S23G05 applies to cement heads, cement-head quick couplings, and the

DeepSEA EXPRES Surface Dart Launcher (SDL). S23G06 applies to wellhead

connections including casing swages.
1.1 General information

Minimum requirements:
• Each component must be identified with a unique serial number that will
remain with the equipment until it is removed from service.
• Each cement head and its components must be inspected and pressure
tested as per this guideline at least once every twelve (12) months unless
otherwise required on a more frequent basis.
• The results of the inspection and pressure test must be documented. The
documentation (either a paper copy or electronic copy) must be kept on file
at the operating location for one year or until the next inspection.
• Any cement head and its components not meeting the requirements of this
guideline must be taken out of service and repaired or destroyed.
1.2 Annual inspection requirements
1.2.1 Visual inspection

• Ensure that the component was manufactured by an approved supplier
according to the current version of Well Services QHSE Standard 05, or
that an exemption approved by Well Services headquarters is in place. The
DeepSEA EXPRES Surface Dart Launcher (SDL) must be manufactured by
FMC or IRI.
• Ensure that the component has not been welded for any reason, except
for fabricated standard pressure cement heads that may have welds made
during the manufacturing process.
Private
• Verify that each component has a band with a serial number; if the band is
missing, perform the necessary research to identify the component’s serial
number. The serial number may be stamped onto the body of the casing
adapter in a place where it is readily visible and cannot be easily damaged
during make up.
• Inspect the internal bore of the component for erosion or corrosion. If the
component shows any signs of erosion or corrosion, test the point of concern
with the ultrasonic thickness tester.

• Inspect the pull pin assemblies.
– Remove the pull pin assembly and disassemble it.
– The pull pin must be inspected for corrosion, bending, and cracks.
– Each pull pin must be subjected to magnetic particle (MPI) or dye
penetrant inspection.
– Any pin showing cracks must be removed from service and replaced.
– The pull pin must have a machined mechanical stop on the end of the pin
that travels in the ID of the cement head body.
Figure 1-1: Mechanical stop on the pull pin.
• Inspect FMC adjustable manifolds by disassembling and inspecting the inner

slip tube for wear, as well as all the bores on the “T” plug valves for internal
erosion.
• Check for cracks in the root of the 1502 acme thread or any other damages
to this thread. If there are any concerns, perform an MPI of the union.
• Inspect the outside of the component for surface damage such as dents,
gouges, or flat spots. Test the point of concern with the ultrasonic thickness
tester.
Private
• Check for cracks in the 90-degree angle on the back side of the male hub. If
there are any concerns, perform an MPI of the union.
• Remove the seal rubber and check its condition and the condition of the
sealing face. Replace any seal rings that show damage of any kind. If the
sealing face is pitted or otherwise damaged, this part of the component will
need to be replaced.
• Without grinding them, check to see if the hammer lugs on the wing nut can
be dressed and still remain within acceptable limits. See Figure 1-4, part A.
• Inspect the lift eyes and chain or sling on the cement head cap according to
the requirements of SLB QHSE Standard S013: Mechanical Lifting, InTouch
content ID# 3260276.
1.2.2 Wall thickness inspection

1. Verify that the ultrasonic tester is current on its annual calibration and that it
has been calibrated at least once that day by following the manufacturer’s
procedure.
2. If required for the specific ultrasonic thickness tester, remove paint, grease,
rust, and other materials from the area to be tested.
3. Measure the wall thickness at the designated areas and in any other areas
indicated during the visual inspection. On the manifolds, check the wall
thickness in several places around the circumference marked by an X.
4. Compare the results of the wall thickness tests to the minimum wall thickness
for the components as shown in Table 1-1 (p. 1-5).
5. Remove from service and destroy any components that show a wall thickness
equal to or less than the minimum wall thickness.
6. Any cement head manifolds with NPT threaded connections that fail the
wall thickness inspection shall not be repaired and shall be replaced with
integral manifolds.

1.2.3 Thread inspection

All casing and tool joint thread inspections must be performed by a qualified
third-party thread inspection company.
Private
1.2.3.1 Cement-head top-drive cap with tool-joint box

Perform a DS-1 Cat HDLS or NS-2 inspection on the top-drive cement-head cap
tool-joint box. A documented certificate of inspection is required.
Note
Top-drive cement-head caps (tool joint (drill pipe) box by ACME pin) are not part
of the Crossover LTO registry.
1.2.3.2 All other threads (including cement-head quick-coupling)

Thread inspection should be consistent with local industry practice and as a
minimum consist of MPI inspection and checking for thread wear or damage.
A documented certificate of inspection is required.
1.2.4 Union inspection

1. Verify that all go/no-go gauges are current on their calibrations.
2. Thoroughly clean all parts of the union.
3. Clearly identify that the wing is made by FMC or SPM. If not and no
exemption approved by Well Services HQ is in place, remove from service
and destroy the wing
4. If the wing is 2-in and is marked “TEST” instead of “CWP,” remove the wing
and destroy it.
5. Grind the hammer lugs on the wing to match Figure 1-4 (p. 1-9), part B, and
measure L; if any lug matches Figure 1-4, part C, or has L equal to or less
than Lm (see Table 1-3 (p. 1-9)), remove the wing and destroy it.
6. Screw gauge #1 into the wing until it is hand-tight.
7. Backing out gauge #1 while pulling on it, count the number of turns until it
releases from the wing; if gauge #1 turns more than 1 turn before releasing,
remove the wing and destroy it.
8. Slide gauge #2 into the wing; if it enters the wing completely, remove the
wing and destroy it.
9. Dismantle the wing completely.
10. If the wing is an FR design, ensure that the segments and male hub are also
the FR design. Do not use gauges #5 or 6 to inspect FR parts.
Private
11. Using gauge #5, check in three places around the circumference of the male
hub that the hook does not fit; if the hook does fit with the gauge level with the
hub, remove the section of the component with the male hub and destroy it.
12. Slide each of the segments through gauge #5 to ensure that there is no
visible clearance on surfaces A or B; if there is any clearance, destroy the
segment.
Figure 1-3: Inspecting the segment using gauge #5.
13. Measure the surface B of all three segments, ensuring that they are the
same height; any differences in heights must be investigated to ensure that
FMC or SPM segments are being used in the respective unions.
14. Screw gauge #3 onto the thread until it is hand-tight.
15. Backing out gauge #3 while pulling on it, count the number of turns until it
releases from the thread; if gauge #3 turns more than 1 turn before releasing,
remove the section of the component with the thread and destroy it.
16. Slide gauge #4 onto the thread; if it slides over the thread to the mark on the
gauge, remove the section of the component with the thread and destroy it.

1.2.5 Pressure test

The cement-head quick coupling (cement head thread x casing thread) is not
required to be pressure tested with the cement head. The body of the head can
be pressure tested by installing a plug into the quick-coupling wing.
1. Reassemble the component correctly.

For the DeepSEA EXPRES Head, follow the procedure specified in Chapter
I-C, SDL Pressure Test, of DSEH Manual (Operations, Maintenance and
Parts Manuals), InTouch content ID# 5076046, to prepare the DSEH for
the pressure test.
2. In a pressure test bay or other protected environment, fill the component with
water and pressure test it to +/-2.5% of its rated working pressure for, at
least 3 minutes. During the pressure test, the manifold valves must be left
in the open position. Differential testing of the valves is not a requirement
of this guideline.
3. If there are no leaks and the pressure drops off no more than 2.5% of its
rated working pressure within the 3 minutes, the component has passed
the inspection.
4. If the pressure decreases from the initial test pressure and stabilizes, the
pressure can be increased one time to reach the rated working pressure.
5. If there are visible leaks or the pressure drops off more than 2.5% of its rated
working pressure within the 3 minutes, release the pressure and return the
component for repair and retesting.
