Latchdown Indicating Plug Catchers 4. Release the top plug and pump it into the drillpipe
behind the cement. When the top plug reaches the
catcher, it enters the baffle and is locked in place.
General
Use plug catchers in cementing operations for zone Important—The maximum differential pressure

catchers in sand control operations to separate fluids fluid to bypass the plug.

1. Place the top plug in the plug container.
2. Install the plug catcher near the end of the drill-
string and lower it to the necessary depth.
3. To begin cement displacement, run the bottom
plug in the drillpipe and pump the necessary
amount of slurry behind it. The plug will pass
through the pipe and out the bottom of the drill-
pipe.

BEFORE MOBILIZATION TO THE LOCATION.
NOTE: FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REFERENCED IN THIS DOCUMENT, PLEASE REFER TO THE
APPROPRIATE MANUALS AND MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES. ENSURE THAT A CURRENT TOOL
ASSEMBLY PRINT IS AVAILABLE DURING THIS PROCEDURE.
HSE Ensure that safety glasses, gloves, steel-toed shoes and hard hats (if required) are worn. Review the
appropriate Job Safety Analyis (JSA) forms before commencing the work. Ensure that hand tools are in
good condition and that the work area is free of trips and hazards. Always maintain good housekeeping
standards in the work area.
Ensure that proper lifting techiniques are used. If necessary, get help when lifting.
DISASSEMBLE:
1. Place the tool in the vise, clamping around the case.
2. Remove the lower pin from the case (on new tools).
3. Remove the top adapter from the case.
NOTE: THE BODY SHOULD BE REMOVED WITH THE TOP ADAPTER. SUPPORT THE BODY WHEN
REMOVING IT FROM THE CASE.
HOLD POINT 1 – Service-tool components should only be inspected and released for reassembly by personnel
appointed by the local operational management. Parts should not be reused unless reuse is explicitly authorized
by such individuals, and authorizations must be recorded on the tool’s Maintenance Check Sheet.

IMPORTANT: WHEN INSTALLING LOCK RINGS, ENSURE THAT THEIR BEVELLED ENDS ARE DOWN SO THAT
THEY MATCH THE BEVELS IN THEIR GROOVES. OTHERWISE, THE PLUG WILL NOT LOCK IN.
PRESSURE-TEST PROCEDURE:
HSE
Before pressure-testing, ensure that area is cleared of all nonessential personnel. Set up pressure-testing
equipment in an appropriate area, and display signs to notify personnel that pressure-testing is in
progress. Do not test alone.
HOLD POINT 2 – Service-tool pressure tests must be verified by personnel appointed by the local operational
management. Such verification must be recorded on the tool’s Maintenance Check Sheet.

progress. Do not test alone.
HOLD POINT 2 – Service-tool pressure tests must be verified by personnel appointed by the local operational
management. Such verification must be recorded on the tool’s Maintenance Check Sheet.
1. Install the test fixture and internally test the tool to a maximum of 5,000 psi.
2. Hold the test for 5 minutes. No leaks are acceptable.
3. Remove the test fixtures, and drain all test fluids.
4. Clean and paint the tool; then, tag it and place it in storage for the next job.
5. Document the results of the pressure test in the Maintenance Check Sheet, and file this form, along with the
pressure-recorder chart, in the tool book. Retain the last three charts.
