Canrig Portable Torque Guide - Mast Application

Pre Rig-Up
Before beginning to rig up the Top Drive unit, several steps should be taken to ensure that
the operation goes as safely as possible.
1. Perform a thorough inventory of equipment on site. Make sure that all equipment needed
for the rig-up is present and is in good condition. Check lifting assembly for damage and any
lifting cables or lifting/snubbing cables for general damage or broken wires.
2. Conduct a safety meeting before beginning to rig up. Review this procedure with rig and
company personnel. Confirm that all personnel involved understand the operation, their
positions during rig-up and their duties during rig-up.
3. Assign personnel to act as observers to watch for interference in the mast as the Torque
Guide is being lifted up through it. The minimum recommended spotters are:

One person should be stationed ODS on the drill floor.


One person should be stationed DS on the drill floor.
One person should be stationed on the ground to watch the Torque Guide as it unfolds from the
bed truck.
One person should be in the crown to watch the Torque Guide as it reaches the crown and to
guide the harpoon into the Torque Guide pocket.
One additional person may be required at the monkey board in tight mast applications.
Personnel not involved in the rig-up should not be on the drill floor during the rig-up.

Top Drive and Torque Guide Installation

Mast Preparation
Drawing Number: M-7-108-01 (A)
1. With the mast in the down position (preferably), remove the diving board hinged section from
the racking board. Alternately, adjust the board forward.
2. Remove the hook and install the block adapter bail or interface.
3. Clamp the Torque Reaction Beam to girt #1 on the mast. Refer to the Torque Reaction Beam
Assembly drawing in Subsection 6A of this Manual. The beam should be positioned so that it is
centered about well center. All fasteners must be properly torqued (see Capscrew Torque
Values in Subsection 4D of this Manual. The Torque Guide clamp plates should not be installed
at this time.
4. Install the Crown Hanger Plates and Harpoon Assembly at the
crown. Refer to the Crown Hanger Assembly drawing in
Subsection 6A in Volume 2. Attach one end of each safety sling
to the Hanger Plates. The free ends of the slings will be pinned to
the Torque Guide once it is latched to the Harpoon. Ensure that
all safety pins and keeper bolts are securely in place and check
that the Harpoon is installed with the correct orientation. The
sloped side of the Harpoon should be facing towards the
drawworks.
5. Install the bridle line equalizer (see View A A) or insert equalizer
directly into block becket.
6. Raise the mast (and drawworks) if applicable.

Canrig Portable Torque Guide - Mast Application

Grasshopper Installation
Drawing Number: M-7-110-01 (0)
NOTE: Place TDSU as per the rig JSA. Connect the TDSU power cables to the AC power
source.
DANGER:

Ensure that the feeder breaker is OFF while connecting the power cables to it.
Be aware that the line side of the feeder breaker may still be live even if it is in
the OFF position. Use extreme caution while working in the feeder breaker
junction box.

The following method for handling the Grasshopper during installation should be followed to prevent
damage to equipment or injury to workers. The safest method of rigging the Grasshopper is with
the use of a crane. The crane is generally able to lift from directly above the point of attachment of
the cable to the Grasshopper, allowing the operator to control the movement of the Grasshopper.

1. With the Grasshopper still laid down, elevate the pole as required and rotate the entire
assembly until section 1 (the inboard section) is in the required position. Use the HPU override
pushbutton on the Grasshopper pedestal to start HPU 1 while the console is not connected.
2. Anchor section 1 so that it will not rotate while raising section 2. Failure to do so may allow
this section to swing uncontrollably during the rest of the rig-up.
3. Attach the line to be used for raising section 2.
4. To control the swinging of the Grasshopper, a tag line must be attached from the outboard end
of section 2 to a forklift, loader or similar vehicle. The tag line must be attached prior to
attempting to raise section 2 of the Grasshopper.
5. Attach the line in a manner that will not allow it to slide along the Grasshopper section.
6. Position the vehicle so that it can provide the greatest resisting force to oppose the lifting force
as much as possible.
7. The operator of the vehicle will keep the line between the vehicle and the Grasshopper taut at
all times in order to provide a resisting force to control the swing of the Grasshopper.
8. Section 2 will have a tendency to swing once it is lifted from its cradled position in
section 1. If the pull from the lifting winch is coming from one side of the Grasshopper, that is
the direction in which it will swing. If the pull is from directly above, it could swing in either
direction. Ensure that the person controlling the tag line is prepared and all personnel are
standing clear.
9. The operator of the vehicle attached to the tag line will be required to coordinate with the
crane/winch operator to control the swing of the Grasshopper.
10. After section 2 has been raised to a vertical height that will allow it to clear section 1, it can be
allowed to swing to a stable position by slowly and carefully slacking off the tag line while
keeping section 2 raised above section 1 (i.e., do not allow section 2 to rest on section 1). Once
section 2 has swung to its extreme, continue lifting to be absolutely sure that there is no more
tendency for it to swing. If the Grasshopper is stable, the tag line can be removed. The
structure will remain stable for the rest of the installation.
11. Pin the swivel mount to the mounting bracket installed on the substructure.

Guide skid.
13. Connect the two control cables from the Grasshopper to the Control Console.
14. Connect the Electric Service cables from the Grasshopper to the Torque Guide J box.
15. Turn on the power at the TDSU and perform a function test.
16. If the Upper Well Control Valve AUTO feature is to be used:
Connect the pressure switch to the mud pump pressure line at the drilling recorder.
Connect the cable to the Top Drive Console.
Connect the interface cable from the TDSU to the rig for the mud pump running status
signal.

NOTE: The hinge between section 4 & 5 should be even with
or above the rig floor and section 3 may be partially
unfolded, depending on the floor elevation.
11. Block section 3 in its partially unfolded
position if required.
12. Rotate the Service Support Frame (Upper
and Lower) until they are as close as
possible to section 3. This step should
only be required on very narrow masts.

1. After the mast is assembled and prior to raising, position the Torque Guide sections as shown
below. Also refer to the Torque Guide Installation drawing in Subsection 6C of this Manual.
Preset the turnbuckle lengths as indicated on the Torque Guide Installation drawing.
2. Lift each Torque Guide section into place and pin into the turnbuckles.
Install locking pins or bolts at each end of the turnbuckle pins. Refer to the Torque Guide
Installation drawing.
3. Bolt the sections together using the hardware specified on the Torque Guide Installation
drawing.
4. Center the Torque Guide with respect to the mast by taking measurements to each side of the
mast from the Torque Guide. Measurements should be equal 1/2 inch. Adjust the
turnbuckles equal amounts in opposite directions to correct any centering errors. For example if
the Torque Guide is too close to the drillers side at a particular mounting point, then extend the
drillers side turnbuckle and retract the off-drillers side turnbuckle equal amounts.
5. Check the fore-aft position by measuring at each side of the Torque Guide and take the
average. The tolerance for the fore-aft position is 1/2 inch. Correct the fore-aft position by
adjusting the two turnbuckles equally and in the same direction. Refer to the Torque Guide
Installation drawing for theoretical fore-aft positions (Dim x) of the Torque Guide. Some fine
tuning may be required and is usually done at the time commissioning. Measure, record and
return the actual fore-aft positions to Canrig. A formal drawing with as-built dimensions will be
issued which can be used to verify the correct Torque Guide position on subsequent rig-ups.
NOTE: Ignore the torsional positional of the Torque Guide at this stage since it is not
controlled by the turnbuckles.
6. Visually check the straightness of the Torque Guide in both the side and fore-aft planes and
make any adjustments as required. The turnbuckles should never need to be readjusted and it
is recommended that they be wired to prevent accidental movement due to drilling.
