1.

STATEMENT OF STANDARD OPERATING AND SAFETY PROCEDURES Safety Standard 28 is Schlumberger policy to perform jobs only where risks are acceptable. Since apparently low risk pumping jobs may present large risks if the well becomes out of control, pre job risk evaluation is required to determine if a job may be safely performed. This Standard Operating and Safety Procedure provides a system to evaluate and classify risk, defines the notification of line management that is mandatory when risk exceeds certain levels, and sets out training requirements for persons involved in pressure management operations. Additionally this Standard Operating and Safety Procedures specifies minimum distances from the wellhead for rigging up when well control risks are present.

2.

OBJECTIVE To prevent personal injury or damage to equipment due to well blowouts during land pumping operations.

3.

SCOPE This Standard Operating and Safety Procedure applies to land pumping operations. (Offshore Schlumberger well control emergency plans are integrated with the customers emergency and well control plans. Offshore, contact Schlumberger Management if Schlumberger plans are not integrated with the customers or if there are questions about the customers plans.) POLICY Risk Classification: Schlumberger will perform jobs only where operational risks are acceptable in magnitude. On jobs where the well is out of control or where there is the possibility that the well will become out of control, operational risk must be classified using the methods in this standard. Minimum Distances: In Code Black situations the rig up must be a safe distance and at least 300 feet from the wellhead. Schlumberger personnel must remain at least 150 feet from the wellhead. In Code Red situations the rig up must be a safe distance and at least 100 feet from the wellhead. Use caution when approaching the wellhead. In Code Yellow situations the rig up must be at a safe distance and at least 100 feet from the wellhead. Use caution when approaching the wellhead. In Code Green situations the rig up location must be a safe distance, recommended to be at least 60 feet from the wellhead. The provisions of all Sections of the Well Services Pressure Pumping Standard Operating and Safety Procedures (located: http://quality.sugar-land.dowell.slb.com/qhse/slpm/index.htm) still apply. Notification and Approval: In Code Black, Code Red or Code Yellow situations the Location Supervisor must notify Schlumberger management of the job circumstances, and gain approval to perform the job, prior to rigging up, or as soon as possible after risk conditions have changed. Location Supervisor: Each job shall have a Schlumberger person designated in charge and known as the Schlumberger Location Supervisor.

Pressure Management Training - Level 1: All operations personnel in land locations are required to undertake Pressure Management Training Level 1 provided by the Schlumberger Pressure Management Awareness Training Package. Pressure Management Training - Level 2: Locations performing pressure management jobs are required to have at least one person with current Pressure Management Training Level 2. Pressure Management Training Level 2 consists of Well Control Training by a industry recognized trainer; at least a three day school with a one day refresher every third year. Customer Safety Policies: Schlumberger will comply with customer safety policies and procedures as long as those policies and procedures meet or exceed Schlumberger Standards and Standard Operating and Safety Procedures. 5. 5.1 IMPLEMENTATION Code Black Conditions

In Code Black Conditions:

Notify Management (see Section 5.3). Obtain Management approval prior to rigging up. Rig up at a safe distance, not closer than 300 feet. Schlumberger personnel must remain at least 150 feet from the wellhead; including when making the treating iron connection to the well. The customer or personnel from the well control company will perform operations that are within 150 feet of the wellhead.

Example One

The People: Sales Engineer Schlumberger Operations Manager Area Asset Manager Schlumberger Location Supervisor Company Man : Sam Speaker : Billy Wilson : Phil Thompson : Harold Smith - GSS : Chester Long

The Story: Its 2:30 PM on Friday when District Sales Engineer, Sam Speaker, receives the call. The largest independent oil operator in the area needs a pump unit to help kill a well being drilled 35 miles south west of the district shop. The well has taken a kick and is shut in with the bit near bottom. Sam phones the dispatcher, and contacts Operations Manager, Billy Wilson, telling him that a Pressure Management job is unfolding. Sam makes a call to the drilling rig office, seeking more information. In spite of repeated attempts, the phone is not answered. 2:35 PM - Billy Wilson contacts Schlumberger Area Asset Manager Phil Thompson advising that a Pressure Management job is being mobilized and that details will follow. 3:00 PM - GSS Harold Smith, one assistant, and a double pump cementer carrying 120 feet of treating iron, depart for the jobsite. Harold has been to a well control school, and his assistants QHSE training is up to date, including Standard Operating and Safety Procedures for Pressure Management Operations (this Standard Operating and Safety Procedures) 4:00 PM - Arriving on location GSS Harold Smith surveys the situation. Careful not to miss important details he uses the Pressure Management Data Sheet and the Pressure Management Planning Checklist. He learns that the BOPs, rated at 5,000 psi, are in top shape and were tested just yesterday. There is 3,900 psi on the annulus and 3700 psi on the drill pipe. The rig crew has just finished mixing 200 bbl of 15 lb per gallon kill mud. There is no mud engineer on site. 4:20 PM - Company man Chester Long, well known in the area for fast drilling times, is in a hurry. Rig up and get on with it advises Chester, I want to be cementing casing by this time tomorrow. Chester requests that Schlumberger pump kill mud at 20 bpm and 4,500 psi down the drillpipe, proposes a location for the Schlumberger Pumper adjacent to the rig fuel tanks. While there is a clear path to the road, the rear of the Schlumberger pumper would be 75 feet from the wellhead. The kill program has been detailed by Chester using templates from a well control school.

~~~ Stop here. Determine the Risk Code for this job as it has unfolded so far. ~~~ ~~~ Use the Condition Questionnaire, the Preparation Questionnaire, and the Risk Code Table. ~~~

Example - The Story Continued 4:21 PM - Harold has already assessed the Risk for this job and says According to the Schlumberger system this is a Code Red Situation. I am obliged to inform my management. Ill need their approval to rig up. In a Code Red Situation I need to be at least 100 feet from the wellhead. I will request more treating iron, and, to get the necessary rate, second pumper. Ill rig up on the shoulder of the access road. That will put my people and equipment just over 150 feet from the well head. Rigging up there will change my situation to Code Yellow. After some discussion, Chester agrees. 4:25 PM - Harold makes the call to Billy Wilson. Billy, he says, we are in a Code Red situation here. 5,000 psi stack with 4,100 psi on the annulus. In order to drop to Code Yellow I need a second pumper with more treating iron. Billy dispatches a second pumper with iron on board. Billy and Harold agree that the situation is now Code Yellow and that the job can go ahead. Billy grants approval. Until the job is completed Harold will call in periodically, advising if or if not the situation code has changed. 4:35 PM - Billy Wilson calls Schlumberger Area ASSET Manager Phil Thompson to tell him that the Pressure Management Job is a Code Yellow. Approval to rig up has been granted. Billy agrees to call again if the situation becomes Code Red. Example continued - Harolds Second Risk Assessment
