1. WELL SUMMARY

1.1 QHSE and communication to well integrity

This drilling program reflects the contribution from multi-disciplinary teams of Sonatrach. It is design for
cost effective, well integrity and meeting the HSE standards and requirements.
Any change to this program during the well construction process shall be discussed and agreed by the
Sonatrach Project drilling team.

1.1 Action to be taken in completion phase :

Several actions should be taken by the drilling supervision team on the rig site during the completion phase,
in order to prepare a good rig, move and to prepare the rig for the next well, you will find some important
points as listed below:
 Prepare the list of the reserves with the contractor team and start to work on them during
completion phase until lifting all requirements by the beginning of the next well.
 Prepare the rig move plan and discuss it with the contractor team.
 Start the operation of putting a double metallic fence around the pits (Wet, dry and Water pits) in
order to protects animals from falling down, for instance Camels or cattle, install a metallic plate on
the fence with a mention in Arabic language: Danger (Toxic and moving sands).
 Place a metallic plate on the wellhead with a mention of the well name.
 Proceed to install a metallic protective cage around the Well head.
 At the entrance of the rig site install a metallic plate with a mention of DANGER in Arabic as well.
You will find below some illustrating photos on how fencing pits and protecting well heads

WOEN-5 TP220 Drilling Program Page 4

1.2 QHSE Objectives
The goal is to carry out all operations with no accidents, no harm to people and no damage to the
environment.
All works are to be carried out in compliance with all the relevant statutory requirements, Sonatrach HSE
Policies and Standards.
The major objectives of the well:
 Zero LTI, No Accident, No Incident
 To reduce all emissions and discharges to the environment.
 Full compliance with Sonatrach waste management procedures.
 Procedures and Bridging Documents will be implemented for accident and HSE Observations (to
raise awareness of potential dangers).
 To help minimizing incidents and to allow statistical analysis of HSE performance.
 Drill and complete well as per the well objectives in safe and efficient manner.
 Safety shall be the overriding factor in matters relating to drilling operations, especially where
onsite decisions are taken on operational activities.

1.3 Well Integrity

The integrity of the well must shows:

 Quality Cement Bond for all required casings and Liners
 Zonal isolation between all aquifers, reservoirs, sub zones, and units
 Well accessibility for future well intervention
 Good quality of data acquisition (coring, logging and testing)

* Don’t forget to retrieve wear bushing before each BOP test.

* Variable rams and pipe rams should be changed before start new section when necessary.
* Use tester plug in 8 1/2" hole section to test BOP @ 10K psi, if troubles with tester plug we used tester cup
* In case, of using the cup tester do not exceed 60% of the internal yield strength of the last casing.

Please refer and follow up SH standard procedures for FIT and SBT operation
The pressure test values are subject to change based on the actual MW in hole and casing shoe
depth, actual surface pressures should be calculated using actual well conditions.

WOEN-5 TP220 Drilling Program Page 13

 Procedure: Increase pressure slowly to target surface pressure. If pressure starts to decline before
the target pressure is reached, then stop pumping and record the bleed off pressure.
A short trip should be conducted after FIT for hole conditioning

be checked.
10. Have the primary drill bit ready with proper nozzles.
11. Make sure a center jet is installed in the bit. A backup bit should be on location if available.
12. Make sure mud has sufficient surfactant to minimize bit and stabilizer balling.
13. Have a top wiper plug available for 18 5/8" casing for contingency if stinger job cannot be performed.
14. Inspect 30" and 18 5/8" casing to ensure sufficient length to case to the planned section depth.
15. IPN beams to centralize the 30" & 18"5/8 casing must be on location. Ensure they are of sufficient
length to span across the cellar.
16. Inspect casing head and associated equipment. Ensure all components are available to Nipple up the
13 5/8" BOP stack for next section.
17. Measure the height of the 20 ¾" 3Kx18”5/8 CHH and the two casing spools to be used on the well.
These measurements will be needed to determine the height at which to do the final cut on the 18 5/8"
casing.

Well objectives and any anticipated drilling problems.

Stress the importance to respect the security regulations. The Sonatrach Drilling Supervisor has final
authority regarding the security of rig personnel and equipment.
Stress the importance of Sonatrach HSE guidelines.
Emphasize this is an development well and that well control precautions shall be taken into consideration
such as recording of slow pump rates on each tour, using a trip tank to fill the hole on trips, check drill
breaks in reservoir interval, maintain enough kill mud on location…. etc.
32. Review 26" hole well program section & SH/ Procedures before spud.
33. Lash down 42" conductor pipe to prevent falling down while drilling.

5.3 36" OH x 30" Conductor pipe [ 00m – 85m]

5.3.1. Section Objective

To set 30" casing and cement with good bond across the unconsolidated formations near to
the surface to 85m, and secure plate form to give a good structural support for the 26" drilling
operations.
5.3.2. Risk Assessment
The surface formation is unconsolidated and unstable and may tend to cave in during
drilling operations. It is important that mud properties and mud equipment are in good
shape before spud in the well.
Loss of returns is possible if the drill rate is too high such that EMW gets too high. Mud
weight out should be maintained at 1.07sg or lower. If total loss of returns is experienced,
the pipe should be pulled from the hole to prevent sticking.
Important risk for Bit Balling, need to make sure that:
- The bit has a center jet installed
- The PH in the mud is in the right range (10 – 12).
- Optimize the hydraulic while drilling, use high flow rate 3000 lpm minimum.
- Optimize the drilling parameters, high RPM and light WOB
- Preventive use of Drilling Surfactant.
5.3.3. Preparation to drill
1. Prepare a minimum of 450m3 bentonite spud mud.
2. Solids control equipment has to be run at all times – shakers, de-sander, and de-silter.
3. Have material to sweep the hole with Hi-Vis pills and LCM.
4. Mud pump swabs, liners (6 ½") and valve seats should be inspected and make sure they
are in good/new condition to start a new well.
5. Have the primary drill bit ready.
6. Check that the required materials for drilling fluids are available as per the drilling fluids
program.

5.3.6. Detail Procedure

5.3.6.1. Drilling
1. Mud return during circulation & cementing will be to the cellar and transfer to the waste pit
by cellar jet.
Because of the slow ROP experienced in the offset well due to bit balling when drilling
through shale formation it’s wise to start drilling in 26" hole until the sand appears +/- 40m,
then hole opening to 36".
2. Make-up 26" slick BHA and RIH washing down inside conductor pipe and drill out cement if
encountered.
3. Start to drill 26" hole with slight drilling parameter and limited flow rate to 1800/2000lpm to
avoid washing out the weak formation around the conductor pipe. At +/-40m POOH, L/D 26"
bit and M/U 36" BHA as per BHA table below and resume drilling

WOEN-5 TP220 Drilling Program Page 24

 Drilling Parameters
Interval Flow WOB RPM
(m) (lpm) (t)
0 – 20 500 1 60 - 80
20 – 85 1500 – 2000 1–5 60 - 100
4. Mud weight in should be maintained at 1.05 sg and mud weight out should not exceed 1.07sg.
If these values are exceeded, then drilling should be stopped to circulate until mud weight is
back under control. (eject mud if necessary)
5. If partial losses occur, attempt to cure with LCM pill. If total losses, POOH immediately filling
up back side with mud &stand back the BHA.
6. Analysis has shown that tripping in and out the hole faster than 3 minutes per stand can
create excessive swab and surge pressures. Since bit balling is also a potential issue in this
section (increased swab/surge effect) it is important to take the necessary time to make
connections so the hole remains stable.
7. At casing point: sweep hole and circulate well clean, POOH for wiper trip, work interval as
required.
8. Run back to bottom with change the position of stabilizers (l/down shock tool), circulate hole
clean spot heavy viscous pill to aid in wellbore stability while running 30" conductor.
9. L/D string stabilizer.
10.Cut the 42" conductor pipe close to the base of cellar.

5.3.6.2. Running and Cementing Casing

1. Rig up to run 30" casing.
2. If 30" elevator is not available so proceed as follow;
Install IPN beams across rotary table, be certain that IPN beams are of sufficient length to
safely span the rotary table diameter (empty space) and hold the full weight of the 30"
casing.
Weld ears on to the side of the casing joints. Ears should be dimension of 200mm by
200mm square and 20mm thick with a 40mm diameter hole in the center.
Secure lift cables through the ear holes & lift the 1st 30" joint (with stab-in shoe already
welded on) via this cable.
Lower casing joint until the ears are resting on the IPN (Rotary table).
Release the cable from the lift ears.
Pick up the next joint of casing with lift cables. Align this joint of casing over the joint
which is hanging and connect via slip-on connection.
Pick up the string of 30" now hanging over the wellbore and cutoff the lower set of ears
which were resting on the IPN (rotary table).
Repeat this process until the 30" casing is at desired setting depth.
3. Install IPN beams across cellar. Be certain that IPN beams are of sufficient length to safely span
the cellar diameter and hold the full weight of the 30" casing.
4. Set the casing on the IPN
5. Secure casing to prevent pumping out of hole while cementing.
6. Make-up and run in hole with centralized stinger. Establish circulation above stab-in shoe.
7. Stab into shoe and slack-off. Establish circulation up 30" x 36" annulus. Check that there is no
flow on inside of 30" casing.
8. Rig up cementing lines and test to 1000 psi.
9. Be prepared to mix and pump 100% open hole excess cement slurry. (Reference cement
program.) Pump cement until cement returns observed at surface or all cement has been
pumped.
10. Sting out from shoe and confirm float holds. Pump with fresh water to clean out stinger.

 11. Pull out of hole
5.3.6.3. Wellhead Installation
12. Remove IPN beams.
13. Make final cut on 30" casing to allow for bell nipple rig-up
14. No BOPs will be used on the 26" hole section.
15. Clean up casing OD and cellar.

5.4 Surface Section – 26" Hole x 18"5/8 Casing [85m to 542m]

5.4.1 Section Objectives

Primary objectives are to isolate the weak surface formations and provide a good casing shoe for drilling the
long 16" section. The 18 5/8" surface casing should be set approximately +40 m below the top of the Senonian
Anhydritic.
Maintain a vertical hole < 1º inclination.

5.4.2 Risks / Potential Problems

High risk of loss returns in Eocene and Senonian Carbonate formations if the ROP is too high such that EMW
gets too high. Mud weight out should be maintained at 1.08 sg or lower. If total loss of returns is experienced,
the pipe should be pulled from the hole to prevent sticking.
Recommendation:
In case of partial losses < 20 m3/hrs; Pump 20 m3 LCM.
In case of partial losses > 20 m3/hrs or Total losses; pull out immediately with filling the annulus
minimum twice the steel volume of DP. Set cement plug(s)

5.4.3 Preparation to Drill

1. Solids control equipment has to be run at all times – shakers, de-sander, and de-silter.
2. Have material to sweep the hole with Hi-Vis pills.
3. Make sure mud has pH 10-12 and sufficient surfactants. Evidence of excessive balling and wellbore
stability issues above pH 12.
4. Bit should have center jet installed.
5. Ensure all required materials and equipment are on location. BHA components should be tallied for
length; OD, ID, and fishing neck (if applicable). The gauge on all stabilizers for this hole section should
be checked.
6. Have the primary drill bit ready with proper nozzles installed. A backup bit should be on location.
7. Cementing company should have a tank on site to pump required volume of cement, displacement fluid.
8. Make sure the stinger is on site, “O” rings are in good condition, and spare parts are available on site.
9. Have a top wiper plug available for 18 5/8" casing for contingency if stinger job cannot be performed.
10. Inspect 18 5/8" casing to ensure sufficient length to case to the planned section depth.
11. Inspect casing head and associated equipment. Ensure all components are available to NU 20 ¾" BOP
stack for drilling the 16" section.
12. Measure the height of the 20 ¾" 3K Casing Head Housing and the two casing spools to be used on the
well. These measurements will be needed to determine the height at which to do the final cut on the
18 5/8" casing.
13. All stabilizers should be spiral providing 270º coverage.

5.5.1 Section Objectives

Primary objective is to cover the lower pressure formations before penetrating the higher pressure Lias
formations. The 13 3/8" casing should be set approximately +/-40m below inside the Lias Anhydritic formation.

5.5.2 Risk Assessment

This section normally requires back reaming out of hole and reaming back down on trips. The Senonian
Salifere, Turonian, and Cenomanian formations present tight hole problems in the shallow portion of
the hole section and the Malm, Neocomien and Barremian can cause pipe sticking in the deeper
section. Care should be exercised on all trips out to limit over pull and begin back reaming with tight
hole conditions. After reaching casing point, pull out to surface, check bit and stabilizers.
Pipe sticking across the salt sections can often be solved by spotting sufficient fresh water to cover the
salt section. Stuck pipe can also be freed by spotting 15% HCL across the stuck interval. Acid spotting
is also acceptable across the Turonian where fresh water should not be used.
Hole may become sticky in the Malm and Dogger formations. It may be necessary to increase mud
weight.
Loss circulation is considered as a risk for this section especially when it comes to dolomites and
limestone of Aptian. The risk is present while drilling and cementing.
Albian is a water bearing formation which contains pore pressure of up to 1.16sg. Drilling 16" hole
section requires mud weight of up to overcome the wellbore stability issues.

5.5.3 Preparation to Drill

1. Oil base mud should be on location and ready for change out into the system.
2. It is preferred that the mud should have a yield point on the higher side of the programmed range
of 16-24 lb/100ft2
3. Ensure all materials and equipment required is on location. BHA components should be tallied for
length; OD, ID, and fishing neck (if applicable).
4. Stabilizers used in this hole section should have 100% wrap with 270° degrees of coverage. The
gauge on all stabilizers for this hole section should be checked. Tolerance is 1/16" under gauge.
5. A near bit stabilizer should be sized with bit to minimize the distance from the back of the gauge of
the bit to the edge of the stabilizer blade. It is preferable for this distance to be about 26" distance
or as close to this as possible. Older stabilizers with shorter top body are preferable.
6. Mud tanks to be properly cleaned to receive OBM. Centrifuges to be operational, mud bucket
operational on rig floor.
7. Have primary drill bit ready with proper nozzles installed. Backup bit should be on location.
8. Ensure BHA will have a float valve and TOTCO ring.
9. Bit runner should be on location and monitor all the drilling parameters.
10. It is important that consistent drilling parameters (WOB, RPM, Flow rate) be used with little variation
to avoid hole spiraling and get maximum bit performance. The driller should be on the brake at all-
time monitoring these parameters.
11. When tripping out, use trip tank to fill the hole according to Sonatrach guidelines. Compare actual
fill volume to theoretical and alert drilling supervisor if actual fill is less or more than theoretical.
Back reaming parameters: (1-5T, 50-70 tr/min, 1200 lpm / 3000 – 7000 lbs.ft), depending of
formation, example: Turonian (1-2T, 50-70 tr/min, 1200lpm / 4000 - 7000 lbs.ft)
12. Inspect 13 3/8" casing to ensure sufficient length to case to the planned section depth.
13. Inspect casing head and associated equipment to ensure all components are available to NU 13 5/8"
BOP stack for drilling the 12 ¼" section. A drilling spool adaptor will be required from 13 5/8" 5K to
13 5/8" 10K.
14. Cementing company should have a tank on site to pump required volume of cement, displacement
fluid.

5.5.6 Detail Procedure

5.5.6.1 Drilling

1. Hold safety meeting.

2. Make up 16" bit and packed hole BHA per program and run in hole.
3. Run the last stand with washing to tag cement inside the casing to avoid bit plug.
4. Displace water based mud by 1.30sg OBM to start as follows:
Rotate and reciprocate drill pipe during displacement
Do not shut off pumps until OBM returns are at surface (d(in)=d(out)=1.30sg)
Take slow pump rates and pump efficiency
5. Drill out cement, shoe and the first meters at reduced parameters until all the stabilizers are out of
the casing.
6. Drill ahead, Flow rate needs to be high 2800lpm. Ensure mud weight is increased to 1.30sg with a
yield point of 20-24 lb/100ft2 before penetrating the Senonien Salifere formation.
7. Stop Drilling at 20m above the Aptian formation and circulate hole clean
8. Do not exceed maximum flow rate of 2200 lpm through the Aptian.
9. Drill the lower part of the Albian and the Aptian with reduce flow rate +/- 2200lpm and controlled
drilling parameters until top of barremianis confirmed by rig site geologiste.
If partial losses occur, pump total 10 m3 LCM plug and displace it at balance (See Appendix)
and resume drill to 20m below the formation losses.
If total losses, POOH immediately and Run Open End Drill Pipe to set cement plug.
10. Continue drilling to Malm formation; slow down the RPM where the presences of hard stringers will
premature damage the bit if high RPM’s are utilized. Using offset well data, try to predict the onset
of these hard stringers and slow the rotary to below 80 RPM prior to their penetration.
11. If tight hole experienced while making connection, ream each connection twice.
12. Follow up the shakers for cavings inform SV at the time.
13. At casing point, pump Hi-Vis pill, circulate hole clean and ensure OBM is in good condition for logging.
14. Drop Totco & POOH; perform flow check at casing shoe. (Expect tight hole problems in Senonien
Salifere, Turonian and Cenomanien. Pull the string slowly checking tight spots (overpull and torque)
do not over pull more than 3 tons. In case of tight hole, ream down and work intervals.
15. If stuck pipe experienced in Senonien Salifere formation, pump 8m3 of Fresh Water pill isolated with
two diesel spacers of 2m3 each, while trying to move up and down the BHA. (See Appendix)
16. Rig up wireline loggers and run logs as directed (include deviation log to record inclination and
azimuth). Rig down wireline loggers.
17. RIH for wiper trip if hole condition dictates
18. Pump Hi-vis pill & Circulate to condition mud and POOH with break out 16" STB.
19. Retrieve the wear bushing before start running 13 3/8" casing.
20. The 12 ¼" section mud should be prepared while 16" hole is being drilled.

5.5.6.2 Running and Cementing Casing

1. Read SH/FOR drilling practices related to casing and cementing

2. Prepare the 13 3/8" (68#, N80, BTC) casing while drilling the 16" section (Drift, install centralizers
as per cement program and screw the float shoe on the first joint with tube-lock).
3. Hold pre job meeting with people involved.
4. Rig up casing running tools to run 13 3/8" casing.
5. Make up float shoe, 2 joints of casing 68#, N80, BTC, and float collar. Tube-lock the first three
joints.
6. Check the floats.
7. RIH with 13 3/8" casing 68#, N80, BTC with filling up continuously with fill up tool and confirm the
fill up every 10 joints.

WOEN-5 TP220 Drilling Program Page 37

 8. At casing shoe, change side door elevator to spider elevator. Circulate for 15min.
9. Wash at least last two joints or as per hole conditions dictate.
10. Verify the final space out (ensure that the casing coupling is not in the wellhead).
11. Be sure that last joint is correctly drifted (ID & OD) to ensure right set on hanger.
12. R/U cement head & lines. Ensure both rig & cement pumps can be utilized without breaking lines.
Test cement lines to 4000 psi.
13. Circulate and condition hole with rig pumps. Reduce Yield Point and Gels per instructions from
mud engineer. Take pump efficiency while circulating.
14. Pump spacer, slurry, and displacement according to cement program. Displace with rig pumps
and slow pump rate prior to bumping plugs. Do not over displace cement more than ½ of shoe
track volume.
15. Switch to cement unit and pressure test casing to 3000 psi for 10 minutes. Bleed off pressure and
check for back flow.
16. R/D cementing equipment.
Notes:
The pumps are inspected prior the job and found free of washouts or foreign materials.
The efficiency of both pumps is determined by pumping known volumes of fluid prior to the job.
Only one pump is used at a time during cement displacement to minimize potential errors during
the job.
All cementing lines must be tested.
If losses are recorded while drilling, running Casing or before cement job, automatically add
fibers to lead slurry as preventive action to reduce losses.

5.5.6.3 Wellhead installation

1. L/D annular BOP 20 ¾" 3K+ mud cross + spacer

2. Hang the 13 ⅜" Casing in the CHH as cemented. Cut and dress at required length.
3. Install casing spool 20” ¾ . 3K x 13” ⅝ . 5K
4. Test the spool to 60 % CSG collapse pressure (~1350 psi) through test port.
5. Nipple up 13 ⅝" 10K BOP with adapter spool between BOP and casing spool.
6. Make up and run tester cup. Pressure test BOP as per SH test program.
7. Ensure that casing Head valves are open during BOP tests.
8. After finishing BOP pressure test install wear bushing.

5.6.1 Section Objectives

The objectives of this section is to isolate all the high pressurized zones (Lias Horizon B, Lias Salifere) and
provide a strong casing shoe to allow safe drilling of 8 ½" section. The 9 ⅝" casing must be set +/-3m max
inside the Trias argileux (G30) formation at 3697m. Final 9 5/8” casing point will be defined by the
geologist on site.

5.6.2 Risks / Potential Problems

The Lias section includes the abnormally pressured Horizon “B” aquifer of saturated saltwater. Mud
weight of 2.25sg is planned to contain the HB aquifer and to control the salt intervals. Contaminated
mud should be isolated in a separate tank for treatment or be back loaded to the liquid mud plant to be
treated. Hole conditions should be monitored to determine whether additional mud weight is required
to control swelling formations.
The 9 5/8” casing point is critical, it cannot be set deeper than 3m inside Lias Argileux; otherwise heavy
losses will be experienced into the Triassic formation due to the high MW required in the Lias Salt. It is
important to drill and case this phase as quickly as possible to not allow for salt and shale zones time to
flow or swell which could cause re-drilling of the phase.

5.6.3 Preparation to Drill

1. OBM should be prepared tested before displacing.

2. Maintain a minimum of 200 tons of Barite on site.
3. Choose the optimum size for bit nozzles to provide good hydraulics for high MW.
4. A preventive maintenance of TDS, DW and mud pumps should be done while interphase.
5. Make all personnel aware about the potential risks of kick & losses.
6. Liners (6") and valve seats should be inspected to make sure they are in good or new condition to
start a new section.
7. Inspect 9 ⅝" casing to ensure sufficient length to case to planned section depth.
8. Ensure all materials and equipment required are on location. BHA components should be tallied for
length; OD, ID, and fishing neck (if applicable).
9. Stabilizers used in this hole section should have 100% wrap with 270 degrees of coverage. The
gauge on all stabilizers for this hole section should be checked. Tolerance is 1/16" under gauge.

WOEN-5 TP220 Drilling Program Page 41

 10. A near bit stabilizer should be sized with bit to minimize the distance from the back of the gauge
of the bit to the edge of the stabilizer blade. It is preferable for this distance to be about 22"
distance or as close to this as possible.
11. Have primary drill bit ready with proper nozzles installed. Backup bit should be on location.
12. Inspect casing spool and associated equipment. Ensure all components are available to hang off 9
⅝" casing and to nipple up BOP stack for drilling the 8 ½" section.
13. Ensure that the casing spool 13 ⅝" 5K x 11"10K and the adapter DSA 11" 10K x 13 ⅝" 10K are
available in the rig, these will be installed after running 9 ⅝" casing.

5.7.3 Preparation to Drill

1. Conduct a “pre-section” meeting onsite before start drilling to focus on the main concern on this
particular section.
2. Check and test all well control equipment, certificates, test equipment as per SH procedures before
drilling this section.
3. Perform BOP drill for 02 ENTP crew as per SH procedure & repeat same as required.
4. Oil base mud should be prepared at the last section.
5. Ensure minimum of 200 tonnes of Barite on location.
6. Inspect 7" casing to ensure sufficient length to case to the planned section depth.
7. Make all personnel aware about the potential risks of stuck pipe, kick & losses, especially mud-logging
crew.
8. Ensure all materials and equipment required is on location. BHA components should be tallied for
length; OD, ID, and fishing neck (if applicable).
9. Stabilizers used in this hole section should have 100% wrap with 270 degrees of coverage. The gauge
on all stabilizers for this hole section should be checked. Tolerance is 1/16” undergauge.
10. A near bit stabilizer should be sized with bit to minimize the distance from the back of the gauge of
the bit to the edge of the stabilizer blade. It is preferable for this distance to be about 12” distance or
as close to this as possible.
11. Have primary drill bit ready with proper nozzles installed. Backup bit should be on location.
12. Ensure BHA will have a float valve and a TOTCO ring installed.
13. Verify quantities and types of LCM on rig. Need to have large size materials available.
14. Cementing company should have a tank on site to pump required volume of cement, displacement
fluid.

5.7.6 Detail Procedures
5.7.6.1 Drilling

1. Review and respect SH standard drilling practices & procedures.

2. Hold safety meeting.
3. Make up 8 ½" bit and packed BHA.
4. Break circulation after picking up BHA to ensure string is clean.
5. Continue run in hole and tag cement. Record actual top of cement.
6. Displace remaining 2.25sg OBM with 1.55sg OBM and drill out cement, Take slow pump rates
and pump efficiency.
7. Test column to 3500psi if bump plug wasn’t recorded.
8. Perform kick drill with circulation through chock manifold before drill out shoe track for two
crew.
9. Drill out shoe track and cement with reduced parameters, then continue drilling using full
parameters when stabilizers out of casing.
10. Volumes should be closely monitored for signs of losses or kicks.
11. If any troubles are observed when start drilling after few meters below 9 5/8” casing shoe
(abnormal torque, drag, stuck pipe issue), then POOH to casing shoe, contact drilling
superintendent to evaluate the situation prior to resume drilling.
12. It’s important to watch the volume and shape of cuttings coming over the shakers (report them
to the base for orders) because this can be an early alert for hole problems, other key
indicators include excessive torque and stick-slips while drilling and high drag pulling out of
the hole. Mud weight, rheology may need to be adjusted.
13. Drill ahead to casing point at 4017m expected 50m in Silurian , if caving start appearing over

 6. APPENDIX

6.1 STUCK PIPE PREVENTION (Hole Cleaning Recommendations)

6.1.1 Drilling:
 Maintain sufficient mud weight to stabilize the wellbore: Observe the shakers every 30 minutes for
caving:
 If caving are observed, take a picture of the caving volume on the shaker screen. Collect several of the
largest pieces of caving. Clean and photograph the caving on a white background (with a ruler). Email the
pictures to the Drilling Superintendent and Drilling Engineer
 Report the caving event to the Mud loggers for recording onto the Real-Time Drilling Screen at the
time observed. Record the caving event (not cuttings) on the DDR. Report the amount, size and shape of the
caving.
 If approved by HMD, increase the MW to stabilize the wellbore. Continue observing the shakers for
changes in caving volume. If possible, addition increases in MW may be required if caving are still returning.

 Maintain minimum fluid loss (3cc/30-min or less).

Use a liquid fluid loss additive to stabilize the shale, Gillsonite, lignite or G-Seal for OBM; Proposal for WBM.

6.1.2 Connections:
 Prepare the drill crew and equipment to minimize non-circulating time on connections.
 Move the drill string slow and smoothly to minimize wellbore pressure surges.
 Maintain drilling SPM/RPM rates and slowly back ream (5min/stand) to the last connection depth.
Slowly ream (3min/stand) the stand back to bottom.
 If caving are present, ream the hole 2 to 3-timesto circulate the caving away from the top of the BHA.
 Pump a Hi-Density Sweep if hole cleaning problems are observed (caving on shaker. erratic torque and
drag, erratic pump pressure, hole trying to pack-off).
 After pulling off the slips, increase rotation first and then slowly increase circulation to break the gels
and minimize wellbore pressure surge.

6.1.3 Circulating the Hole Clean: (Hole Cleaning Recommendations)

 Circulate at maximum pump rate limited by the Equivalent Circulating Density (ECD). Rotate at +/-60 RPM
and reciprocate the drill string slow and smoothly to improve hole cleaning.
 Pump Hi-Density sweeps to ensure the hole is clean.
 Circulate a minimum of 1.5 to 2 times bottoms-up strokes.
 Continue circulating until the shakers are clean and the sweeps are returning empty of cuttings and
cavings. Depending on hole problems and hole angle, several bottoms-up circulations may be required.

6.1.4 POOH:
 The Drilling Supervisor shall develop a Trip-Out Procedure to provide the Driller with written instructions
on:
 Pipe pulling speeds relative to stand count (bit depth);
 The initial over-pull limit (8 to 10 tons for example);
 The stand count and MD of tight spots observed on previous trips;
 The stand count and MD of the casing shoe;
 Any other tripping issues.
 The Drilling Supervisor shall be on the floor for the first 10-stands and remain on the floor until all tripping
issues are resolved.
 The Driller shall follow the schedule for pipe pulling speeds relative to stand count. If the initial overpul

WOEN-5 TP220 Drilling Program Page 54

 limit is reached, perform a 30-min circulation test. Do not attempt to pull through the tight spot without
HMD approval.
 Run-in 1 to 2-stands. Circulate and rotate for 30 to 40-minutes.
 Slowly pull out on the elevators observing for the depth of overpul.
 If the tight spot is at the same depth, the problem is wellbore geometry.
- Back ream through the tight spot at drilling circulating rate.
- Circulate the hole clean before continuing the trip.
 If the tight spot has moved up-hole, the problem is hole cleaning.
- Run-in 1 to 2-stands; repeat the Hole Cleaning Recommendations and
circulate the hole clean before continuing the trip.

6.1.5 RIH:
 The Drilling Supervisor shall develop a Trip-In Procedure to provide the Driller with written
instructions on:

 Pipe running speeds relative to stand count (bit depth);

 The initial Set-Down limit (¼ of the available Over-Pull Limit);
 The stand count when the bit reaches the casing shoe;
 The stand count and MD of tight spots observed on the trip-out and on previous trips;
 Any other tripping issues.

 The Drilling Supervisor shall be on the floor for the last 5-stands to bottom and remain on the floor
until the next operation has started and all issues are resolved.
 The Driller shall follow the schedule for pipe running speeds relative to stand count. Maximum pipe
running speed shall not exceed 1-min/stand.
 If the initial set-down limit is reached, Do Not attempt to push through the tight spot without HMD
approval.

 Pull back 1-stand and make-up the top drive or Kelly.

 Ream/back ream through the tight spot at drilling circulating rate.
 Circulate the hole clean from the bottom of the tight spot using the Hole Cleaning
Recommendations before continuing the trip.
6.2 QHSE:
Safety shall be the overriding factor in matters relating to drilling operations especially where
onsite decisions are taken on operational activities

6.2.1 QHSE Objective:

The objective is to comply with the safety and environmental standards of Sonatrach and to
achieve the following objectives:
 No environmental spills and minimum environmental impact.
 No serious, major or catastrophic service quality incidents.
 Daily QHSE events reporting.
 Project QHSE forward plan to cover all the QHSE issues and Remedial Work Plan (RWP) to
improve the QHSE level.
 PTW, Permit to Work System for non-routine activities.
 Ensure Job Safety Analysis (JSA) or pre job safety operational meetings will be held with all
personnel involved in the next operation in order to clearly identify safety risks and precautions.
 Clearly address the importance of stepping, handling and lifting.
 Perform and record a weekly STOP tour with all leaders of the companies on locations.
 The STOP cards will be used as the risk reporting tool.
 HARC (Hazard Analysis and Risk Control) for any operation on the rig site where it is not clear
how the risk will be mitigated.

WOEN-5 TP220 Drilling Program Page 55

  Muster areas should be clearly identified in the location and communicated to all personnel.
 Kick drill – weekly, or more frequent as decided by Drilling Supervisor. The kick will be recorded
on daily operation report.
 Trip drills – on trips, or more frequent as decided by the Drilling Supervisor.
 BOP test – Will be performed as per Sonatrach BOP Testing Standard Procedures. Must be
reported along with the duration in the daily drilling report.
 Fire Drill – monthly.
6.2.2 Environmental:
 Daily cleaning of location and living camp.
 Proper disposal of any waste.
 Segregation of the waste (Plastic, Metallic...).
 At the end of the wells, the disposal areas have to be properly closed.
 Ensure human waste pits are built as per standards & cleaned/closed after completion of the
well.
 Do not put wastes in the cellar.
 Before leaving the location, install an identification sign on the wellhead and to the location
entrance. Make sure the location is properly cleaned as per Sonatrach procedure.

6.2.3 People and Material:

 Any safety area has to be properly signed and indicated.
 Clean the drill floor as many times as required.
 All personnel entering the location must have all required PPE.
 Hold daily safety and tool box meetings prior to special operations.
 Verify personnel certifications and perform periodic inspections of equipment and products.
 Rig induction has to be done for all new arrival and rig visitors.

6.3 Standard Procedures and Contingencies:

6.3.1 Well Control:
6.3.1.1 General Guidelines:
1. Proper tripping procedures are critical and should be enforced at all times:
a. The Driller shall ensure a full opening safety valve (FOSV) is available on the rig floor in
the open position. Crossovers will be available such that the safety valve can be made
up to all tubular connections that are in the hole.
b. Tripping speeds should be controlled in critical sections of well.
c. Trip sheets will be filled out by the driller before each trip with calculated volumes.
During the trip the driller will record the actual volumes and compare actual hole fill
volumes with calculated volumes.
d. Any variations of hole fill volumes should be reported immediately to Drilling
Supervisor.
e. Any change in the drilling parameters, such as rate of penetration, gas levels, mud
properties, cuttings, etc. must be brought to the attention of the Drilling Supervisor who
will decide on the necessary precautions or action.
f. Slow Circulating Rates (SCR)
g. Always take the slow circulating rate pressures from the gauge from which you will kill
the well. In most cases that will be the gauge on the remote choke panel.
h. SCR will be taken every shift and when there is a change in mud weight or BHA.
i. Update active kill sheet with new SCR.
2. Maintenance and inspection of Well Control Equipment

WOEN-5 TP220 Drilling Program Page 56

 1) Visual inspection of accumulator will be made by the Driller every shift to confirm
proper line up of valves and pressures.
2) Visual inspection of BOP stack will be made by the Driller every shift to confirm BOPs are
clean and in good repair, all hydraulic lines are secured and leak free, and all manual
wellhead valves are in the proper position. The cellar should be pumped out whenever
possible.
3) Visual inspection of manifold should be made by the Driller every shift to confirm proper
line up of valves for Hard-Shut in.
4) Pressure Gauge Synchronization (Stand Pipe, Driller’s Console, Choke Manifold, Remote
Choke, and Mud Logger). Each shift the Driller should confirm that all critical pressure
gauges are operating and reading correctly. Any gage that is in error should be reported
to the Drilling Supervisor and taken out of service until repaired.
3. Pit Management / Pit Level
a. No operation that may affect mud pit levels should be commenced, without the full
knowledge of the Driller, the Mud Engineer, the Derrick man and the Mud Loggers.
Maintain proper communication.
b. The Driller will be expected to react to any unexplained pit gain by immediately closing
in the well.
c. Changes to the active mud system should only be made after the Driller has given his
approval. The mud loggers should be informed before and after any changes. The Driller
and the mud loggers should be informed before any processing pumps are switched on
or off
d. The Mud Engineer should always be present at the shakers to monitor bottoms up after
trips, flow checks etc.
e. During drilling operations, Pit Volume Totalizer (PVT) sensors must be operational for all
pits in the active system including the sand traps.
f. The PVT levels that trigger the alarm will be determined by the Senior Drilling Supervisor
and Tool pusher. The alarm threshold of the PVT sensors must be correctly adjusted by
the Driller. The PVT sensors must also be monitored at all times by the mud loggers.
g. During drilling, if the PVT sensors indicate increased pit volume, it must be assumed that
this indicates a kick and the appropriate actions must be taken.
h. Additions should not be made to the mud system following a trip until bottoms up has
been circulated.

6.3.1.2 Shut-in Procedure:

1. Key Points:
1. The “Hard Shut-in Method” has been selected as the method of shutting in on a flowing well.
2. The initial shut-in will always be on the annular preventer.
3. The drill string will be positioned to NOT have a tool joint in the pipe rams.
4. The shut in procedures will be clearly posted on the drill floor and all crews will be briefed and
trained in their application.
2. Shut-In Procedure While Drilling
 Observe or suspect well is flowing.
 Stop rotary and pick up off bottom with the pumps running. Space out drill string to ensure pipe
rams can be closed if required.
 Stop pumps.
 Close the annular.
 Record pressures at the BOP, choke, and standpipe at ½ minute intervals.
 Inform the Drilling Supervisor and Tool pusher.

WOEN-5 TP220 Drilling Program Page 57

 3. Shut-In Procedure While Tripping
 Observe or suspect well is flowing.
 Set the string in slips. Stab the FOSV (Full Opening Safety Valve) in open position & M/U.
 Close the FOSV and pick up to the predetermined space out height.
 Close the Annular
 Reset the slips and make up the top drive.
 Confirm the top drive IBOP’s are open and then open the FOSV. Pull the slips.
 Record pressures at the BOP, choke, and standpipe at ½ minute intervals
 Inform the Drilling Supervisor and Tool pusher.
4. Shut in Procedure with No Drill String in the Hole
 Open choke line HCR valve(s)
 Close the blind-shear rams
 Record pressures at the BOP, choke, and standpipe at ½ minute intervals
 Notify Tool pusher and Drilling Supervisor.
Once the well has been shut-in, preparations can be made to run a kill string into the well. Stripping
the drill string using the annular preventer needs to be evaluated as a function of the pressure
underneath the shear rams. This may require a snubbing unit installation.
5. Shut-in with Wire line in Hole / Pipe
 A well kick may occur with wire line either in the hole or inside the drill string.
 At all times when wire line is run inside the drill string a FOSV shall be installed.
 If the pressure rating of the wire line lubricator permits, pull the wire line into the logging
pressure control equipment and close FOSV. If well pressures become too high the wire line
should be cut and dropped inside the drill string before the FOSV is closed.
 Mechanical cutters shall be on the drill floor at any time wire line is being run.
 If the well begins to flow while open hole logging, mechanically cut the cable and close the shear
rams

1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 Note that shear rams will not cut and subsequently seal pipe with wire line inside.
6. Drill Pipe Float Valve Pump-Off Test / (Plugged Ported Float)
 Line up the mud pumps to the drill pipe.
 Pump in small increments, 50 – 100 psi into the drill string. Run pumps as slow as possible
(bump the pumps) to open float flapper valve.
 Record DP and CSG pressure, if the CSG pressure does not increase, the float is still closed and
Shut-in-Drill pipe Pressure (SIDPP) is less than the underbalance in the drill string.
 When CSG pressure is seen to rise, pumping should be stopped immediately - the float has
opened.
 Record SIDPP, this now reflects the amount of underbalance in the string. This is the value to be
used when calculating Kill Weight Mud.

6.3.2 Shoe Bond Tests (SBT) and Formation Integrity Tests (FIT):

1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.2 Preparation:
 Check and evaluate hole conditions.
 Perform cementing unit function test.
 Ensure that stack is lined up properly so that minimum number of valves is exposed to the system.
 Ensure mud system homogenization (MWin = MWout). Report this value in daily drilling report.

1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.3 Operational Sequence:

1. Drill out shoe and drill 3-5m of new formation.

WOEN-5 TP220 Drilling Program Page 58

 2. Circulate bottoms up to have confirmation of new formation, check shakers for clean hole.
3. Pull bit into casing. Disconnect top drive and rig up test lines. Pick up and position pipe so that
there is no tool joint in rams.
4. Pressure test lines to ensure there are no leaks. Bleed off pressure. Close upper pipe rams. Ensure
that stack is lined up properly so that minimum amount of valves is exposed to system pressure.

Note 1: For reference purposes, look at casing pressure test volume/pressure plot in order to be
able to easier identify deflection from plastic behavior.
Note 2: Station 1 person at BOP to watch for leaks during the test (check with Co-Man) Station 2
person at suction tank to record volume per time (backup to flow sensor) Station 3 person at pressure
gauge to record pressure versus time (backup to pressure sensor)
5. Begin pumping at slow constant rate of 0.5 bbl/min (0.25 if is possible) Record time, volume, and
pressure during pressure up at each 0.5 bbl increment, both electronically through cement unit
sensors and manually with people stationed at tanks and pressure gauges. Communication
between flow monitor and pressure monitor should be maintained so that pressure readings are
taken at 0.5 bbl increments. Keep a constant flow rate.
6. Continue pumping until reach the SBT or FIT equivalent density (Perform calculations according to
the MW in hole). Monitor pressure during shoe bond test, at first sign of leak off during SBT or FIT.
Stop the test and report leak off value to the office.
7. Synchronize time to zero at pumps down. Once pumps have stopped, hold pressure for 10 minutes,
or until pressure stabilizes (whichever comes first), recording surface pressure.
8. Bleed pressure with ¼ of the choke and flow through cement equipment at constant rate. Person
stationed at return tank shall record flow back with time.
9. After pressure drops below half of the estimated closure pressure open the choke 100%.
10. Bleed off pressure back to cement unit tanks. Open valves to rig choke manifold to ensure no
pressure is trapped in annulus before opening pipe rams.
11. Disconnect cement unit.
12. Connect top drive. Move the bit below the shoe.

6.3.3 Stuck Pipe:

If circulation and rotation are possible, make every effort to maintain. The best chance to free pipe
usually occurs immediately after sticking. The first action may determine whether the pipe ever
becomes free.

1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.4 Pipe Becomes Stuck While Picking Up and Bit is Off-Bottom

1. Jar down!
2. Prepare 10m3 heavy pill and pump while working pipe.
3. If pipe becomes free, back ream the tight section. Be careful to apply very low back reaming
force (1-3 tons).

1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.5 Pipe Becomes Stuck While Running in Hole or Bit is On Bottom

1. Pull maximum 25 tons overpul and jar up.
2. Prepare 10m3 heavy pill and pump while working pipe.
3. If pipe becomes free, ream down the tight section.
If pipe does not free with initial actions, contact the Drilling Superintendent regarding maximum
surface loads which may be applied to drill string and to begin preparation for placement of spotting
acid pills or other spotting fluids.

WOEN-5 TP220 Drilling Program Page 59

6.3.4 Drilling Mud Losses

1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.6 Partial Losses

1. Reduce pump rate, keep hole full, and pull off bottom.
2. Pump and spot pill as follows.

 3 kg/m3 VG-69

1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.7 Total Losses

1. Pull the drill string into casing and attempt to regain circulation. If returns cannot be regained,
then POOH and stand back BHA.
2. RIH with open-ended drill pipe to TD. Be sure to circulate last 2-3 joints to bottom even though
there are no returns to surface.
3. Pump 25 m3 of cement slurry and displace as a balanced plug in drill pipe and hole annulus.
4. POOH and WOC to gel.
5. Attempt to fill hole.
a. If hole will stay full, RIH with drilling BHA and drill out cement. If full returns are
sustained after drilling to TD, then continue drilling ahead. If full returns are lost again,
then repeat steps 2-5.
b. If hole does not stay full:
c. RIH with open ended drill pipe to TD being sure to circulate beginning above theoretical
cement top. Repeat steps 3-5.
d. If drill pipe will not run to TD with circulation, then a decision must be made whether
to drill out cement before placement of the next cement plug.

6.3.5 Pumping Procedure for Acid Pill:

 Place the pumping units and the trucks, ensuring safe exit routes.
 Perform the pre-job safety meeting with all personnel on location:
 Explain risks related to the operation.
 Explain the roles in the operation.
 Rig up all equipment.
 Pressure test lines to 5,000 psi for 15 min.
 Pump 2m3 spacer of similar density to drilling mud. It should be compatible with both drilling mud
and the acid.
WOEN-5 TP220 Drilling Program Page 60
  Pump 2m3 corrosion inhibitor
 Pump specified volume (see below) of HCl acid at 15% with corrosion inhibitor.
 Pump 1 m3 of tail spacer.
 Displace acid pill and stage as per specified procedure (below).
 Leave the pill in the open hole to actuate for 2 hours (after initial spotting) or until pipe is free.
 Circulate the fluids with high flow rate (reduce the flow rate when the pill is at surface because the
reaction produced by the formation might produce carbonic gas).

1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.8 Safety Note

 Request the MSDS (Materiel Safety Data Sheet) of the products to be used.
 Prepare a safety perimeter around the operational area.
 PPE utilization is mandatory.
 Limit personnel movement around the working areas.

1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.9 Acid Volume and Displacement

When the drill string is stuck at the bit with rotation, pump acid pills in 5m3 batches and displace
until 1m3 is displaced past the bit. Then slowly displace the acid in 500 liter volumes every 15 minutes.
When drill string is stuck with no rotation possible, pump acid in 10m3 batches and displace until
the acid covers the entire BHA. Then slowly displace the acid in 500 liter volumes every 15 minutes.
The acid (or other spotting fluid) should be close to the same density as the drilling mud. A spacer of similar
density should be pumped between acid and drilling mud which is compatible with both.
