Compliance
In case of major deviations of SOP by an individual, HLS will have authority to regularize on
case to case basis and issue advisory note, if deemed fit.
Training & Competence
All the officials involved with the logging operation should have undergone theoretical and on-
the-job training before assuming independent responsibility. Competency of a Field Officer for
a particular job will be decided by HLS.
Logging Procedure
The following procedure is involved for carrying out logging operations.
1. Parking of logging unit in front of cat walk
2. Rig Up (fixing of top and bottom sheaves etc.)
3. Stacking, testing and calibration of the tools
4. Lowering of the tool into the well to the desired depth.
5. Logging Process
6. Pulling out the tool to surface.
7. Rig Down
8. Departure from site
Keep safe distance from the moving cable, rotating sheaves and cable drum. While lifting, all
unnecessary personnel should be as remote as possible outside the radius of possible fall. Use a
suitable hoister (crane, cat-line) for lifting the long and heavy logging equipment and tools.
Do not lift heavy tools by yourself. Use proper techniques for handling heavy equipments. Lift
with proper posture. Be careful of your fingers and toes. Use hand glows for protection.
Check the insulation of electrical equipment and logging cable to ensure that the insulation and
cable resistance are in order. Inspect all the threads, O rings/ pressure seals on all logging tools
before each run. Check cable insulation before each run.
Rig-up at Drilling or Work over Rigs
All rig-up & associated equipment is to be load tested and certified by an approved agency.
Inspect all the logging rig-up equipments like, sheaves, T bar, Tie down chain, sling, U
Clamps etc. before use. Anchor lower cable sheave with the beam of rig structure using Tie
down chain. Install upper sheave in the elevator through a T bar. Ensure the T bar is locked to
avoid slipping from the elevator. The handle of elevator must be locked and secured by a heavy
duty pin. A cable hanger should be available with unit. Hands, rags, and other objects need to
be kept away from sheave when cable is moving. Use a well calibrated load cell for all well site
operations. Check whether the well is filled with Mud/ Brine and ensure that there is no fluid
loss.

this weight
22. Mark the pipe at the rotary table (or some references point)
23. Lower the tool after zeroing the tool bottom at rotary.
24. Lower the assembly at a speed of 40-50 m/min up to 200m. Slowly give slack and then
raise it just enough to have the slack joint in mid stroke. This removes the weight above the
free point tool from the tool.
25. Pull the pipe up slowly to the necessary differential pull needed for the pipe you are
working with. Observe free point meter movement. When the proper amount of weight is
pulled on the pipe, set the sensitivity knob to make the free point meter read 100. Slowly
release the weight from the pipe. The free point meter should move to zero. If it does not
flip the reset switch and use zero knob to adjust to zero. Repeat multiple times and observe
tool operation. When the free point meter reads open and closed as 100 and zero
respectively; record the sensitivity setting for stretch. Same may be done with torque. Once
the sensitivity is set; lock the sensitivity knob. DO NOT AJUST THE SENSITIVTY
FROM HERE ON OR THE CALLIBRATIONS WILL NO LONGER BE VALID.
26. Proceed in hole taking readings approximately every 100 m. until pipe movement no longer
affects a movement in the meter in either stretch or torque. The point furthest down the hole
where the free point meter reads 100 is the recommended point to cut or back off.
27. Logging crew chief to discuss the outcome with base and well site representative.
28. Pull up the assembly at a speed of 40-50m/min.
29. Dismantle the assembly and load them in the unit.
71. Shutdown the surface system as per the procedure given in document no. LS/SOP/CH-
PL/LOG IQ or LS/SOP/CH-PL/WLS.
30. Rig down and carry out the Job closure meeting before departure from site.

3. Lip guide according to casing size
4. Bowl
5. Cross over
b. For CCL
1. Inspect the area around the rig structure and ensure that there are no potential hazards for
Logging Job.
2. Ensure that the catwalk area is cleaned, non-slippery and there is no obstruction to work.
3. Conduct the safety meeting and discuss the safety requirements for the job with the Well
site in-charge and obtain a work permit for the job.
4. Park the Logging Unit. After rigging up, make proper Grounding of Logging Unit.
5. Cordon off the operation area and display safety sign boards.
6. An MWD down hole tool is with the bottom hole drilling assembly, enabling the wellbore
to be steered in a chosen direction. An MWD fishing/retrieval job is done when drill string
stuck and the MWD tool is left within drill string.
7. Note down technical data /depth tally with diagram from well site In-charge. Onsite MWD
representative will provide MWD latch assembly with cross over compatible with GO
connection.
8. Check the cable head for insulation & continuity.
9. Start Surface System and load passive CCL service from the service list.
10. Connect the sinker bar, Passive CCL & MWD latch assembly
11. Lower the tool after zeroing the tool bottom at rotary.
12. Lower the assembly at a speed of 40-50 m/min up to 100m above the fish top
13. Further lower the assembly with recording down log with a recording speed of 15 m/min
14. Latch the MWD tool, tool will be released at certain pull after breaking of fins
15. After getting tension indication of relieving of tool pull up the assembly at a speed of 40-
50m/min. After approaching at 100m, slowly pull out to surface, dismantle the assembly.
16. Logging crew chief to discuss the outcome with base and well site representative.
