    Stuck Pipe Freeing Worksheet

    Uploaded by

    Adeel Nensey
    This document provides instructions for resolving a stuck pipe situation based on the identified sticking mechanism. It includes a worksheet to determine the sticking mechanism by analyzing factors like pipe motion before and after sticking, ability to rotate or circulate afterwards, and totaling the numbers in each column. The highest column total indicates the sticking mechanism, whether it is pack-off, bridge, or differential, and directs the user to specific initial and secondary actions depending on the situation.

    FREEDOM WELLBORE GEOMETRY


    INITIAL ACTION:
    1. If sticking occurred while moving up, apply torque and jar
    DOWN with maximum trip load.
    If sticking occurred while moving down, do not apply torque
    and jar UP with maximum trip load.

    2. Stop or reduce circulation when cocking the jar and when


    jarring down. NOTE: Pump presswure will INCREASE the
    hydraulic jar up-blow, DECREASE the down-blow.

    3. Continue jarring until the string is free or an alternative


    decision is made. Jarring for 10+ hours may be necessary.
    SECONDARY ACTION:
    Spot acid if stuck in Limestone or Chalk. Spot fresh water if
    stuck in mobile salt.
    WHEN THE STRING COMES FREE:
    4. Increase circulation to maximum rate, rotate and work
    the string.
    5. Ream/backream the hole section thoroughly.

    Answer the shaded questions by circling all the numbers in the row with the correct
    answer.
    Add the columns, the column with the highest number indicates the sticking mechanism.

    6. Circulate the hole clean.


    7. Underream hole section or remediate in another way.

    FREEDOM PACK-OFF / BRIDGE


    STUCK WHILE MOVING UP or WITH STRING STATIC
    ACTION TO ESTABLISH CIRCULATION:
    1. Apply low pump pressure (200-400) psi. Maintain
    pressure if restricted circulation is possible

    STUCK WHILE MOVING DOWN


    ACTION TO ESTABLISH CIRCULATION:
    1. Apply low pump pressure (200-400) psi.
    Maintain pressure if restricted circulation is
    possible

    2. DO NOT JAR UP!! APPLY TORQUE!!! Slack-off to


    MAXIMUM set down weight. Allow sufficient time
    for a hydraulic jar to trip (4-6 min. for long cycle, see
    jar manual)

    2. DO NOT JAR DOWN!! APPLY TORQUE!!!


    Apply MAXIMUM overpull to jar. Allow
    sufficient time for a hydraulic jar to trip (4-6
    min. for long cycle, see jar manual)

    3. If the string does not come free, DO NOT JAR


    UP!!! Jar DOWN until the string comes free or an
    alternative decision is made. Jarring down for 10+
    hours may be necessary.

    3. If the string does not come free, DO NOT


    JAR DOWN!!! Jar UP until the string comes
    free or an alternative decision is made.
    Jarring up for 10+ hours may be necessary.

    ONCE CIRCULATION IS ESTABLISHED


    4. Slowly increase pump speed to maximum rate.
    When possible, work the string and circulate the
    hole clean from bit depth.
    5. Ream the section until the hole is clean

    ONCE CIRCULATION IS ESTABLISHED


    4. Slowly increase pump speed to maximum
    rate. When possible, work the string and
    circulate the hole clean from bit depth.
    5. Ream the section until the hole is clean

    6. If POOH to log and or run casing return to bottom


    & circulate hole clean

    6. Continue RIH until excessive set down


    weight is observed, circulate hole clean.

    FREEDOM DIFFERENTIAL STICKING


    Not on bottom
    INITIAL ACTION:

    1. Circulate at maximum allowable rate.


    2. Work Maximum limit torque down to the
    stuck depth and hold the torque in the
    string.
    3. Stop or reduce pump speed to minimum.
    4. Slack-off MAXIMUM set down limit!
    5. Allow sufficient time for a hydraulic jar to
    trip (4-6 min. for long cycle, see jar manual).
    6. If the string does not come free, hold
    torque in the string and continue jaring
    down with maximum trip load.
    SECONDARY ACTION:
    If the string does not come free after 5 to 10
    jar blows, continue jarring while preparing a
    pipe releasing pill.
    WHEN THE STRING IS FREE:
    7. Rotate & work the string.
    8. Circ. at max. rate to clean the hole.
    9. Check the proper mud specifications.
