Pressure has stabilized, lower the Daniel
Orifice Plate.
• 'Close' the Barton Differential Pressure Equalizing Valves.
4.16. Build Up
This task is performed solely for data gathering purposes, which the well test crew
may have little to do with. So if all that is required is to maintain static conditions,
ensure that we do so. Avoid doing anything with a potential to disturb downhole
conditions.
The Choke Manifold should remain continuously manned during this period.
4.15.1. Down hole Shut in
General
After Flowing the Well at a Stable Rate for the required time, the Well should be
shut-in down hole at the tester valve. The procedure for this operation is as
follows:
Preparation
Client: OIEC
- By-pass Meter and lift Orifice Plate.

- Ensure Propane to the Burners is 'on' (Pilots lit).
- Ensure Data Acquisition is set to Client's requirements.
Operation Procedure
- Close Down hole tester valve.

- Monitor Wellhead Pressure till it drops to around 500 psi [pressure value
will depend on client request] from the Flowing Pressure, giving a good
indication of down hole valve 'closure'.
- Close Choke and observe WHP to verify down hole seal is holding.
- Note: If testing gas wells, pressure may initially rise due to gas expansion
- By-pass the Separator.
Notes
This is done after shut-in down hole to avoid the risk of affecting build-up data.
This can occur if bypassing the separator increases backpressure at the choke such
that we stay outside of critical flow conditions. Stable drawdown pressure prior to
build-up is critical to Well Test Interpretation.
4.16.2. Surface Shut in

General
After Flowing Well at stable rate for the required time, the Well should be Shut-in
at Surface at the Well Test Choke Manifold.
Preparation
- By-pass Meter and lift Orifice Plate.

- Ensure Propane to the Burners is 'on' (Pilots lit).
- Ensure Data Acquisition is set to Client's requirements.
- Ensure relevant Wellhead Data Sheets are available.
Client: OIEC
Operation Procedure
- Shut in Well at Choke Manifold.

- Monitor Wellhead Pressure to ensure that there is a positive indication of
'closure'.
- By-pass Separator.
- Bleed off Surface Pressure downstream of Choke Manifold to Burner Heads
and ensure 'Zero' Pressure throughout all downstream Surface Equipment
Test lines.
Notes
- All Pressure monitoring shall be conducted by PDK Personnel (including

readings from the pressure ports on the Production Valve).
- All Data monitoring shall be in accordance to Client's requirements.
- Data collection between Mechanical and Electrical Sensors to be cross
checked for validation purposes.
Killing the Well
1) At the end of shut in period, bleed off surface pressure to “0” psi through
choke manifold.
2) Activate RD circulating valve and Reverse out all hydrocarbons.
3) Fill up string with kill fluid.
4) Cycle Select Tester valve to hold open position and start bull heading the kill
fluid into the formation.
6) Bull head into formation xxx bbls (max pressure at surface xxxx psi)
7) Once the bullhead is completed, observe well, and open by pass packer and
flow check for xx mins.
8) Commence direct circulation
9) When the brine is balanced stop circulation
10) Pull the string out of hole and lay down the string.
Client: OIEC
4.17. Crew Safety Meeting prior to rig down
Objective:
- Avoid rushing into rig-down and remind all that safety remains priority
- Review JRC
- Focus crew on the task at hand and avoid injuries
At this stage in the well test, the focus of the crew is often on other things, given
that the main part of the test has been completed. It is thus necessary to remind
personnel that the job is not over until everyone is home safely. Taking the time to
review safety aspects and reinforce correct lifting techniques (crew may be tired)
are important measures for reducing injury.
Even if time pressures are applied to the crew, it is important the supervisor
makes time and puts the correct emphasis on safety.
4.18. Flush & Rig-Down Test Equipment
Flush hydrocarbons from system in an environmentally friendly manner, Rig-down

and backload equipment in a safe manner and ensure no PDK equipment is left
behind at the well site.
An additional focus put on this step is the verification that all items are packed
and accounted for. Too often in an attempt to expedite the departure from the
well site, loose items are overlooked or left behind due to negligence.
5. Job Close Out

5.1. Perform Well Site Post-Job Meeting with Client
Objective:
- Receive constructive feedback on job performance
Client: OIEC
- Get field ticket signed to acknowledge delivery of services

- Review PDK performance over all phases of service delivery
- Develop a continuous improvement plan to improve service quality
Post Job Meeting Report
