3.2.2 Line up cement unit to 'A' Annulus. Kill the well by simultaneously pumping down the tubing and the annulus with brine ( with a determined gradient ).
The tubing volume to the perforations is 258 bbls and the annular volume is 384 bbls. Total volume is 642 bbls.
Monitor well for 2 hours to confirm well is dead, ie fully 'topped up' with zero pressure on the gauges.
3.2.3 Rig up wireline. RIH and pull WRSSSV and set big bore dummy. Test control and balance lines.
3.2.4 RIH and set 4" AF plug and prong in 4" AF nipple at 9677 ft ahbdf. Pressure test plug to 2500 psi ( based upon 9 5/8" leak off gradient with 515 pptf brine in
the hole). Ensure 'B' annulus is bled off and open during pressure testing. Record volume pumped. This will test :
4" plug,
Packer,
Hanger seals.
Bleed off pressure and inflow test plug, liner lap, packer and annulus for 2 hours.
If it not possible to set the plug, or to obtain a good test , run in and set a 4.313" AF plug and prong in the 4.313" AF nipple at 9606 ft ahbdf. Test the plug and prong
as above.
3.2.5 Check the integrity of the 7" tubing hanger GS seals and MTM seals by testing to 3,000 psi via the tubing spool test port. Record volume pumped.
Rig up chicksans, to 'A' annulus and pressure test in leak off mode to 1500 psi. Ensure 'B' annulus is bled off and open during test.
3.2.6 Install a 7" PES plug below the hanger. Pressure test the plug to 5000 psi from above and 1500 psi from below ( through tubing leak) via 'A' annulus. Record
volumes pumped. This will test:
4" plug,
Packer,
Hanger seals
7" plug.
3.2.6 Ensure the BOP is pressure tested on stub prior to nippling up.
4 Preparation
4.1 Ensure 'A' , 'B' and 'C' annuli are reading zero pressure and all wellhead/ hanger cavities are zero prior to nippling down Xmas tree. Nipple down and remove the
Xmas tree. Check the condition of the thread for pulling the hanger and tubing. If the thread is in poor condition a spear will be used
Ensure the balance and control lines are isolated, in order to prevent pressure bleed off during testing the BOP's.
Check the condition of the tie-down bolts, if in poor condition, change out tie down bolts one at a time.
4.2 At this stage the well barriers in place are:
'A' Annulus
Pressure testedpacke and plug to 1500 psi
Tubing hanger seals pressure tested to 3,000 psi from above and 1500 psi from below.
Brine bullheaded to the perforations, well flow checked.
Tubing
Deep set bridge plug pressure tested to 2500 psi and inflow tested.
PES bridge plug set below hanger pressure tested to 5000 psi from above and 1500 psi below through tubing leak.
Brine bullheaded to the perforations, well flow checked.
4.3 Install 13 5/8", 5,000 psi x 13 5/8", 10,000 psi adapter flange ( L191532), riser and 13-5/8" 5000 psi BOP with rams as follows (from top):
Annular
Variable bore rams (4 1/2" - 7")
Blind rams
Variable bore rams (2 7/8" - 5")
Note: Choke and kill lines below blind rams.
4.4 Install a chiksan line from one of the 'A' annulus outlets to a BOP side outlet ( to allow fluid to bypass the hanger when circulating or lowering /pulling the hanger

). Ensure that the chiksan line is tested when the BOP's are tested. Close wellhead valve as soon, as it is no longer required.
4.5 RIH with 5" drillpipe, test tool and crossover. Make up into the tubing hanger threads. If the hanger threads are corroded or are damaged, it will not be possible
to make up the crossover tool.
Test lower rams, chicksan loop and adapter flange connection (against closed valve) to 3000 psi. Remove test string. Test blind rams to 3000 psi against PES plug.
Monitor volumes pumped.
Run a drift through the BOP stack to ensure clear passage for pulling tubing hanger/seal assembly.
4.6 RIH and retrieve 7" PES plug.
4.7 RIH and retrieve 4" prong and plug body ( or 4.313" plug and prong ).
4.8 Observe well. If losses are obseved bullhead a viscous blocking pill, ie HEC polymer down the tubing. Observe well until stable.
5 Tubulars Removal
5.1 RIH 7" landing joint and engage with the hanger threads (chain tong tight), count the number of turns. Alternatively, depending on the condition of the hanger
threads, RIH with 7" casing spear and packoff. Back-out hanger tie-down bolts fully to permit pulling the hanger.
5.2 Unseat the tubing hanger and pick up tubing such that the ELTSR is clear of the extenda joint. Note on the DOR any overpull observed.
NOTE:The calculated weight of the existing completion string 200 klbs. DO NOT EXCEED 150 KLBS OVERPULL. If the string cannot be pulled free, inform the
Santa Fe Operations Engineer.
5.3 Pull and lay down the tubing. Observe closely for overpulls which may indicate the loss of control line clamps. Maintain tension on the control line while pulling to
give an indication of control line integrity.
Record the number of control line clamps recovered on the DOR. ( 146 clamps - 3 per joint - were recorded for the existing completion ).
Number all the joints sequentially with waterproof paint as they are pulled. Inspect visually and report tubing condition. Any joints with obvious defects should be
bundled separately and noted in the DOR .
Completion assemblies are to be bundled seperately
Monitor for LSA scale as per guidelines.
Ensure that an adequate number of protectors are on site.
The offshore well site engineer is to compile a report on the condition of the pulled tubular. Refer to appx 5 for the original tubing tally.
