For our most common services, field operations are led by Standard Work
Instructions (SWI's) and Checklists. The SWI is a step-by-step guide to
complete a job uniformly and successfully, while the checklist services as a
brief list of critical steps which must be confirmed prior to the beginning of
the job. SWI's are performed using the "read-do" technique in which a step
is read and the task is immediately performed before moving to the next
step. Checklists are completed using the "challenge-response" technique
where one individual asks a question to the responsible party in the field
and the responsible party confirms that the step has been completed.

1. Provide safety meeting or toolbox talk before start; review HARC regarding M/U BHA for specific location or rig.
2. Install the thread protectors and extender caps before tool pick-up.
3. Ask the rig crew to use certified slings or use SLB ones if using a crane to move the tools. If using catline, make sure a
lifting sub with the proper connection type and neck O.D. is available. A wrong lifting sub can damage threads or be incompatible
with elevator size. It’s good practice to mark the connection between collar and a lifting sub with chalk to make any possible backing
4. Install the lifting sub and properly tighten with chain tongs.
5. Make sure that the forklift forks or crane slings that move the tool are not on the antenna shields, which can cause
severe damage to the tools. Keep the forks or slings to one side of the shields and associated wear bands.
6. While picking up the tool to the rotary table make sure you have the correct tool order and have shown it to the rig
crew. Make sure tool has all thread protectors.
7. Verify torque status of crossovers. If this is properly torqued, there should be a broken line with the torque specified on
the crossover. If not, the crossover will need to be torqued on the rig floor.

9. Enter the number of the SPT and location in the Sensor Location panel.
10. Enter in the Telemetry mode information. If several types are planned to be used on different depths provide inputs
separately.
1. Do a general check on the extender for cleanliness and overall condition.
2. Make sure the extender is tightened correctly.
3. Perform a Go-No-go check on the extender with a Go-No Go gauge. The following diagrams show how this is
performed for a box connection and for a pin connection. For the extender to be set correctly, the end of the piston must lie between
the top and the bottom surface of the rectangular notch on the gauge.
4. If a Go-No Go Gauge is not available on the rig, it is still possible to make the necessary extender offset
measurements. The following diagrams summarize the offsets for the various extender types:
5. Check the extender resistance: measure the resistance between extender wet stabs and the tool body. The resistance
for both uphole and downhole may increase due to capacitance effect.
6. Ensure Primary Seals are new, in good condition, and properly lubricated with Lubriplate
7. Ensure that the Nose ID Surface is clean and in good condition. This is a seal surface

1. Clean the thread and saver sub from inside on the side of the tool you are going to connect to. If you run TeleScope
standalone or with Motor only first you have to remove the Bull plug and install the extender to be able to connect to the tool.
2. Prepare a 1/2 in socket extension to remove a Bull plug to install the extender for programming. If a one piece extender
is not available, the socket extension part must be secured together to ensure it won't be left in the tool using adequate tape.
3. Use a long 1/2-in socket extension to remove the Bull plug.
4. Choose the appropriate extender: see table to identify the one required. Working in the reverse order will install the
extender to the TeleScope. When installing the extender, note the following items:
5. Remove the bull plug from inside the collar using the wrench and long extension. Remove the protector cap on the
base of the extender and screw it onto the Bull plug. This will protect the Bull plug from getting damaged.
6. Clean all components (for example: saver sub/collar ID, centralizers) before inserting the extender into the collar.
Applying a small amount of grease, the centralizers will help guide the extender into the correct collar location.
7. Install the extender in the tool by hand. Once the extender is in position, it is helpful to turn the extender
counterclockwise in order to determine the first thread. Then, proceed to turn clockwise until it becomes tight.
8. Insert the extender spanner wrench inside the collar, the teeth at the edge of the wrench will mate with the teeth on the
extender. When the wrench is engaged, place the deep socket on the hex driver on the outer end of the wrench.
9. Apply the correct amount of torque when the extender is correctly tightened (100 lbf.ft for the downhole extender and
75 lbf.ft for the uphole extender).
10. Install the extender using the correct handling tool. Use a chain tong to prevent rotation of the tool. Use a wrench or
gas pipe wrench to rotate the Extender removal tool to install the extender. Always ask your co-worker for help you if you need to
11. Use a 1/2-in socket to remove the extender cap. It should be hand-torqued, but sometimes you need to apply extra
effort to loosen it.
12. Clean the extender inner contact with cotton buds, apply some DC-111 on the wet stab.
13. Clean the thread and gently insert the wet stab into the extender. Don’t push it too hard, the wet stab can be damaged
easily. Apply copper “crocodiles” onto the very end of the collar thread.
14. Prepare the LTB modem with wires and wet stab adaptors, a 1/2-in socket set to unscrew extender cup, Male Wet-
Stab (S-289001) and Female Wet-Stab (S-289007).
15. Connect the TSIM1 cable (dump cable) to the LTB modem, screw it together correctly. If necessary, secure the
modem to protect from water/humidity.
16. Apply some lubriplate on the O-rings before installation of the Bull plug into the tool. Install the Bull plug and torque to
100 lbf.ft with a 1/2-in drive wrench extension.

extender and 75 lbf.ft for the uphole extender).
6. Install the extender using the correct handling tool. Use a chain tong to prevent rotation of the tool. Use a wrench or
gas pipe wrench to rotate the Extender removal tool to install the extender. Always ask your co-worker for help you if you need to
7. Use a 1/2-in socket to remove the extender cup. It should be hand-torqued, but sometimes you need to apply extra
effort to loosen it.
8. Clean the extender inner contact with cotton buds, apply some DC111 on the wet stab.
9. Clean the thread and gently insert the wet stab into the extender. Don’t push it too hard, the wet stab can be damaged
easily. Apply copper “crocodiles” onto the very end of the collar thread.
10. Connect the TSIM cable (dump cable) to the LTB modem, screw it together correctly. If necessary, secure the modem
to protect from water/humidity.About Bull Plugs:
11. Apply some lubriplate on the O-rings before installation of the Bull plug into the tool. Install the Bull plug and torque to
80 lbf.ft with a 1/2-in drive wrench extension.
12. Prepare the LTB modem with wires and wet stab adaptors, a 1/2-in socket set to unscrew extender cup, Male Wet-
Stab (S-289001) and Female Wet-Stab (S-289007).
13. Prepare a 1/2 in socket extension to remove a Bull plug to install the exstender for programming. If a one piece
extensor is not available, the socket extension part must be secured together to ensure it won't be left in the tool using adequate
tape.
14. Clean the thread and saver sub from inside on the side of the tool you are going to connect to. If you run TeleScope
standalone or with Motor only first you have to remove the Bull plug and install the extender to be able to connect to the tool.
15. Use a long 1/2-in socket extension to remove the Bull plug.
16. Choose the appropriate extender: See table to identify the one required: working in the reverse order will install the
