EQUIPMENT SERVICE
PROCEDURE 0240
EQUIPMENT
Running Tool
Vetco Gray SG type Universal Casing Hanger Running Tools are designed to run the
above system casing hangers with and without the packoff assembly in a single trip.
Refer to Operating and Service Procedure (OSP) 285 for full bore operations and
OSP 6106 for dual trip runs when the packoff is not run on the casing hanger at the time
the casing hanger is run.
A sleeve (ribbed centralizer) assembly serves as a tool stabilizer and turns freely on the
tool stem. Tools are provided with 4-1/2" (NC-50) IF or 6-5/8" regular box up with 4-1/2"
API non-upset 8RD box down (standard) or NC-50 box down (special) and can be
supplied with customer specified connections.
There are two main bodies, similar in function, however, different in rating; 10,000 psi
(690 bar) and 15,000 psi (1 035 bar). The main bodies differ in their respective seal
diameters. The 15,000 psi body has a seal diameter of 5.74" (ref. P/N H50493) while the
10,000 psi body has a seal diameter of 7.615" (ref. P/N 111506). The main bodies have
a floating balance sleeve with o-rings to seal the running tool to the hanger during
circulation/cementing and to provide for casing bore isolation during BOP testing.
Casing Hanger
Vetco Gray SG type casing hanger assemblies consist of a casing hanger body and a
lock-down ring.
The casing hanger has a casing thread box down for make up to a casing pup or joint
and a square thread box up with both internal and external 2 pitch modified square
threads, as well as, sealing areas.
The internal thread is a left hand thread, into which the running tool or emergency wear
bushing seal engages.
The external thread is a right hand thread onto which the packoff threads.
The ID seal area provides for sealing of the running tool, test plug, packoff
running/retrieving tool and emergency seal.
The external seal area provides a seal pocket for the standard seal or tapered seal for
emergency packoffs which seal against the wellhead housing and the casing hanger.
Once assembled, right-hand rotation of the running tool moves the packoff assembly
down into its seal pocket while releasing the running tool from the hanger.
Packoff
The pack off assembly is designed with a low friction coating which reduces the
possibility of shearing action on the seal element as it is moves into its energized
position. The packoff nut is machined to receive four torque keys and/or a “j” pin of the
running/retrieving tool and has four flow-by-slots to allow for circulation when running
and cementing the casing string.
SPECIFICATIONS
Pressure Ratings:
The rated working pressure of the SG packoff assembly is the same as the wellhead
housing in which it is installed. Maximum test pressure shall be limited to the maximum
working pressure of components used in the system to be tested. Working and test
pressures are defined as the pressures to which the energized packoff assembly and
casing hanger are rated. Casing hangers in some systems have different ratings than
others. The burst or collapse pressure rating of the casing strings involved should also
be considered for all test.
Refer to the drawings for dimensions and lengths of the tools when they are made up.
Recommended Lubricant - Jet Lube Alco EP 73 Plus or equivalent
Lubricants containing metallic particles such as drill pipe thread dope must not be used.
Tool Capacity: 4-1/2" IF: 600,000 lbs
6-5/8" Regular 1,000,000 lbs
Metric equivalents used in Vetco Gray procedures are expressed in SI units as illustrated above.
ROUTINE OPERATIONS
WARNING:
PRE-OPERATIONAL CHECKS
General Notes
1. Review Operating and Service Procedure 282 for details of 18-5/8" or 16"
casing hangers and running tools.
2. Assemble the casing hanger, packoff and running tool prior to running casing.
Care must be taken to avoid damage to all seal areas during handling, assembly
and storage.
4. Annulus monitoring casing hangers are fitted with annulus monitoring ports.
These hangers have an annulus shut off insert that is installed during assembly at
the factory and should not require further service prior to or during running.
However, make absolutely certain the threaded ports for the annulus monitoring
passages are not plugged. Refer to the drawing for port location.
5. 21-1/4" and 18-3/4" SG-5XP four hanger wellhead systems utilize a 13-3/8" casing
hanger fitted with an actuator sleeve and a load ring, as is in standard use in the
SG-6 wellhead systems, to transfer casing test pressure load into the wellhead
housing wall. This load transfer takes place during testing of the packoff and
transfers load from the casing hanger - through the load ring into the wellhead
housing wall.
7. All interfacing components of Vetco Gray or others should be fitted and drifted prior
to final assembly and used to ensure functional compatibility.
1. Clean the internal left-hand thread, the external right-hand thread and seal area of
the casing hanger thoroughly and grease lightly.
2. Clean the internal threads of the packoff nut thoroughly and grease lightly. Ensure
the seal portion is free to rotate on the nut. Install the packoff assembly on the
casing hanger and turn it to the right until the seal contacts with the seal area
taper. Then back it off until the standoff is 2-1/2" to 2-5/8" (6.35 to 6.67 cm)
between the bottom packoff assembly and the packoff landing shoulder which is
behind the lock ring.
NOTE:
The “SG-LTR” packoff cannot be run all the way down by hand because the elastomer
seal protrudes on the inside. However, they can be run down far enough to verify thread
condition or alternatively to ensure total thread engagement, packoffs can be installed
upside down and threaded all the way down.
Running Tool
3. Inspect the o-rings on the balance sleeve and replace as required. Inspect the
threads to make certain that the lead thread is blunt start and is not damaged. If
necessary, file the lead thread to remove burrs. Grease entire area lightly.
CAUTION:
If the tool has less than 2-1/2 full threads do not use the tool, as it will have a
reduced capacity.
CAUTION:
Do not put tongs on the seal surface of the casing hanger body.
4. Depending on the drillpipe spacing required to land the casing hanger, make up a
single or stand of drillpipe on top of the running tool. Install the cement wiper plug
launching assembly on bottom of the running tool. Lower assembly into the hanger
and packoff assembly, aligning the blunt starts on the running tool with the thread
start on the casing hanger. The packoff assembly may require a slight amount of
left-hand rotation to align the torque slots with the drive keys on the running tool.
Do not rotate the packoff in a manner that decreases the stand-off. A larger
standoff is preferred.
5. Measure and record the overall stack-up height of running tool and casing hanger,
i.e. from hanger landing shoulder to running tool top sleeve or bottom. The
dimension will decrease as the tool makes up properly.
6. With all the weight slacked off, rotate the running tool to the left. The tool will make
up approximately 3-1/4 - 3-1/2 turns. When the tool is fully made up measure the
distance from the pack off landing shoulder to the top of tool main body. The
distance should be 19-5/8 " +or - 1/8". This dimension is critical to ensure correct
make up of the tool. Back the tool off 1/8 turn to break thread bind.
7. Measure the standoff from the packoff landing shoulder to the nose of the packoff.
The distance should be 4-1/8" to 4-1/4" (10.4 to 10.8 cm), and is critical. As a
secondary check to verify that the running threads are fully made up. The overall
stack up height of running tool and casing hanger should be about 2" shorter than
measurements obtained in Step 5 above. Place a chalk mark across the running
tool, packoff and casing hanger. If 4-1/8" to 4-1/4" is not achieved, reset the initial
packoff stand off by amount that is short of this dimension.
The assembly is now ready to run. If the assembly will be set aside or stored, make
absolutely certain that the seal is properly protected against all possible damage.
RUNNING PROCEDURES
CAUTION:
In some circumstances the running tool and casing hanger have been made up
prior to arrival on the rig. It is essential that the dimensions shown in "6" and "7"
above are checked prior to picking up the running tool/hanger into the vertical
position.
In the 21-1/4" and 18-3/4" SG 4 hanger systems, if the 18-5/8" or 16" casing hanger
won’t be run, a 13-3/8" or the appropriate size casing hanger with a dummy hanger must
then be used. These casing hangers are available with the dummy hanger factory
installed, Ref. P/N 113071. The dummy hanger acts as a spacer as well as
incorporating an actuator sleeve and replaces the actuator sleeve on the standard
casing hanger. Refer to the Disassembly/Assembly section in this procedure for details.
1. If required, retrieve the ball/flex joint wear bushing, and the wellhead nominal seat
protector or wear bushing, as the case may be. When pulling the wear bushing or
seal protector take measurements using a reference wire, refer to SIS 004, to
ensure accurate measurements when landing casing.
WARNING:
3. Unlock the hook and pick up the pre-assembled casing hanger and running tool
assembly and make it up to the last joint of casing. Be careful when making it up,
ensuring that the entire hanger running tool assembly is treated as one unit, and
that the running string is not rotated under any circumstances at this time. Visually
check the chalk mark, made previously in step 7 of the pre-op checks, for
alignment. If there has been any movement, re-align the marks as required.
4. Open the choke and kill lines before entering the BOP. Take care when passing
through the rotary table and diverter housing. Lower the casing hanger through the
riser and the BOP stack.
5. Continue to lower the string and land the hanger in the wellhead housing. Note the
load on the weight indicator, just before and after landing. Close the choke and kill
lines after the hanger has landed. Verify the casing hanger has landed in the
correct position, see earlier measurements taken in Step 1. Adjust the motion
compensator to support all but 10,000 lbs (4 540 kgs) of the running string weight.
Prior to breaking circulation, the running tool must be rotated 1/8 turn to the right.
This should ensure the tool is free to rotate after cementing operations.
WARNING:
6. Circulate through the running string, and cement as required. After cementing
open the choke and kill lines and circulate to flush the BOP stack and riser. This
continues moving wellbore debris and assists in keeping the wellhead seal area
clean to assist in packoff setting.
7. Less than 10k weight down as a passive compensate, could result in the tool
jumping out of the casing hanger during rotation. Place a reference mark on the
rotary table and running string. Through the used of standard rig equipment (i.e.
top drive, cementing kelly, power tongs, rig tongs, etc.) turn the string to the right.
Right hand rotation of the running string performs several steps simultaneously:
(a) It releases the running tool from the left-hand running threads of the casing
hanger.
(b) It moves the packoff assembly down into the seal area onto its load shoulder.
(c) As the packoff lands on the load shoulder, it drives the lock ring on the casing
hanger outward into the lock ring recess in the wellhead housing, locking the
casing hanger in place. If the lock ring has been removed, this action does not
happen.
NOTE:
Upon release of the running tool (3 to 3-1/2" turns), if excessive torque is observed, it may
be necessary to adjust the motion compensator.
8. After approximately 3-1/4 - 3-1/2 turns, the running tool will be free and will “jump”
because the lead left-hand running thread on the bottom of the running tool will
drop off the lead thread of the casing hanger. (Dependent on condition, this
movement may be felt through the running string.)
9. Record the torque required to rotate the running string during the process. This
torque is the result of drillpipe wall contact in the marine riser, flex joint angle,
debris in the wellhead housing, weight down and friction/debris in the make up
threads between the packoff and casing hanger and must be added to the
minimum torque from the table to assure a properly energized packoff.
NOTE:
Drillpipe twist may result in more turns being required at the rotary. In all cases, release
the torque slowly, note and record the amount of twist that may have been in the running
string. Example: Running string stopped at 8-1/2 turns. Release of torque backed up
running string ½ turn. This means only 8 turns at the packoff. 8 to 8-1/2 turns is essential
to achieve and maintain a seal and energize the lockring if fitted.
10. Make four (4) plus turns to move the packoff assembly down and begins
compression. A slight torque will build up. Using the total torque requirement
determined in Step 9, continue making turns until the full 8 to 8-1/2 turns are
achieved. (Refer to the Insert on the following page). After achieving the 8 to 8-1/2
turns hold the increased torque for 30 seconds. Release slowly. Place a mark on
the rotary and reapply the torque. If no further make up is observed, the packoff is
11. Ensure running string/cement head is open to atmosphere. Circulate and test
choke and kill lines for integrity. Open lines, close ram/annular and test packoff.
Vetco Gray recommends that the test pressure required is achieved in increments
of 1,000 psi (69 bar) or less.
INSERT
This graph depicts a laboratory view of the SG-LTR seal torque as it moves through its
travel distance downhole. Relative torques experienced are along the left with relative
turns and packoff to hanger positions across the bottom. Though the figures are
laboratory conditions, they can provide an understanding of the type of torque curve
that can be experienced offshore. These values do not provide for the affects of rig
position, thread condition, debris or contaminant in the seal pocket, hanger alignment,
rotary or torque gauge accuracy and/or compensator fluidness or sensitivity. These
factors as well as a thorough understanding of hole conditions i.e. dirty or clean, mud
quality, monitoring returns during bottoms up, cementing and displacement are factors
to consider when setting an SG seal. Discussions made to continue to torque a packoff
when torque ranges above 10,000 ft-lbs (4 540 kgs) should consider all of the above as
well as individual experience, water depth and discussion with others as whether to
continue or to pull packoff in favor of a mill and flush tool run to clean out the seal pocket
area and re-run packoff.
NOTE:
As BOP stack and wellhead configurations vary from rig to rig, it is important to obtain the
top of wellhead to BOP ram measurement. The stack/wellhead configuration may be
such that a complete stack test is impossible with the tool. In that case, the tool should be
pulled and the stack testing completed with a plug type test tool.
12. After satisfactory pressure test, bleed off the pressure, open the pipe
rams/annular and re-apply selected torque. Some additional make up may occur.
This compensates for movement of the SG seal element during testing and
provides for optimum seal integrity. Release torque slowly, then re-test if desired
(not required), or pick up the running string carefully and recover.
NOTE:
If there is any concern or possibility that cement or excess debris may be in the wellhead,
raise the running tool to a height sufficient to ensure the stinger below the tool is still in the
casing hanger and pump through the running string to flush the wellhead.
CAUTION:
Caution is advised when pulling the running tool into the inner barrel of the slip
joint.
POST-OPERATIONAL MAINTENANCE
Running Tool
1. Clean the threads. Replace the o-rings if they are damaged. Usually the lower
thread of the left-hand thread on the bottom of the running tool is slightly burred
after a job and should be filed to remove the burrs before it is used again.
2. Grease the running threads, apply thread dope to tool joints and install protectors.
3. Re-dress the blunt start thread in the casing hanger running tool.
RECOMMENDED SPARES
Casing Hangers
All standard Vetco Gray SG casing hangers (except 18-3/4" x 16") for the same
wellhead size use identical packoff assemblies. One spare packoff assembly is
recommended for each group of hangers.
Running Tools
If running tool has less than 2-1/2" of full threads, do not use.
1. Using a ½" hex key, remove the shear pin/socket head cap screws (5).
2. Using a 3/8" hex key, remove the socket head cap screws (6) that secure the
actuating sleeve to the hanger body. It will be necessary to turn the actuating
sleeve to align the ports in the sleeve with the cap screws. Remove the actuating
sleeve.
3. Position the dummy hanger on the casing hanger aligning ports in the dummy
hanger with threaded holes in the hanger body. Using a 3/8" hex key, install and
securely tighten all six socket head cap screws (6).
4. Rotate the dummy hanger to align shear pin ports with holes in the hanger body.
Using a ½" hex key, install and securely tighten all six shear pins.
EQUIPMENT
The Vetco Gray Flush Tool is a cylindrical assembly with cutting teeth on the bottom and
an API tool joint box looking up. The tool has internal fluid courses that run between the
running string bore and the cutting teeth. This provides a flushing action to remove
loosened material. The OD of the tool is fluted to improve flow-by. The flush tool is
designed to remove some junk, cement, formation cuttings or gumbo from the area
between the casing hanger and wellhead housing.
SPECIFICATIONS
ROUTINE OPERATIONS
PRE-OPERATIONAL CHECKS
1. Inspect the OD and ID of the tool for gouges or dents. If any are found, file or grind
smooth.
2. Connect a pressure sub or the kelly to the tool joint connection and pump through
the tool to verify that the fluid courses are clear.
3. Paint the inside of the tool to give a verification of the amount of swallow the tool
has made over the hanger. The flush tool must bottom out on top of the hanger to
ensure the seal pocket is clean.
RUNNING PROCEDURE
NOTE:
The following procedure assumes the packoff assembly was run with the casing hanger,
and either a seal was not obtained due to foreign material around the casing hanger and
the packoff assembly has been retrieved, or; the casing hanger was run without the
packoff and there is a possibility that cement or formation material is in the seal area and
must be removed prior to running the packoff.
1. Adjust the heave compensator to support all but approximatley 2,500 pounds
(1134 Kg) of the running string weight.
2. The elements of some annular preventers do not always return to their original
shape (ID), after being tested. The close fit of the tool in the BOP may make it
necessary to rotate the tool slightly to get it through the annular preventer(s).
3. When the tool is past the bottom ram cavity, and before it lands, set the rotary table
at 15-20 rpm. Start rig pumps and increase the pressure to approximately 500 psi
(34 bar). Slowly lower the running string. Do not allow the drum to feed off in large
increments. Be alert for any sudden torque build up. Should this happen, stop the
rotary table and carefully raise the string. With the string up, rotate it slightly and
re-engage the flush tool as described above. Allow the tool to run for
approximately ten minutes in the wellhead.
4. Pull and inspect the painted ID and the OD of the tool for marks indicating the tool
has been running on the casing hanger. When the flush tool has fully cleaned the
seal pocket, the the inner bottom will land in the top of the casing hanger. Marks in
the paint, at this point, indicate “full” swallow and seal pocket clean out. This check
will tell if all the foreign material has been removed from the seal area or if the tool
should be run again.
NOTE:
With the possibility of debris still being present above the packoff landing shoulder,
particular attention must be paid to the number of turns achieved during packoff
re-installation as this may have interferance implication on future tubing hangers.
RECOMMENDED SPARES
None required.

SPECIFICATIONS
ROUTINE OPERATIONS
PRE-OPERATIONAL CHECKS
1. Clean the Squnch Joint on the bottom of the housing extension, if supplied, and
ensure the o-ring is in good condition. Lightly grease the inside of the box.
2. Check the AX, VX or VXVT (refer to drawing) seal surface at the top of the housing
for any damage.
3. The nominal seat protector is usually installed in the wellhead housing as supplied.
If the nominal seat protector is installed on the rig, the o-rings should be inspected
for damage and the exterior given a light coat of grease or oil before being installed
in the housing.
NOTE:
When the seat protector is removed for a BOP stack test, new o-rings must be installed
before the seat protector is re-installed in the wellhead housing to ensure that the seat
protector is not displaced by drilling operations.
4. Check the external lock ring which locks in the 30" housing, and verify that it is
undamaged and free to move in and out.
RUNNING PROCEDURE
1. With the last joint of 20" casing supported in the rotary table, pick up the wellhead
housing using the left hand threaded, or cam actuated, housing running tool.
2. Make up the housing to the 20" casing, and lower the housing and casing string
through the rotary table. The housing may be run and soft landed using a heave
compensator.
4. Make up the housing running tool to the cement stinger string, and install the
housing running tool in the wellhead housing. Run and land the wellhead housing
and 20" casing string in the conductor housing on the sea floor. If desired, make a
pick up test of approximately 50,000 lbs (22,680 kgs) over the string weight to
verify that the wellhead housing is locked down to the conductor housing.
6. Recover the housing running tool and cement stinger string by releasing the cam
actuated housing running tool as per specific running tool procedure.
7. Pick up slowly on the running string to assure that the running tool has released
from the wellhead housing.
CAUTION:
When recovering the running string verify that the string is not hung off with the
end of the stinger in or near the wellhead housing as vessel motion could allow the
stinger to damage the VX seal surface in the wellhead housing.

ROUTINE OPERATION
PRE-OPERATIONAL CHECKS
NOTE:
Under conditions where diver visibility will be limited, additional paint marks may be
added to the PGS frame to clearly identify the bolts that have to be cut to permit retrieval
of the guide base.
1. Clean and inspect the inside of the Squnch Joint box on the bottom of the housing
extension, inspect the O-ring and replace if damaged.
2. Inspect the running tool profiles and threads on the ID of the conductor housing as
the case may be. Some conductor housings only have a cam actuated running tool
profile or a threaded running tool profile. Others have both.
3. Lightly grease the inside profile of the housing and the Squnch Joint connector.
3. The lead thread should be a blunt start for easy make-up. If damaged or worn
down, the blunt end should be restored with a grinder. Lightly grease the threads.
1. Inspect the O-ring on the ram housing for any damage. Lightly grease this O-ring
immediately before running.
2. Remove the safety-chained plug on top of the ram housing exposing the grease
fitting. Pump general purpose grease through this fitting until grease extrudes out
of the ¼" grease relief check valve. Replace the plug and tighten.
NOTE:
In cold weather the increased viscosity of the grease may not allow proper inward
movement of the rams by hand, after the running tool has been lubricated as above. If
this condition exists, two of the ram guide pins (3) located at 180o on top of the ram
housing may be removed before attempting to push the rams back into the ram housing.
Removing the guide pins provides additional grease relief ports. Make certain the milled
slot(4) in the ram is positioned upward before re-installing and tightening the ram guide
pins.
3. Rotate the shaft to the left approximately 2-1/2 turns to extend the rams fully. Then,
rotate the shaft to the right approximately 2-1/2 turns, and insure that the rams will
move back into the ram housing freely when lightly tapped using a wooden block
and hammer. Tighten all screws and plugs.
4. Make sure the spring loaded anti-rotation pins move in and out freely.
General Notes
If the 30" conductor is to be jetted in, all 3" bull plugs must be removed from the running
tool. The jetting string will be made up to the tool joint pin on the bottom of the running
tool shaft. With the running tool fully made up the jetting sub should be spaced 18" to
24" above bottom, inside the conductor pipe depending on the jet sub nozzle angle
and bottom conditions.
If the conductor string is fitted with a float shoe, one or more of the 3" bull plugs on the
running tool, must be removed to completely fill the conductor string with seawater, then
replaced at sea level before running the assembly.
The cam actuated running tool is also available with a one inch (1") check valve which
allows the conductor annulus to assume ambient pressure. This check valve is not
intended to fill the conductor string.
All cam actuated running tools have a ¼" grease relief check valve. An arrow on this
valve must point toward the open end of the check valve. This check valve allows
excess grease to vent from the ram cavities and prevents seawater from entering the
ram mechanism which is isolated by O-rings located on the rams and between the tool
stem and ram housing.
RUNNING PROCEDURE
1. Move the PGS onto the spider/moonpool beams, orienting the guide posts with the
guide wires. Open the line traps on the guide post tops, insert guide wires, then
using a ¾" hex key, close and securely fasten the line trap cap screws at the post
top and install lock clips on lower line trap pins. Remove the split retaining plates (if
fitted) from the 30" housing receptacle and set aside.
2. Make up and run the conductor pipe string through the PGS, using slings or Vetco
Gray 30" casing elevators. Remove the protector from the Squnch Joint pin on the
last conductor joint, clean and lightly grease the pin.
If the operator determines that extra guidance is required for the conductor shoe to
enter the Temporary Guide Base (TGB) this can be easily accomplished by
welding half chain links to the conductor pipe, just above the shoe. After the shoe
is below the PGS, soft line can be fitted between the links and guide lines.
If the threaded 30" housing running tool will be used proceed as follows, otherwise
skip to Step 4 for the cam actuated running tool.
CAUTION:
Before running conductor, the operator should carefully consider all operational
steps to insure that hydrostatic collapse conditions will not occur.
1. If not already done, rotate the tool stem of the cam actuated running tool to the right
and push the rams back into the ram housing.
2. Position the running tool into the 30" wellhead housing and carefully turn the tool
by hand to the right until anti-rotation pins engage slots in the 30" housing. Rotate
the tool stem to the left, approximately 2-1/2 turns, by hand, using chain tongs.
This drives the rams outward and locks the running tool into the 30" wellhead
housing. Note the position of the word “Lock” on the tool stem. It should be
immediately above the indicator ring. Turn the tool stem back to the right, not more
than 1/8 turn. This is to break any “seize” of the threads between the tool stem and
ram housing.
3. Pick up the 30" housing joint, position over the intermediate joint in the rotary table,
then lower to make up Squnch Joint connection.
4. Pick up the string, cut off the landing pads, lower and land the 30" housing in the
PGS. Install the split retaining plates on the PGS to lock the 30" housing in place.
NOTE:
If a split/retrievable PGS is being used, it is absolutely necessary that the joints of the split
retaining plates are aligned with the joints of the PGS, otherwise the two halves of the
PGS won’t separate.
5. Lower and land the PGS-30" housing assembly on the TGB, using the heave
compensator.
6. Cement as required. When cementing operations are completed, adjust the heave
compensator to support slightly more than the combined weight of the running
string, running tool and cement stinger.
7. Rotate the running string to the right as noted below to release the running tool:
Left-Hand Threaded Tool - approximately 2-1/4 turns,
Cam Actuated Tool - approximately 2-1/2 turns.
When the running tool disengages or releases (as the case may be) from the 30"
wellhead housing, the compensator will stroke closed. Recover the running string,
running tool and cement stinger.
RECOMMENDED SPARES
EQUIPMENT
STEP 1 - Attach small diameter wire cable to outer barrel of slip joint. Pull it up
above the rotary table (Ref. attached sketch ‘B’ dimension) leaving enough
cable above the rotary to allow for high tide and rig heave. The end of this
cable gives you a fixed reference point to the wellhead. It will not change
with the tide or rig heave, only the rig will move. Tie the cable off under the
rotary for later use.
a) Plug type test tool for first BOP test. At this time it lands out on the
13-3/8" hanger profile inside the 18-3/4" housing.
c) Wear bushing running and retrieving tool to retrieve the 13-3/8" wear
bushing.
Just before landing the tool to be used; adjust the motion compensator
to support only 50% of the running string weight. Land the tool. The
drillpipe running string should be stationary, only the rig will move with
the heave.
STEP 3 - Untie the small wireline cable attached to the outer barrel. Pull it up by
hand above the rotary. Take up all the slack, then by using a straight edge
mark the drillpipe directly across from the end of the wire line or your
pre-established wireline reference mark. You now have a fixed reference
mark from the end of the cable to the landing point of the 13-3/8" or
subsequent casing hanger (Ref. attached sketch ‘A’) dimension. At this
time also measure from the end of the wireline or your pre-established
reference mark down to the point of attachment of your wireline on the
outer barrel.
STEP 4 - Pull out of hole with drillpipe and tool. Be sure to measure from your
reference mark on the drill pipe to the casing hanger landing point on the
tool used. Record this dimension as ‘A’ dimension on sketch.
STEP 5 - Run the casing hanger and packoff as described in the Operating Service
Procedure No. 240. Making sure to measure in the hole, from the landing
point of the hanger up the drillpipe until you reach ‘A’ dimension and mark
the drillpipe.
STEP 6 - Pull up the wire line attached to the outer barrel. Put a straight edge
across from the end of the wire line to the drillpipe. If the casing hangers
landed correctly, the mark you previously made on the drillpipe should line
up with the mark previously made on the reference wire, if so continue with
cementing operation.
STEP 7 - After cementing and circulation are completed and before energizing the
packoff seal assembly, to ensure the casing hanger has not moved during
cementing or circulation, pull up your wireline and recheck its reference
mark against the mark on the drillpipe.
EQUIPMENT
Retrievable Permanent Guide Structure provides the option of retrieving and reusing the
(RPGS) after drilling is completed. This is achieved by four collect type releasing assem-
blies. Each of the four collect assemblies is expanded into the gimbal by a spring-loaded
centre pin. Spring expansion wedges the collets tapered fingers against the gimbal base
holding it in place.
To release the permanent structure from the gimbal base a retrieving tool is run on drillpipe
which locks into the permanent structure latch ring. When the drillpipe is pulled upward, the
collet centre pins compress their springs, and the collet fingers collapse away from the
gimbal, releasing the permanent structure from the expendable gimbal.
This also fitted with four guide posts which are positioned for standard 6 feet radius guide-
line spacing and also includes a lower gimbal assembly which allows the RPGS to remain
level relative to the TGB.
Lands in the RPGS which supports the conductor string. The inside of the 30" housing co-
mes with a internal profile to accept a cam actuated running tool. Has profile for locking in
high pressure wellhead housing and ports for returns when cementing 20" to surface.
Fits either 24" or 30" wellhead housings. Has eight rams that engage a matching profile in
the wellhead housing. Two and one half turns of the tool stem to the left moves the stem
downward, forcing the rams radially outward. The words “Lock” and “Unlock” are stamped
into the stem to confirm the true condition of the tool. Removable plugs allow filling the
string or jetting the conductor into place.
The tool consists of a tool stem with an API 4-1/2" drillpipe box up and 4-1/2 “ pin down by 3"
ID. Fitted on the lower body are four spring loaded latch and lock dog assemblies.
SPECIFICATIONS
Metric equivalents used in Vetco Gray procedures are expressed in SI units as illustrated
below:
ROUTINE OPERATION
PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
Thoroughly clean and inspect the lock ring assembly. Clean and inspect the threads on the
latch ring. Inspect the releasing mechanism to insure it is completely assembled and in
proper working order.
Check that guide posts and cable latch assembly swing bolts are working freely.
Clean and inspect the inside of the Squnch Joint box on the bottom of the housing exten-
sion, inspect the O-ring and replace if damaged. Also inspect the running tool profiles and
threads on the ID of the conductor housing as the case may be. Lightly grease the inside
profile of the housing and the Squnch Joint connector.
Inspect the O-ring on the ram housing for any damage. Lightly grease this O-ring immedi-
ately before running.
Remove the safety-chained plug (1) on top of the ram housing exposing the grease fitting.
Pump general purpose grease through this fitting until grease extrudes out of the 1/4"
grease relieve check valve (2). Replace the plug and tighten.
In cold weather the increased viscosity of the grease may not allow proper inward move-
ment of the rams by hand, after the running tool has been lubricated as in Step 7. If this con-
dition exists, two of the ram guide pins (3) located at 180° on top of the ram housing may be
removed before attempting to push the rams back into the ram housing. Removing the
guide pins provides additional grease relief ports. make certain the milled slot (4) in the ram
is positioned upward before re-installed and tightening the ram guide pins.
Rotate the shaft to the left approximagely 2-1/2 turns to extend the rams fully. Then, rotate
the shaft to the right approximately 2-1/2 turns, and insure that the rams will move back into
the ram housing freely when lightly tapped using a wooden block and hammer. Tighten all
screws and plugs.
Make sure the spring loaded housing stop pins (5) move in and out freely.
Retrieving Tool
Thoroughly clean and inspect for any shipping damage, with particular attention to the tool
joint box and spring loaded dogs.
Verify each dog can be fully depressed and retruns to its original position. Lightly grease all
dogs immediately before running this tool.
NOTE
If one dog segment becomes damaged and unable to use, you must replace all
four dogs. This is because of the helical design.
RUNNING PROCEDURE
1. Move the RPGS on the spider/moonpool beams, orienting the guide posts with
the guide wires. open the line traps on the guide posts, insert guide wires, then
using a 3/4" hex key, close and securely fasten the line trap cap screws at the
post top and install lock clips on the lower line traps pins.
2. Make up and run the conductor pipe string through the RPGS, using slings or
Vetco Gray 30" casing elevators. Remove the protector from the Squnch Joint
pin on the last conductor joint, clean and lightly grease the pin.
3. If the operator determines that extra guidance is required for the conductor
shoe
to enter the Temporary Guide Base (TGB) this can be easily accomplished by
welding half chain links to the conductor pipe, just above the shoe. After the
shoe is below the PGS, soft line can be fitted between the links and guide
lines.
4. Make up and land the 30" housing joint onto the rotary table. At this point there
are two methods of which the operator could continue.
a) By use of a false rotary run the cementing stinger into the housing to
required length then makeup the 30" cam tool into the 30" housing and
continue to run.
b) Make up 30" cam tool into the housing, pick up and lower it into the
RPGS at the moonpool, release the tool pull back to rotary then run
required length of cementing stinger. Then makeup 30" tool into RPGS
and continue to run.
5. When the final makeup of 30" housing and 30" cam tool are completed, pick up
the running string and insure RPGS is properly latched onto the 30" housing. If
jetting with Dyna-drill all 30" bull plugs must be removed from the running tool.
Optional ball valves could be installed if the operator desired.
6. If the conductor string is fitting with a float shoe, one or more of the 3" bull
plugs on the running tool, must be removed to completely fill the conductor
string with seawater, then replaced at sea level before running the assembly.
7. The cam actuated running tool is also available, with a 1" check valve which
allows the conductor annulus to assume ambient pressure. This check valve is
not intended to fill the conductor string.
8. All cam actuated running tools have a 1/4" grease relief check valve. An arrow
on this valve MUST point toward the open end of the check valve. This check
valve allows excess grease to vent from the ram cavities and prevents
seawater from entering the ram mechanism which is isolated by O-rings
located on the rams and between the tool stem and ram housing.
9. Continue to run conductor pipe to sea bed as desired using ROV TV to monitor
the 30" conductor entering the TGB.
1. Lower and land the PGS-30" housing assembly on the TGB, using the heave
compensator. Cement as required. When cementing operations are
completed, adjust the heave compensator to support slightly more than the
combined weight of the running string, running tool and cement stinger. Rotate
the running string to the right as noted below to release the cam actuated
running tool withapproximately 2-1/2 turns.
2. When the running tool disengages or releases (as the case may be) from the
30" wellhead housing, the compensator will stroke closed. Recover the run-
ning string, running tool and cement stinger.
RETRIEVING RPGS
This procedure presumes the high pressure wellhead housing is in place and drilling has
been completed.
NOTE
If a corrosion cap has been installed over the high pressure wellhead housing it
will have to be removed before attempting to recover the PGSRC. Refer to Op-
eration and Service Procedure Number 25 for diverless corrosion caps.
Using a subsea TV camera, thoroughly inspect the area around the latch ring of the RPGS.
There must be no cement or cutting in this area as this would prevent the retrieving tool from
engaging the latch ring on the RPGS. If necessary, rig up a jetting tool and flush around the
RPGS latch assembly then re-inspect.
Make up the retrieving tool to a stand of drillpipe. With the tool suspended off the floor check
each spring loaded dog for freedom of movement inward and outward. Lightly grease the
dogs.
NOTE
A Utiltiy Guide Frame may be used to provide guidance of the retrieving tool over
the wellhead housing. Refer to Operating and Service Procedure number 11 for
detailed information.
By use of motion compensator, lower and carefully land the retrieving tool on the RPGS.
Latch assembly cam ring. When the retrieving tool lands the spring loaded dogs will be
pushed outward into mateing latch ring of the RPGS.
Mark the drill-pipe at the rotary and apply left hand rotation until torque in encountered. This
is to ensure the latch and lock threads are properly engaged.
Retrieve the RPGS by pinking up with the compensator. The upward movement of the re-
trieval tool will release the four collet connectors from the expendable gimbal.
If for some reason the RPGS will not come free and you wish to release the retrieval tool
from the RPGS, maintain 500 to 1,000 lbs overpull, rotatethe retrieval tool four turns to the
right and pull to tool surface.
NOTE
All retrieval operations should be closely mointored by use of a subsea TV cam-
era.
PRGS/Retrieving Tool
Thoroughly wash with freash water. It is suggested that a high pressure water jet cleaner
be used to properly clean the latch ring, collet and dog ring assemblies. Apply a corrosion
inhibitor to all surfaces and place in storage.
RECOMMENDED SPARES

components in the system to be tested.
Working and test pressures are described as the pressure which may be applied
against the sealed packoff assembly, wellhead housing and test tool and are not related
to the burst or collapse rating of casing.
ROUTINE OPERATIONS
PRE-OPERATIONAL CHECKS
Running Tool
Refer to operating and service procedures for packoff retrieving and reinstallation tools.
SG-5- Procedure No. OSP 23004
SG-1 - Procedure No. OSP 23002
Emergency Packoff
1. Thoroughly clean and inspect the packoff assembly. Verify that the packing nut is
free to rotate on the retaining ring.
2. Verify the button head socket screws which secure the lock ring in position are
tight. The lock ring should be fully expanded into the mating groove in the retaining
ring. If required, the expanded position of the lock ring can be checked by releasing
one screw, pushing the ring into the expanded position, and re-securing the screw
with Loctite. Repeat the procedure with the opposite screw.
3. Inspect the o-rings and replace if damaged.
4. Verify that the shear pins are intact, replace if damaged.
5. Lightly grease the threads in the packing nut.
RUNNING PROCEDURE
NOTE:
This procedure presumes that the packing nut and upper part of the standard packoff
has been retrieved.
1. Run in the hole with a mill and flush tool and carefully land on the casing hanger,
with the heave compensator adjusted to support all but 10,000 pounds (4536 Kg)
of running string weight.
2. Commence circulating and rotating to the right to mill up any remaining rubber
from the old packoff seal assembly and clean any other debris from between the
casing hanger and wellhead housing.
NOTE:
The emergency packoff retaining ring is shear pinned to the seal assembly to prevent
the seal from energizing prematurely while running in the hole. The weight of the packoff
retrieving and reinstallation tool by itself is not sufficient to shear these pins. However, if
the tool, with a stand of drillpipe is landed on the emergency packoff, this could shear the
pins.
13-5/8" SG-1 5
10. When torque starts to build up, continue to rotate the running string using rig or
power tongs as the following minimum torque should be applied to set the packoff
seal.
NOTE:
Prior to attempting a pressure test, both choke and kill lines should be pressure tested
against the closed valves on the BOP stack to verify that no leaks exist either in the
valves or lines
13. The packoff assembly may now be tested by closing the pipe rams, or annular
preventer, on the running string and applying test pressure through the choke or
kill line. An alternative packoff test is described in Step 17.
NOTE:
GE Drilling & Production recommends that the test pressure required is achieved in
increments of 1000 psi (70 bar), or less. Closely monitor the volume of fluid being
pumped through the choke or kill line to reduce the chances of collapsing or bursting the
casing string below the hanger in the event that the packoff assembly or running tool
o-rings are leaking.
14. Apply approximately 800 psi (55.16 bar) through the drill string to the packoff
retrieving and reinstallation tool to retract the torque keys.
POST-OPERATIONAL MAINTENANCE
Refer to the procedures for the packoff retrieving and reinstallation tools and test tools.
EQUIPMENT
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The VetcoGray plug type, wellhead/casing hanger test tools are designed to allow
periodic testing of the wellhead housing BOP stack seal and the casing hanger packoff
seal.
The nominal seat protector or wear bushings must be removed prior to running the test
tool. The test tool seals initially in the bottom of the wellhead housing and subsequently
on an internal seal surface of the casing hanger. Test tools are available with a variety of
drillpipe box connections top and either pin or box connections on the bottom, as
required by the customer.
SPECIFICATIONS
Metric equivalents used in GE Drilling & Production procedures are expressed in SI units as illustrated above.
Maximum test pressure of the tool is limited by the working pressure of the wellhead
housing in which the tool is used, except as noted below:
WARNING:
18-3/4" SG-5 TEST TOOLS MUST NOT BE USED IN 18-3/4" SG-5 XP WELLHEADS.
THE LANDING SHOULDER IN SG-5 XP AND SG-6 WELLHEADS IS 45O AND
THEREFORE REQUIRE COMPATIBLE TEST TOOLS. CHECK THE TEST TOOL
DRAWING TO BE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN.
The 18-3/4" plug test tool for SG-6 wellhead housings cannot be used in 18-3/4" SG-5
three hanger housings, because of the different landing surface angles in the bottom of
the wellhead housing.
Refer to drawing for dimensions.
ROUTINE OPERATION
PRE-OPERATIONAL CHECKS
1. Remove protectors. Clean and inspect the tool joints, seal surfaces and o-rings.
2. Inspect the o-rings, replace if necessary and lightly grease the OD of the tool. Dry
o-rings installed in dry grooves have less tendency to roll out of the groove than
lubricated o-rings installed in lubricated grooves.
RUNNING PROCEDURE

EQUIPMENT
SG Type Retrieving And Reinstallation Tool, Packoffs, And Emergency Seal Assembly
(See specifications for reference part numbers)
The VetcoGray SG Packoff Assembly is comprised of two main components; the drive
nut and the packoff. The assembly can be supplied as either torque set (Type T, LT, or
LTR) or Hydraulic Set-Rotate Lock (Type HR). The Torque set type uses the rotation of
the drive nut to energize the packoff the Hydraulic Set-Rotate Lock is energized with
mechanical force from the running tool and the drive nut is used to lock it in place. The
packoff assembly is typically run with the casing hanger and casing hanger running tool.
The casing hanger running tool supplies the actuating force to energize the packoff
sealing the annulus between the casing hanger and the subsea wellhead I.D..
The Emergency Seal Assembly was designed to be run in place of the standard wear
bushing when the packoff assembly fails. Threads on the lower O.D. profile engage the
casing hanger while elastomer seals are used to seal between the seal assembly and
casing hanger as well as the I.D. of the wellhead

ROUTINE OPERATION
PRE-OPERATIONAL CHECKS
CAUTION:
Take care to observe all safety rules pertaining to use of rig air.
3. Note the position of the center piston relative to the retainer ring in the main body of
the tool. It should be fully against the retainer ring.
4. Check the hydraulic function of the tool by attaching a pressure sub to the box end
of the tool and applying 800 psi (55 bar). Observe the torque keys as pressure is
applied and released for full smooth travel, approximately 2" (5 cm). Remove the
test sub. The center piston must return fully to its original position. If a test sub is
not available, at very least remove the plugs and visually verify that the hydraulic
system is full of oil.
CAUTION:
If this tool does not function as described, it must be stripped and rebuilt prior to
using. Refer to drawing 50330 for details.
To avoid pulling a wet string operators may wish to install a sub, fitted with a small
nozzle, immediately above the tool. Mud pumps can easily build up operating pressure
of 800 psi (55 bar) at the tool, even with fluid escaping through the nozzle.
RUNNING PROCEDURE
NOTE:
Care must be taken to avoid damage to the seal area of the packoff assembly during
handling, assembly and subsequent storage until the tool is run.
3. Set the new packoff assembly on the rig floor. Check the packoff for damage and
assure that the seal element rotates freely. This applies to Type T, SG-LT
and SG-LTR Packoff only. Type HR seal element is shear pinned to the
packing nut and cannot move. Pick up the retrieving and reinstallation tool. Align
the pins with the vertical slots in the packing nut and set it in the packoff assembly.
The weight of the tool will push the torque keys up. Rotate the tool to the right
engaging the pins in the J-slots until the torque keys drop into the vertical slots of
the packing nut. The tool is now locked to the packoff.
4. On running tools having a tool joint down, a stand of drill collars below the tool may
be used for weight and stabilization. Lower and carefully land the packoff
assembly on top of the casing hanger. Open the choke and kill lines when passing
thru the BOP.
CAUTION:
If 7" casing hanger is used, verify the drill collar O.D. will clear the I.D. of the 7"
casing hanger before making it up below the tool.
5. Place a reference mark on the floor and running string. With the heave
compensator supporting all but approximately 10,000 lbs. (4 500 kg) of the running
string weight, rotate the running string to the right slowly to engage the threads
between the packoff and casing hanger. Verify the landing position of the tool with
the measurements obtained when the casing hanger was landed.
6. Note and record the torque required to rotate the running string. This torque is the
result of drillpipe wall contact in the marine riser, flex joint angle or possible gumbo
in the wellhead housing and must be added to the torque from the following table to
assure a positive seal at the packoff. Approximately 12 to 13 turns will be required
to properly set and energize the packoff.
7. When torque starts to build up, continue to rotate the running string using rig or
power tongs until the minimum torque from the following table has been applied.
Make absolutely certain the extra torque required to turn the running string as
noted in step 11 is added to the minimum torque from this table. After desired
torque is reached, hold for approximately 30 seconds. Release the torque slowly.
Place a mark on the rotary table, then re-apply. If no additional make up is
observed, the packoff is ready to test. If additional make up occurs, re-apply
selected torque until no further make up is observed.
8. Circulate through choke and kill lines until good returns are observed. Prior to
attempting a pressure test, both choke and kill lines should be pressure tested
against the closed valves on the BOP stack to verify that no leaks exist either in the
valves, lines or manifold.
9. The packoff assembly may now be tested by closing the pipe rams, or annular
preventer, on the running string and applying test pressure through the choke or
kill line. GE Drilling & Production recommends that the test pressure required is
achieved in increments of 1,000 psi (70 bar), or less. Closely monitor the volume of
fluid being pumped through the choke or kill line in the event that the packoff
assembly or running tool O-Rings are leaking.
10. Upon successful test, bleed off the test pressure, open the preventer and re-apply
selected torque. Some additional make up may occur, which compensates for
deformation of the SG seal element and provides optimum seal integrity. Release
torque slowly.
10. Re-adjust the heave compensator to support running string weight. Apply 800 psi
(55 bar) through the running string to retract the torque keys. Then rotate to the left
until a slight torque build up is noted, approximately 1/8 turn. Release the torque
and pick up slowly to verify the retrieving and reinstallation tool is free. Bleed off
pressure, remove pressure sub and recover the running string and tool.
Run Emergency Seal
To avoid pulling a wet string, operators may elect to install a sub, fitted with a small
nozzle, immediately above the tool Mud pumps can easily build up pressure of 800 psi
(55 bar) at the tool , even with fluid escaping through the nozzle.
1. Run in the hole with a jetting tool and thoroughly flush the casing hanger and
wellhead. Spot gel to fill the wellhead and BOP stack then retrieve the jetting
string. Prolonged jetting in one position is not advisable.
2. Make up the retrieving and reinstallation tool to Hevi-Wate or drill collars. As
left-hand rotation is required to make up the emergency seal, it is advisable to use
NOTE:
On seal assemblies with bulk seal elements (e.g. P/N114401-1, 114402-1, 114403-1 and
114404-1), weight down will shear retainer pins allowing actuation of the seal as the seal
is made up to the hanger.
CAUTION:
Do not torque the emergency seal assembly beyond the effort required to make up
approximately four (4) turns. Applying excessive torque will make removal
extremely difficult. Emergency Seals using O-Rings achieve a seal on a radial face;
therefore higher torque values are not required. Emergency Seals using the bulk
rubber seal requires a maximum of 1000 ft-lbs (1 356 Nm).
5. Make a pick up test (after one turn to verify that the seal is making up to the hanger)
of approximately 20,000 lbs. (9 000 Kg) over running string weight to verify threads
of the emergency seal are properly engaged in the casing hanger threads.
6. Circulate through choke and kill lines until good returns are observed. Prior to
attempting a pressure test, both choke and kill lines should be pressure tested
against the closed valves on the BOP stack to verify that no leaks exist either in the
valves, lines or manifold.
7. Apply 800 psi (55 bar) through the running string, to retract the torque keys. Then
rotate the running string to the left until a slight torque buildup is noted,
approximately 1/8 turn. This will un-jay the pins on the running tool from the J-slots
in the emergency seal. Slack off torque and make a careful pickup test. If free,
recover the running string and tool.
8. The emergency seal may now be tested by either testing against the casing with
the blind rams closed or by using the correct size cup tester hung off in the pipe
OSP 23004, NC 7 OF 8 27 APRIL 2010
CAUTION:
The emergency seal must be retrieved prior to running the next casing string.

2 Technical Description
2.1 Running/Retrieving Tool
The Seat Protector/Wear Bushing Running and Retrieving Tool consists of a central tool stem body,
equipped with an enclosed hydraulic system. When pressure is applied down the running string, internal
pistons react against the tool body, rotate the torque ring and retract the lock ring. This permits the tool
to be either lifted out of seat protector or un-jayed and lifted out of wear bushing. The lock ring secures
the tool to all assemblies. Torque buttons transfer the torque required to jay a wear bushing into a packoff
assembly. Seat protector/wear bushing running and retrieving tools are also available with a through bore,
dart activated configuration. Refer to OSP 23006 for the through bore system.
3 Specifications
THE NOMINAL SEAT PROTECTOR OR WEAR BUSHING MUST USUALLY BE REMOVED PRIOR TO
MAKING PRESSURE TESTS WITH PLUG TYPE TEST TOOLS.
This tool is not intended to be operated deeper than 1600 ft. Doing so will cause the tool to
release prematurely.
• Refer to drawing for dimensions
Table 1: Specifications
4 Routine Operations
4.1 Pre-Operational Checks
4.1.1 Running/Retrieving Tool
1. Thoroughly clean the OD of the tool, using a wire brush. Examine the outer surface of
the tool noting any marks or grooves from previous use. This is recommended in case
resistance is encountered when running or retrieving the tool. Further examination for new
marks may be of value to determine the problem.
2. Verify that the lock ring is free to move by placing a set of chain tongs on the upper end of
the main body, and a bar in the slot (or hole) in the torque ring.
3. Pull the two together to rotate the torque ring to the left (counter clockwise). This scissor-like
pull will cause the torque ring to rotate on the tool, retracting the lock ring into the tool.
4. Remove the tongs and bar and verify that the lock ring expands fully.
5. Lightly lubricate the torque ring and the lock ring.
6. Visually check the position of the piston in the tool stem. It should be against the retaining
ring.
7. Attach a pressure sub to the tool, apply 800 psi (55 bar), and check for leaks. This pressure
should completely retract the lock ring into the body of the tool.
8. Release the pressure, remove the pressure sub, and recheck the position of the piston and
ensure that lock ring fully expands.
1. With the nominal seat protector on the rig floor, pick up the running tool and stab into the
seat protector.
2. Pick up the assembly to verify that the running tool lock ring fully engages the nominal
seat protector ID profile.
3. Make a stack up measurement of the running tool and the nominal seat protector (A).
4. Subtract the overall length of the running tool (B) from the stack up measurement (A).
5. Measurement (C) is the length of the nominal seat protector minus the swallow of the tool
and must be documented for usage in the following procedures.
6. Run the assembly in the hole and land the seat protector carefully on the closed blind rams.
7. Place a horizontal mark on the running string approximately 6 feet above the rotary table.
8. Pick up the running string, open the blind rams, and land the seat protector in the wellhead.
Slack off on the running string to ensure that the seat protector is fully landed.
9. Pressure up the running string to 800 psi (55 bar) to release the running tool from the seat
protector.
10. Pick up the running string sufficiently above the blind rams and close the blind rams.
If the mark is in the same position, repeat the above procedure until the seat
protector is released, then recover the running string and tool.
4.2.3 Running Wear Bushing
1. With the wear bushing on the rig floor, pick up the running tool and stab it into the wear
bushing.
2. Rotate the running tool to the left until the torque pins engage the J-slots in the wear bushing.
3. Pick up the assembly to verify that the running tool and wear bushing are locked together.
4. Apply a light coat of grease to the OD of the wear bushing.
5. Lower the wear bushing into the hole, with the motion compensator adjusted to support all
but 5,000 lbs (2 268 Kg) of the running string weight.
6. Land the wear bushing carefully on to the packoff and rotate the running string to the right
until a torque buildup is noted. This engages the wear bushing pins into the packing nut
J-slots and un-jays the running tool torque buttons from the wear bushing.
7. Slack off the torque.
8. To ensure the wear bushing is locked in, perform a pick up test of 10,000 lbs (4 5540 kgs)
over the string weight. Slack off weight.
9. Pressure up the running string to 800 psi (55 bar) to retract the lock ring.
10. Adjust the motion compensator to support 5,000 lbs (2 268 Kg) more than the running
string weight. If the tool is properly un-jayed from the wear bushing, the compensator will
stroke closed and the tool can be retrieved.
If there is no movement, bleed the pressure on the running string and reapply a
slight amount of right hand torque to ensure that the tool is properly un-jayed.
11. Slack off the torque and again apply pressure to retract the lock ring.
12. Recover the running string and tool.
If the running string takes weight, slack off and apply slightly more left-hand
torque. Excessive left-hand torque could release the packoff or break a
connection in the running string.
8. Retrieve the running string, tool, and wear bushing. Do not rotate the running string when
pulling out the hole. This allows accurate interpretation of any wear of the wear bushing.
3. When using this method of operation we are relying on the torque buttons to jay into the
wear bushing J-slots. This way of retaining the wear bushing with the tool is not fool proof,
and is not normally recommended.
Extra care must be taken during makeup or breakout of tool joints in order to prevent
wear bushing from un-jaying from the tool.
4. After the running or retrieving operation is accomplished, the locking pin must be pulled and
pinned in the right-hand-side hole marked “FOR STORAGE” on newer tools. The locking
pin must be pinned in the storage hole (right-hand-side) before storing the tool away to
prevent confusion later on.
5 Recommended Spares
Selection of actual quantities for spare parts should be determined by customer operating personnel. As a rule of
thumb we offer the following suggestions:
Rubber Goods Static Seals: 1 replacement
Internal Moving Seals: 2 replacements

2 Technical Description
2.1 Running Tool
The lock/unlock mechanism of the tool consists of a right hand threaded stem (non-rising) and a mating
cam sleeve. Five (5) turns of the stem to the left drives the cam sleeve downward approximately 2-1/2"
and forces the ram dogs outward to engage and lock into the matching profile inside the wellhead housing.
An indicator band on the OD of the stem aligns with the top edge of the cam sleeve when the tool is fully
unlocked. Right hand rotation (5 turns) of the stem reverses this process.
The cam tool is equipped with two (2) 2" bull plugs and two (2) 2" straight thread bleed plugs. When the
cam tool is assembled with the bootstrap tool, only the straight thread bleed plugs are accessible with an
extended length (60" long) Allen wrench (7/8" size) for filling the conductor string and bleeding the air at the
water line, rotary table, or cellar deck. Eighteen (18) turns of the bleed plug(s) are required to fully activate
the vent hole for the water filling process. The bleed plug(s) must be reinstalled and securely tightened
prior to running in of the assembly to full depth. Some tools have a ball valve assembly installed in place of
one or more bull plugs to facilitate venting the casing at the water line.
When this tool is used in conjunction with the Bootstrap Tool P/N H56034-22, refer to OSP 24005.
The universal cam tool can be configured for use with both standard and Fullbore 18-3/4" wellhead housings.
The tool has either an anti-rotation block or pin. For use with an MS style wellhead, the block
style must be used while the pin is used for SG style wellheads. When utilizing the tool in an
SG system, the anti-rotation pin must be installed in the upper position as shown on Figure 1:
Anti-Rotation Pin Installed in the Upper Position, page 6 .
Wellhead is 15,000 psi (1 034 bar) and has a high strength load ring installed in a recess in the wellhead that
allows for a full wellhead bore, but must be shifted into position prior to landing the first casing hanger.
A retractable wickered latch ring is installed on the OD of the housing and engages the mating ring on the
30"/36" housing.

4 Routine Operations
4.1 Pre-Operational Checks
4.1.1 18-3/4" Wellhead Housing
1. Inspect and replace, if required, the O-ring on the lower tapered OD of the housing. Lightly
grease the O-ring immediately before running the wellhead.
2. Inspect and install, if required, the latch ring ensuring the wickers are free of burrs and the
wickers are facing up. Confirm that the O-ring has been installed behind the latch ring.
Lightly wire brush the wickers just prior to running, removing any foreign debris. Rotate the
latch ring by hand to confirm that it is free to move.
Excessive grease pumped into the tool may cause problems with the tool function. If
the dogs DO NOT retract fully into the tool body, there is a possibility of too much
grease in the tool. If this occurs, remove one (1) dog and remove some of the
grease. While the dog is out, function the tool. Re-install the dog and function again
making sure all dogs retract.
3. On the standard 18-3/4" 15,000 psi (1 034 bar) wellhead, visually confirm that the insert load
ring, at the housing nominal seat diameter, has been pre-installed in the housing bore. On
the Fullbore wellhead, visually confirm that the drive ring cartridge, load shoulder, retaining
ring, and lock nut are installed in the wellhead. If the nominal seat protector is installed, only
the retaining ring and lock nut will be visible.
4. Verify installation of the nominal seat protector. For Fullbore wellheads, a nominal seat
protector may not be installed. Check per the customer’s drilling program.
4.1.2 Running Tool
When running the Fullbore wellhead housing with the NSP installed in the housing, the
conversion ring for Fullbore wellheads, P/N H280992-1, on the universal cam tool,
P/N H56018-2, must be in the position shown in Figure 7: Fullbore Housing with NSP
P/N H280992–1, page 11. When running the Fullbore wellhead housing with the NSP
removed from the housing, the conversion ring for Fullbore wellheads on the universal
cam tool must be in the position shown in Figure 8: Fullbore Housing without NSP
P/N H280992–1, page 12. To convert the universal cam tool to be used for Standard
MS-700 applications, install conversion ring for standard wellheads, P/N H281257-1, as
shown in Figure 9: For Standard Wellhead, page 12. Refer to Disassembly/Assembly
procedure for removal of the universal cam tool lower ring.
When running an SG style system, remove items 11, 12, and 32 (BOM H56018-1
or H56018-2) and use item 13 with P/N's 112022-5 and 195177-22 in the SG-5 pin
location. Refer to Figure 1: Anti-Rotation Pin Installed in the Upper Position, page 6 .
The universal cam tool with conversion ring for Fullbore wellheads, P/N H280992-1, will
not fit inside of a high pressure housing that has a connector latched on to it. It is only
designed to latch inside housings that have no H4 (or other) connector attached to them.
1. Ensure a new O-ring is installed on the OD of the cam tool immediately prior to running the
tool.
On completion of post operational maintenance the cam tool OD O-ring must be left
on the tool during storage and handling to prevent damage to the O-ring groove on
the tool.
2. With the stem in the fully unlocked position and the ram dogs pushed back into the tool body,
pump general purpose grease through the Alemite fitting until grease extrudes out the body
vent holes or 1/4" relief check valve, if installed dependant on tool revision. The bottom
fitting should be routinely used for grease injection to ensure proper and concentrated
application of grease around the bearing.
3. Rotate the stem to the left to extend the rams. Rotate the stem to the right approximately five
(5) turns to ensure the rams will move back into the body freely when lightly tapped, using
a wooden block and hammer. Reinstall the guide screws.
4. Check the spring loaded anti-rotation (housing stop) block on the cam tool to ensure that it
moves in and out freely and is fitted in the proper position for either SG or MS-700.
If the 20" or 22" casing string is fitted with a float shoe or float collar, the two (2) 2"
bleed plugs may be utilized to fill the casing string with water. Retighten the plugs
after usage. The cam tool may have a bull plug fitted with a check valve which
allows the 20" or 22" annulus to maintain ambient pressure by allowing seawater in.
THIS CHECK VALVE IS NOT INTENDED TO FILL THE CASING STRING.
5. Later revision tools have incorporated two (2) vent/wash ports located at 180° to each other
between the ram windows of the main body. The vent holes communicate with each other
through the annulus space above the bearing ring. Verify the vent holes are open. Grease
will extrude from the hole during tool lubrication. The check valve is not required for tool
with vented bodies.
After flushing and greasing, ensure that the two (2) drilled through NPT plugs are refitted.
These holes must not be completely plugged, otherwise the tool may not operate correctly.
Refer to the assembly drawing for the position of the flushing ports.
For tools which do not incorporate body vent ports, verify that the grease relief check valve
is installed correctly in the tool body. Remove, if required, ensuring that the arrow on the
valve is pointing toward the open end of the check valve.
6. Check and ensure that the pipe plug covering the lower grease fitting is properly torqued.
As the tool will release with the application of right hand rotation, it is important to ensure
that no right hand rotation is transmitted down the drillpipe during make up and running
of the string. Other factors which may lead to the release include tight and deviated hole
conditions, as well as not using the backup tongs correctly, not locking the rotary, and not
locking the blocks.
1. If not already done, rotate the shaft of the tool to the right (unlock) and push the dogs back into the
body of the tool.
2. Make up the running tool to the drillpipe running string.
3. Lower the running tool in to the 18-3/4" housing. Rotate the tool stem to the left approximately five (5)
turns until it stops (lock). Verify lock by visual indicator on stem. Do not force. Turn the tool stem back
to the right 1/8 turn or less.
4. Paint a visual indicator on the running tool and housing (on the camera side) to verify tool has not
backed out during running. Monitor the paint stripe while running.
5. Run the 18-3/4" housing and prior to landing in the 30"/36" housing, open the motion compensator
and adjust it to support the weight of the running string. After landing, take an overpull of 50,000 lb
(22,680 kg) to verify lock-down of the “C” ring to the 30"/36" housing. Verify lock-down with the ROV or
Rig camera. Release overpull. Cement as required. Prior to releasing the running tool, the wellhead
angle position to the sea floor should be reviewed.
6. With the compensator adjusted to support the weight of the landing string, rotate the running string to
the right approximately five (5) turns and pick up carefully on the running string. The dogs are free
to “cam” back into the housing of the running tool due to the tapers of dogs and the grooves in the
wellhead housing. If high right hand torque (above 10,000 ft-lb) is experienced during release of
the tool, weight should be set down to ensure that the anti-rotation key remains fully engaged
in the housing slot.
When retrieving the running string, do not hang off with the stinger in or near the
wellhead housing. Vessel motion could allow the stinger to damage the wellhead seal
areas.
7. Retrieve the running tool.

6 Disassembly/Assembly Procedures
6.1 Disassembly
The following disassembly and assembly instructions are for the conversion ring in the universal cam
tool, H56018-2.
1. Remove the six (6) 1/2" socket head cap screws (item 4) from the retainer ring (item 36), and remove
the retainer ring.
2. Remove the conversion ring (item 34 or 35).
3. Remove and inspect the O-ring (item 38). Replace if necessary.
6.2 Assembly
1. Determine which way the tool is to be set up.
2. Possible scenarios:
a. If the tool is going to be set up to run the Fullbore wellhead housing with the NSP installed in
the housing, refer to Figure 7: Fullbore Housing with NSP P/N H280992–1, page 11 or drawing
H56018-2.
b. If the tool is going to be set up to run the Fullbore wellhead housing with the NSP removed from
the housing, refer to Figure 8: Fullbore Housing without NSP P/N H280992–1, page 12 or drawing
H56018-2.
c. If the tool is going to be set up in the standard configuration, refer to Figure 9: For Standard
Wellhead, page 12 or drawing H56018-2.
The universal cam tool conversion ring will be a different ring than used with Fullbore
wellheads. Ensure that the proper conversion ring (item 34 on drawing H56018-2) is
used for reassembly.
3. Reverse Steps 3 through 1 of the disassembly procedure to reassemble the tool.
4. Torque the six (6) 1/2" socket head screws to 45 ft-lb.

2 Technical Description
The retrieval tool for diverless guide structures is designed to remotely retrieve several different guide structures,
including permanent guide bases and guidelineless re-entry assemblies (hereinafter referred to as PGBs and GRAs,
respectively). The tool will fit into, and over, most common combinations of wellhead and guide structure by utilizing
the tool’s various adjustments and adapter pieces. The tool will land into the guide structure, release its retaining
mechanism, and in the same motion lift the guide structure clear of the high pressure and 30" wellhead housings on its
way back to the surface. The tool has the capacity to land into position within/upon a guide structure even in those
cases where a corrosion cap is in place on the wellhead.
It is recommended that special caution be taken in this situation, however, since the design of many
caps may limit the ability of the guide structure to be retrieved with a cap in place. Though this
procedure pictorially depicts use with a GRA, this tool is designed specifically for use with only
those guide structures, PGB or GRA, which utilize the collet style retrieval mechanism.
3 Specifications
Refer to drawing for dimensions.
Recommended lubricants: Use Aqua-Lube or other non water soluble grease to coat upper and lower sliding
surfaces of the four latch dogs.
4 Routine Operations
4.1 Pre-Operational Checks
1. Verify and adjust inner guide plates to suit the type and status of wellhead present on ocean floor.
a. If the wellhead has a corrosion cap in place, remove the four guide plates entirely. See the caution
note in the Technical Tool Description section of this document.
b. If a 16-3/4” wellhead is present, adjust the four plates so that they are mounted in their innermost
position. Verify a dimension of 26.0” across any two opposing plates.
c. If a 18-3/4” wellhead is present, adjust the four plates so that they are mounted in their outermost
position. Verify a dimension of 27-1/4” across any two opposing plates.
2. Install or delete the external guide centralizer wings to suit the type of guide structure present on
the ocean floor.
a. If PGB is being retrieved, no guide centralizers are necessary.
b. If GRA for E size H-4 connectors is being retrieved, then install the four guide centralizers part
number H50042-7 on the tool. With the wings in place, this tool will not pass through a 49-1/2”
rotary table. Verify a dimension of 58-1/8“ across the outside surface of any two opposing guide
centralizer wings. A GRA for E size H-4 connectors has a 59” inner diameter main guidance cylinder.
c. If GRA for HD H-4 connectors is being retrieved, then install the four guide centralizer wings part
number H50042-6 on the tool. Verify a dimension of 70.0” across the outside surface of any two
opposing guide centralizer wings. A GRA for HD size H-4 connectors has a 71” inner diameter
main guidance cylinder.
3. Verify that the four latch dogs are lubricated and are free to move.
4. Clean and apply a light coat of grease to the outside surfaces of the latch ring at bottom of tool.
Apply minimum possible rotational speed to achieve a maximum 1/4 turn to engage
the stop pin. Do not exceed 3000 ft-lb during rotation. Excess torque during rotation
may cause the spring loaded dogs to jump the stop pin.
6. Lift upward on the string. During the first few inches of upward travel, the following events occur:
a. The collet mechanisms move upward against their springs until the springs are compressed to
their solid height. At this point the compressed collets transfer the upward force from the tool
to the frame, and lifting of the frame begins.
b. The upward motion of the collet mechanisms releases the housing support assembly(s) from the
GRA frame. As the frame travels upward, the housing support separates from the GRA frame and is
left behind at the mudline. In the case where a split housing support is used, the two halves separate
from the frame but remain loosely attached to the frame by chains. In the case of a gimbal, the
gimbal is left on the mudline in the same fashion as the one piece housing support just described.
c. After the frame clears the wellhead area, an exposed 30” housing and wellhead remain on the
mudline. The housing support (or gimbal) drops down around the 30” housing to mudline, where it
remains. Using a split housing support, no parts stay at mudline.
Figure 4: GRA Separating from Subsea Wellhead with Support Plate Remaining
Figure 5: GRA Separating From Subsea Wellhead with Split Support Plate
8. If difficulty occurs in attempting to retrieve the GRA of PGB, and the structure will not move when lifted:
Relax pull on the tool. Rotate 1/4 turn to the left. Again, there are rotation stops upon which the tool
dogs will contact. Pull upwards on the tool and it will withdraw from the latch ring. Recover the tool.

2 Technical Description
Squnch Joint Connectors are automatic lock, mechanical release connectors. They are pressure tight joints that do
not require rotation for make up. Their most common use is for quick connection of large diameter conductor and
casing in offshore drilling operations. There are two main types of Squnch Joint connectors.
Type ST-2 and ST-2 HP Squnch Joints are standard-duty connectors designed to be run into pre-drilled holes or
in conductor strings that are jetted in place. The ST-2 HP (High Performance) is available for applications where
enhanced strength is needed.
Type ALT-2 Squnch Joint is designed for medium to severe drilling conditions. It is a joint that when properly
maintained can be used on a continued well-to-well program and can be driven to refusal without damage.

4 Routine Operations
4.1 Pre-Operational Checks
1. Thoroughly clean the pin and box. Examine the O-rings and lockrings and replace any that are
damaged. Ensure that the lockring is free to move in the lockring groove. If some joints will be recovered
for reuse, run a tap into each releasing screw hole and blow out any debris with rig air. Then liberally
grease the threads in each releasing screw hole.
Lubricants containing metallic particles such as drillpipe thread dope must not be used on
these connectors.
2. Lightly grease the Squnch Joint pin profiles.
3. If the Squnch Joint pin is equipped with an anti-rotation key, ensure that the key is not damaged or loose.
2. Rotate the suspended joint until the anti-rotation slot of the box connector lines up with the anti-rotation
key on the pin connector. Lower the joint until the key enters the slot then slack off quickly to make up
the connection.
3. Verify that the lockring is fully engaged in the lockring groove on the box member. This can be visually
checked through the releasing screw holes on the box member, or by inserting a depth gauge into the
releasing screw holes. A short piece of welding rod correctly marked can be used as a depth gauge.
5 Recommended Spares
Selection of actual quantities for spare parts should be determined by customer operating personnel. As a rule of
thumb we offer the following suggestions:
Rubber Goods O-rings 2 replacement
General 1 replacement for any subassembly which if damaged or lost could cause a rig down
situation.
It is good practice to first make up the releasing screws opposite the gap in the lockring, and then make up
the other releasing screws from this point around to the gap. On connectors without an alignment key, the
gap in the lockring can usually be located by referencing the paint mark applied at make up or by inserting
a piece of welding rod into the releasing holes on the box.
6.1 Disassembly
To Release Connectors
The lockring can be depressed by screwing the releasing screws into the tapped holes provided. The
releasing screws must be long enough to depress the lockring before the screw threads bottom on the
connector. Run each releasing screw in until tight, then back off 1/2 turn. Pick up on the Squnch Joint box
to disconnect the joint.
6.2 Assembly
None required.
6.3 Testing
Some Squnch Joint boxes are equipped with a test port, and have O-ring seals above and below that port.
After make up, maximum test pressure of 500 psi (35 bar) may be applied to the test port. At the completion
of the pressure test, remove the pressure fitting and re-install the small pipe plug.
