Key issues related to equipment requirements, rigging in procedures, pressure testing, equipment servicing and reporting are specifically addressed. An appendix has been included to provide technical information related to mechanical properties and strengths and operational considerations associated with the equipment. 2e7e162 This ARP is part of a series. For the overall intent of, and a general reference to the whole series, please refer to ARP 2.0. The recommendations contained in this ARP provide operators with industry endorsed advice, and are intended to be applied in association with all existing ERCB regulations as well as the other ARPs. While strict legal enforcement of good practices is not desired oF possible, the BPWSC believes that such practices place considerable onus on the legally responsible party to comply or otherwise provide a technically equivalent or better solution. 2.72123 While the recommendations set out in this ARP are meant to allow flexibility, the need for exercising competent technical judgement is a ni ry requirement to be employed concurrently with its use. While every effort has been nade to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the dats contained in the ARP and to avoid errors and omissions, the BPWSC, its subcommittees, and individual members make no representation, warranty of guarantee in connection with the publication or the contents of any ARP recommendation, and hereby disclaim liability of responsibility for loss or damage resulting from the use of thie ARP, or for any violation of any statutory or regulatory requirement with which en ARP recommendation may conflict. 2e7.1.4 In cases of inconsistency or conflict between any of the recommended practices conteined in this ARP and applicable legislative requirements, the legislative requirements shall prevail.-2- 89/04 2.762 REC WE/RTC “OUT ARP - NOTE: . Hold a safety meeting with the operator's representative(s), wireline crews, and all other personnel on lease to discuss the operatio at hand, designate responsibilities, discuss the contingency plan as well as other appropriate safety considerations. Air packs and resuscitators should be brought ont. (The equipment should be used when bleeding off and breaking oat and kept on until the staffing box is broken off the lubricator). Wo gin poles are to be circumstances. ed ander any tt to be Climbing on the lubricator is allowed. All equipment attached to the well! t be adequately supported to prevent lateral movement. ARP 2.12, Safety, addresses general tters to be considered during the safety meeting. Matters specific to wireline operators to be addressed include? - Well pressure checked to ensure that the pressure control equipment is rated for the working pressure. - Line truck spotted s minimum distance of 25 m from the wellhead or equipped with a diesel engine with an air shut-off. The equipment should not be placed downwind of the wellhead. If possible, the equipment ehould be moved or operations shut down when a changing wind direction is detrimental to a safe operation.NOTE: -3- 89/04 = Picker on Mast-Unit must be grounded to equal potential between the flowlines, wellhead, and all equipment. = Full lubricator, when lengths are excessive, must be supported to prevent any lateral movement and should not be left unattended. WELLSITE PRESSURE TESTS After BOP's are inatalled on the lihead, wireline BOP's are to be pressure tested from below with the rams closed to a pressere the lesser of 1.3 times the estimated maximum potential SITHP or the wellhead pressure rating. A pre-job pressure test shall be performed on the wireline pressore control system after connection to the wellhead, using # low viscosity re test the equipment to 1400 kPa re test the equipmest to the le maxinom potential SITHP or the wellhead pressure rating and hold for 10 minutes. The wellhead must be pressure tested after the lubricator has been removed and the wellhead reassembled, as outlined in ARP 2.1, Wellheads. SITHP = Shut in tubing head pressure. On wells where the seximum potential SITHP is not well established through past operations, it is recommended that the SITHP be calculated from the bottom hole pressure using « dry gas gradient. Refer to Appendix VI of ARP 2.1 for calculation thods--4- 89/04 2.768 ARP - The wireline (BOP's) shall be pressore tested within ene th prier to working aa critical well or after being ed.

NOTE: on-destructive evaluation as described in Appendiz I of ARP 2.10, Quality Progra should have been done on the pressure control equipment within the last three months and be certified by an outside firm. The certification is to be available for inspection. 2.7.5 EQUIPHERT 2.7.5.1 Equipment Specifications ARP - Slickline equipment specifications shall conform to the following: a) The lebricater length, diameter, and>) -5- 89/04 pressure rating must be adequate for the services to be provided.

The hydraclic stuffing box or high pressure pack-off t be remotely operated @ min. of 25 = (82') upwind from the wellhead. 2) Quick connectors on the high pressare, E28 rated bleed-off mast have an elastomeric seal which activated b) Am desolation valve must be located « 3m (10') from the d of the bleed-off line. c) The discharge end of the bl: t be tied (staked) down at level.

On welle where there is significant potential for hydrates to form during the wireline operations, consideration should be made to install a second remotely operated BOP between the lubricator and the hydraulic stuffing box. 2.7.5.3 Elastomeric Specification ARP - NOTE: 2.7.5.4 Bolting ARP - Elastoneric seals should be selected utilizing the reco jack, eet ont in ARP 2.11, Guidelines for Selecting Elastomers Seals. With elastomeric seals, compatibility must exist between the seals and the pressure testing fluids, or any other fluid that may come in contact with the seals. There are a number of subcomponents which are constructed of non-metallic material. These include the annular preventer and ram rubbers, bonnet of doot seals and packing for BOP secondary seals. Bolting as specified in Appendix I1 shocld be utilized. 2.7.5.5 Gertification ARP - All equipment subjected to pre B28 enviro’ te must have identifier (serial number) and a legible stamp or other permanent marking to indicate it is suitable for B28 service.
