SAFETY..Safe operating practices and procedures are vital in the drilling business because the work is hazardous, involving massive machinery, heavy tools and great physical strength. Yesterday Today
Squeezing Cement
A remedial cementing operation designed to force cement into leak paths in wellbore tubular. The required squeeze pressure is achieved by Formation carefully controlling pump pressure. Casing Squeezing is performed to: 1. repair poor primary cement jobs 2. isolate perforations 3. repair damaged casing or liner
Mud Slurry
Acidizing
The pumping of acid into the wellbore to remove near-well formation damage and other damaging substances. This procedure commonly enhances production by increasing the effective well radius. When performed at pressures above the pressure required to fracture the formation, the procedure is often referred to as acid fracturing.
Same as Cementing Job. Can be spotted in the well bore with no additional pressure required. Squeezing acids adds a whole new level of danger due to the risk from failure of equipment due to increased pressure. Also types of acid used can be very corrosive to the human body if contacted. Great degree of attention needs to be used in PPE selection
Wireline
Wireline - a cable conveyance technology where a current is sent to downhole tools in oil well exploration and completions.
Wireline
Many incidents were related to dropped tool strings resulting from pulling the tool string into the top sheave or stuffing box causing the wire to part and while laying tools down. When the dropped tool string is contained within the well bore/lubricator, there is little risk to personnel. However, when it is dropped prior to being inserted into the lubricator or well bore, there is the potential for serious or fatal injury to personnel. Significant underlying causes of the incidents were failures or inadequacies in: Risk Assessment Training and Competence Supervision Communication

Odd pipe sizes make it an unusual operation on a workover rig. Cutting and pulling casing can subject the rig structure to high hook loads. Special care needs to taken to ensure weight indicators are properly calibrated Workers should not be on the floor during excessive pulling operations.
Snubbing
The act of pushing drill pipe into the wellbore when the blowout preventers (BOPs) are closed and pressure is contained in the well. In ordinary operations, the pipe falls into the wellbore under its own weight, and no additional downward force or pushing is required. In snubbing operations, the pressure in the wellbore acting on the cross-sectional area of the tubular can exert sufficient force to overcome the weight of the drill string, so the string must be pushed (or "snubbed") back into the wellbore.
REMEMBER..
No job is so important
No service is so urgent
