 Case History - Recent Hot-Tap / Valve Drilling
Hot-tapping 2” solid bull-plug

A solid 2” LP plug was screwed into a companion flange outboard of surface casing outlet.
There was no way to remove the plug safely or monitor the pressure behind the plug. A
special Saddle was designed to seal on bull plug allowing Boots & Coots to safely hot tap
the plug at a thirty five degree angle to fully penetrate through to the annulus of the well. The
plug was successfully hot-tapped, trapped pressure bled-down, hot tapped plug was
removed, and proper pressure monitoring equipment was installed.

Hot-tapping 4 ½ drill pipe and Freezing

While drilling a horizontal well the Customer drilled into pay zone unexpectedly.
They took a kick, backside, and drill pipe were bridged off not allowing
circulation. All well control equipment was rated for 10k. Drill pipe had 8500psi
with the top drive safety valve leaking by. Boots & Coots was mobilized to hot
tap 4 ½ “drill pipe and perform a cryogenic freeze operation to safely install a
tree assembly on the drill pipe to gain safe access to the well bore. After the
work tree was installed on the drill pipe and Boots & Coots had safe access to
the well bore Boots & Coots then had the capability to perform a proper kill
procedure.

 Case History - Recent Hot-Tap / Valve Drilling
Hot-tapping of 2 7/8 ” Production tubing

Prior to pulling the production string out of the hole (on a live well) with a hydraulic work-
over unit wireline plugs were set in the tubing to provide the required barriers. Once the
tubing joints that contained the plugs reached surface the joints were hot-tapped between
the plugs to relieve the pressure. This operation was performed on approximately 6 wells;
as this operation was performed off-line there were no delays in operations.

Drilling out frozen gate valve tree

The stem of a 5 1/8 10k manual gate valve rigged up on a test tree was broken
during testing operations. As the valve was located in the test tree assembly it
had to be drilled-out to allow access to the test string tubing. A valve drilling unit
was rigged-up and a series of holes, each increasing in size, were drilled into the
gate. The drilling operation was a success and full-bore access to the tubing was
re-established. Wire-line plugs were set in the tubing and the faulty equipment
was replaced.

 Case History – Freeze Job
Freezing 2” Coiled Tubing

During a cobra frac operation coil tubing was running in hole to open the sliding sleeves for frac
operation when the coiled tubing began leaking at the crossover. Boots & Coots then froze the coiled
tubing between the gooseneck and the reel allowing a certified welder to safely and properly patch weld
the connection to stop the leak. Well had 4600 psi on the coiled tubing.
