using proper handles.

MAKE UP WITH SPINNING CHAIN- After traveling

equipment is cleared place backup tongs on the tool

joint in rotary, using proper handles.

Wrap spinning chain counter clockwise on tool joint

in rotary.

running, sand trap is closed and

pumps are set up for drilling.

Discuss prior hole problems/

conditions.

Communicate to Driller when

properly tied-off and ready to

work.

Climb derrick using proper

procedure and fall protection.

Be 100% tied off at all times.

If required tie-off swivel bails to

Review JSA for tripping in hole with Drill Pipe.

Know string weight, maximum over-pull, displacement

volume, pipe tally, BHA design, proper makeup torque

values, number of stands to casing shoe, previous

tight spots, any windows or kick-off points, etc.

Fit for duty check on all hands.

DISCUSS PROPER TIE-OFF PROCEDURES WITH

DERRICKMAN

Verify that equipment has been inspected and is in

good working condition.

Verify following items are ready/available, if required:

- Stabbing guide

- Unlock positive lock on hook.

- Strapping tape.

- Wiper rubber available and in good condition.

- Inside BOP, safety valve w/wrench, and proper x-over

subs, and proper drill pipe slips.

- Tail rope.

- Fluid monitoring alarms and equipment are set and

operating properly

- Load Cell is in proper position.

PROCEDURE IS BASED ON THE ASUMPTION

THAT THE DRILL COLLARS ARE ALREADY

RUN IN THE HOLE WITH DRILL PIPE

ON LAST STAND OF COLLARS.

PREPARING TO TRIP IN HOLE

Driller is to verify proper setting and working

condition of the Crown-O-Matic at the beginning

of trip. Driller is to acknowledge Crown-O-Matic

check in the IADC Tour Book. Verify that auxil-

iary brake is engaged.

Lower stand to proper position and instruct two crew

members to set slips using outside handles only.

Slack off drill string weight onto slips, clearing

elevators from tool joint.

Trip sheet available for monitoring

displacement.

Verify that any ropes used to

latch drill collars are removed.

BEFORE THE BLOCKS LEAVE THE FLOOR:

• Verify that the Derrickman understands the

proper tie-off procedures.

• Verify that the Derrickman is properly tied-off.

(100% Tie-off).

• Derrickman will communicate with Driller

that he is properly Tied-off and ready to work.

BPS recommends the use of

two-way communications

between the Derrickman and

the Driller.

MAKE SURE CREW MEM-

BERS ARE IN PROPER

POSITION AND CLEAR OF

PIN END OF STAND.

Instruct Motorman to unlatch elevators.

Clear elevators from tool joint using link tilts, pick up

traveling equipment to clear elevators above tool joint.

Instruct crew members to install “Hobble” on elevators,

if required.

READY TO TRIP IN HOLE WITH DRILL PIPE

Using link tilts position elevators to proper position for

latching onto next stand of drill pipe. Raise elevators to

proper position for latching next stand, know the kick-

out point on drum to avoid Crown.

After Derrickman latches stand of drill pipe in eleva-

tors, pick up slowly on stand and position link tilt to

stab in position. Instruct crew to guide stand to

correct stabbing position, using “tail rope”.

Lower stand of drill pipe (SLOWLY) as crew stabs

stand into tool joint in rotary table.

Once pin end is set in tool joint, slack off clearing

elevators of tool joint.

MAKE UP WITH PIPE SPINNER - Wait on crew to

make up stand with pipe spinners.

When tongs and crew members are in proper makeup

position, engage makeup cathead, tightening drill pipe

connection to proper torque.

Make sure all employees are in

proper position, especially their

hands. Be careful not to dam-

age face of drill pipe. (Don’t

bounce tool joint, pick up if

mis-stabbed). Use stabbing

guide if required.
