months using proper RCD test equipment. All outdoor power cables shall be heavy duty
industrial quality, armoured or screened, UV and oil-resistant.

Company prefers armoured cables to prevent physical damage when the cables are not
sufficiently protected, e.g. not laid in cable trays, or when protection cannot be
guaranteed because of the rough environment. For fixed installation in the mast or under
the substructure for zone 1 and 2 cables should be armoured (one-time installation) and
for movable temporary rubber cable "screened" cables (as per IEC 60079-14 / IEC
60364) would be acceptable if the screen is grounded. When laid inside cable trays,
normal standard cables of a heavy duty industrial quality, UV and oil resistant and
protected by steel cable trays, that are earthed is acceptable.

minimum wraps for a given drawworks is given in the manufacturer's operating manual.
The installation of a top drive will require additional wraps. The installation of disk brakes
or callipers (as opposed to conventional band brakes) on drawworks will require
additional wraps as disk brakes are prone to abrupt braking as compared to conventional
band brakes.
A rigorous inspection schedule, including NDT, of the main drawworks brake, brake
bands and brake linkage as per PR-1312 Well Engineering Equipment Inspection
Procedure is mandatory.
Brake bands shall not be repaired. Brake blocks shall be made of non-asbestos material.

brakes, a minimum of 6 disk brakes or calliper brakes (including both drawworks drum
flanges) shall be provided. At least 2 of the 6 disk brakes or calliper brakes shall function
as parking brakes. The emergency braking button when activated shall activate at least 4
of the 6 disk brakes or calliper brakes provided.
Contractor shall fit a flow sensor and temperature alarm to the draw works cooling water
return line. As a minimum, loss of cooling water pressure shall be indicated by an audio-
visual alarm on the Driller's console. A low level alarm on the cooling water tank is
recommended.
1.5 Crown and floor protection
Contractor shall provide a crown-o-matic or other similar automatic fail-safe emergency
stop device to prevent accidentally hoisting the travelling block against the crown block. If
timber blocks are used as shock absorbing devices, they shall be covered with wire mesh
and secured in such a way that impact does not dislodge them. Contractor shall provide a
floor-saver or other similar automatic fail-safe emergency stop device to prevent accidental
lowering of the travelling block to the rotary table level. Company requires the installation
of a Kinetic Energy Monitoring System (KEMS) for anti-collision in addition to the crown-o-
matic.
Contractor shall install Jumper bars to prevent drilling line from jumping out of the crown
sheaves so that no section more than 100 of arc is unprotected.
1.6 Deadline anchor / Weight indicator
Deadline anchors for hoisting lines shall be constructed and installed (bolted/welded) such
that their strength equals or exceeds the working strength of the hoisting line. Systems will
not rely on bolts being in tension. The system should be designed such that a bolt failure
does not result in the anchor flying.
Contractor shall carry out regular checks for cracks and significant corrosion to ascertain
proper functioning and structural integrity of the equipment. Critical welds or other securing
devices shall be regularly inspected as per PR-1312 Well Engineering Equipment Inspection
Procedure.
A weight indicator shall be installed on every drilling and workover rig and it shall be
maintained such that it registers an accurate indication of the hook load suspended (within
5 per cent at maximum hook load). The weight indicator shall be checked regularly for
calibration by comparing its reading with the calculated drill pipe or tubing string weight.
Contractor shall inspect the load cell gap on every shift.
