DOT / Safety
We should do this prior to spotting in and rigging up equipment.
What is a site assessment / tool box talk / Safety Huddle / HazardID with all employees?
This device prevents overpressure but should never be strictly relied upon.
What is a PRV Pressure Relief Valve?
This product, found in most kitchens, is also commonly used to keep cement from setting up.
What is sugar?
While taking bulk samples it is important to do this to ensure we get a good representation of the product that is in the entire silo.
What is take samples during the beginning, middle and end of the pod/silo?
Name 3 purposes of cement in the wellbore
1.Protects the casing from drilling shock and corrosive effects of the formations,
2. Protects the environment by preventing fluid/gas migration to surface and other formations (aquafiers)
3. Isolates production zones while fracturing
4. Plugs (Kick Off or PTA)
This is the requirement for commercial vehicles when the chain law is in affect.
What are chains for 4 drive wheels.
This is the pressure in which we must not exceed when airing up a steel tank.
What is 36 PSI?
A slurry may contain this type of additive if the well being cementing had experienced mud losses while drilling.
What is LCM?
It is important to bring these into the bulk plant and place them into the appropriate bin when returning to the yard from a job.
What are bulk cement samples / bulk sample bags?
This is the difference between a Float Shoe and a Guide Shoe?
What is a check valve?
This is the weight limit for a tandem axle set when traveling on interstate highways.
What is 36,000 lbs.
This type of bulk equipment is used to minimize the amount of equipment and people needed to sustain higher volume operations.
What is field storage bins / Silos?
This specific additive is commonly used to accelerate set times in cement blends such as plugs, surface casings, or top-out jobs.
What is Calcium Chloride or an accelerator?
Double - What are the benefits of a short set time?
These are areas which that inherently have a higher risk and more serious potential to cause harm due to the conditions or hazards present.
What is a red zone?
DOUBLE: This is the distance away from our Iron that we set up a red zone.
Annular fluid velocity is one of the most important factors to consider for displacing mud and achieving a good cement bond. This is the term for the flow pattern that is desired for this to occur.
What is turbulent Flow?
This is the maximum weight limit for a commercial vehicle traveling on interstate highways.
What is 80,000 lbs?
This component is responsible for fluidizing the bulk cement and assuring consistent delivery.
What are the aeration cartridges / fluffers?
This type of cement additive is used to improve the flow properties of a slurry, often added to make it easier to mix or for rheological purposes.
What is a dispersant or Friction Reducer?
This is the way we determine the pressure in which to test our lines to prior to a job.
What is adding 1000 psi to the max. anticipated pressure for the job at hand.
Second to mud conditioning, this is the most important technique to employ to ensure good cement placement.
What is rotation/reciprocation?
According to the new classification of hazards these are the 10 Key energies?
What are Gravity, biological, chemical, electrical, equipment/machinery/tools, noise, muscular/ergo, radiation, stored energy, and thermal.
This is the recertification frequency for bulk vessels.
What is 5 years?
This type of additive would be used in a slurry to prevent strength degradation caused by high temperature well bore conditions (typically above 230 deg f.)
What is SSA / Strength Stabilizing Additive?
This is the written out title of the onshore pressure testing work method.
What is WM-GL-HAL-CMT-0601?
This is what we call the time that we have to place the slurry before it becomes too thick to pump.
What is thickening time?
DOUBLE: What is the unit of measurement we use for this value. What value does Halliburton consider too thick to pump and what value does API consider too thick to pump?
