Operations Manual

1. Tool Introduction
The Security DBS Latch-Les Wireline Coring System is an integrated package consisting of
a Security DBS Heavy Duty Outer Barrel assembly combined with a wireline retrievable inner
core barrel. Another wireline system is also available in a 6 size as a LLTTS (Latch-Les Triple
Tube System).
The Security DBS Latch-Les Wireline Coring System is designed to operate through
conventional oilfield drill strings (21/4 minimum drift).
The Wireline unit is not part of the Latch-Les kit. The Drilling contractor supplies the
Wireline Unit with associated equipment to rig up the wireline on the drill floor.
The comprehensive Latch-Les kit is intended to cover about of 1000 ft of coring. A
summarized listing is as follows:

Outer Barrel Assemblies.

Inner Tube Assemblies + spares and consumable.

Handling tools for on site work with the Latch-Les system.

API drift for the drill string.

Core recovery and layout equipment including a pump assembly.

Wireline rope sockets to suit the rig wireline unit, sinker bars and overshot for the
inner core barrel assembly.

Coreheads must be ordered separately. They are not part of a Latch-Les kit.

Operations Manual

4.2 Running in Hole

4.2.1

To reach the bottom of the hole, several thousand feet of drill pipe may have to be
connected. Ensure that there are no restrictions in the string to stop the passage of the
inner assembly. Drift all components vertically with the 21/4 drift.

4.2.2

Wash down a minimum of 20 minutes to bottom. Circulate at a high flow rate to

ensure the core barrel is free of fill.

4.3 Dropping the Inner Assembly

4.3.1

Wash down a minimum of 20 minutes to bottom. Circulate at a high flow rate to

ensure the core barrel is free of fill.

4.3.2

Break the drill pipe connection.

4.3.3

Pull the inner assembly out of the aluminium scabbard using the slip plate and lower
it into the drill pipe until the slip plate rests on the drill pipe connection.

4.3.4

Drop the Inner Assembly from surface by removing the slip plate. Time for the Inner
Assembly to reach the bottom depends on mud characteristics and depth. To be on a
safe side, count about 20 minutes per 3000 ft (915m). During drop time, pumps must
be off.

4.3.5

Check if the Inner Assembly is landed; pump 300 gpm (1360 l/min) and record the
SPP. The pressure difference with/without the Inner Assembly landed should be the
same as the pressure difference recorded during surface test. If there is no pressure
difference, immediately stop the pumps and wait a few minutes. Then, check again.

4.3.6

When Inner Assembly is in place, start coring.

4.4 Dropping the Inner Assembly

4.4.1

Rotate the coring assembly at 60-70 rpm with the pumps on at the desired circulating
rate. Lower the core barrel to bottom. Apply a starting WOB of less than 5000 lb
(2270 kg). Maintain these parameters until the core bit has cut the matching profile
on bottom.

WARNING: Maximum flow rate = 350 GPM (1600 l/min)

4.4.2

When the profile is cut, increase the WOB by increments while observing the rotary
torque response. Maintain a low rotary speed of less than 70 rpm until 1 to 3 (0.3 to
0.9 m) of core have been cut.

4.4.3

Once the initial 1 to 3 (0.3 to 0.9 m) of core has been cut, adjust WOB and rpm to
achieve optimum ROP.

Latch-Les 4 x 1.713

4.5 Jamming Indication

In addition to a clear pressure indication of the inner assembly position, the hydraulics
configuration of the Latch-Les provides a powerful jamming indicator. Upon jamming, the inner
tube assembly is slightly lifted upwards which creates a restriction to the flow area in the head /
landing ring assembly (see Figure 4.1).
The pressure increase when jamming is around 500 psi (at 300 gpm - 9 ppg) (35 bar at
1360 l/min - 1080 kg/m) which is very easily observed at surface. This pressure increase may be
smaller and may disappear quickly if jamming resolves. If the pressure increase is permanent,
the inner assembly must be POH immediately to ensure no core is lost and recovery rates are
maintained at maximum levels.

4.6.7

Hoist the aluminium scabbard and lower it on the catwalk.

4.7 Core Recovery

4.7.1

Pull out the inner assembly out of the aluminium scabbard.

Note: Handle the inner assembly carefully when pulling out of the aluminium scabbard, hold the
inner assembly at each extremity and at the middle connection.

4.7.2

Place the inner assembly on the jacks (see Figure 4.2).

Note: Place the jacks correctly to avoid flexion of the inner assembly.

4.7.3

Remove the spear head assembly. Use Inner Tube Wrench.

4.7.4

5. Drill Plug Assembly

The Drill Plug Assembly is an alternative inner assembly which can be used with the LatchLes Wireline Coring System (see Appendix III). The Drill Plug Assembly converts the corehead
into a drill bit by the use of a specially designed center plug run at the end of the inner assembly.
The main differences between the Drill Plug Assembly and the Coring Inner Assembly are:

1. The Drill Plug Assembly is latched in place.

2. The swivel is positioned right above the drill plug.
3. Thicker inner tubes are used to strengthen the inner assembly.

Whereas the coring Inner Assembly is dropped from

surface, the Drill Plug Assembly must be lowered in
hole using the wireline and the overshot assembly!

6. Troubleshooting Guide

The inner assembly is stuck and cannot be retrieved with the wireline:
A.

Retrieve the Overshot Assembly. To do so:

1. Fit the locking sleeve on the wireline and drop it.
2. Slack the wireline to ensure the overshot rests on the spear head.
3. Pull out the overshot assembly.

B.

P.O.H.

The core is stuck in the inner tube:

1. Use pump valve to transmit hydraulic shocks on the pump out plunger.
2. Use a rubber hammer to knock on the inner tubes.
3. If it is not sufficient, break the inner tube middle connection and use second pump out
bean (standard - lower tube) to fit the pump unit.
