the dies are all intact, and that the dies move up and down as they
should. The number of segments should be correct and dies in
good shape.
7. Check that the spider slips and elevators are correctly dressed and
in good shape.
8. Check the side door and single joint elevators for correct size, rat-
ing, and good latch condition.
9. Check the seals on the stab-in sub.
10. Ensure chiksans and T-piece are ready on the drillfloor for the
cementing operation.
11. Cementer to check equipment and preferably make up and dump
a test batch of cement during running casing, to check that all lines
are clear, etc.
Stinger and casing running procedure.
1. Rig up to run casing, test power tongs. Driller to make up a trip
sheet to monitor correct displacement. Driller to hold a safety
meeting on the drillfloor when ready to pick up the shoe joint (call
D/S and T/P when ready for meeting).
2. Pick up the shoe joint, run in, fill the casing, and pick up 10 m.
Lower again and look inside with a flashlight to check that the float
allows mud to flow (level dropped). Set slips and apply clamp.
Backoff the collar, clean the threads, apply Bakerlock, and make up
the collar with a chain tong. Meanwhile pick up joint ____ on the
SJ elevator, leave at the V-door on the rope, and clean the threads.
3. Apply Bakerlock to the pin end, stab into shoe joint, and make up
with the casing tong to ____ ft/lbs/to triangle. Lower into slips,
apply safety clamp, and fill joint.
4. Continue to RIH as per running list, applying centralizers where
shown (this can be done on the pipe rack). Use the safety clamp
(or spare SJ elevator) above slips until ____ lbs string weight. Fill
every joint and monitor correct amount of mud returned. If losses
or gains suspected, F/C and call D/S immediately. Run in hole at
about ____ minutes a joint lowering speed. Cementer to prepare
mix water in good time.
5. If a screw on spool is to be used, break the top collar so that it can
be unscrewed after cementing. Make up the landing joint with a
