Field Running Procedure of FLUSHMAX-II and FLUSHMAX-III


(Rev.14 : Added Torque values for 10-3/4”x60.7# and 10-3/4”x65.7#)

CONFIDENTIAL
1. Running Precaution
1.1 Pipe shall not be stacked higher than five tiers at the rig.
1.2 Wooden dunnage shall be placed between successive layers.
1.3 Thread protector should always remain in place when moving or handling.
1.4 Avoid rough handling. Do not unload pipe by dropping.

2. Running Preparation
2.1 Thread compound that was applied to the connections may have been
contaminated during storage and should be removed prior to running operations.
The handling plugs that are used in the running operation for the FLUSHMAX-II and
FLUSHMAX-III connection require the box connection to be properly cleaned prior
to installation of the handling plug.
Diesel oil shall not be used to clean connection.
2.2 Ensure the thread compound is available
API RP 5A3 modified or Best-o-life 2000 is recommended unless customer specifies
otherwise.
2.3 Handling Plug should be installed before lifting FLUSHMAX-II or FLUSHMAX-III.
2.4 Locking slip type elevators are recommended (not spring loaded type elevators) and
should be of the correct size and length to accommodate the casing.
Make certain that the slip type elevators are in good working condition, so as to not
cause ovality in the pipe.
2.5 You should not use collar type elevators on this size of material as this would put all
of the string weight onto the face of the handling plug that was screwed into the box
connection.
2.6 Check for traveling block alignment.
2.7 Power tongs with lead line at 90 degrees and level with tong.
Ensure that accurate torque monitoring device is available.
2.8 Make sure that the meter indicates torque (ft-lbs) or load (lbs).

3. Running
3.1 It is recommended to use stabbing guide applied to box of the pipe set in the slip.
3.2 Pick-up a joint form the rack to the vee door with the pin protector in place. The box
protector should be removed when the joint of pipe is in the vee door of the rig.
FMAX-II RP- 01 P. 1 of 5 Rev. 14
Install the handling plug into the clean box connection.
Make sure the elevator is securely clamped.
3.3 Remove the Handling Plug and apply an even coat of thread compound to the box
connection with a brush.
3.4 Remove the pin protector and apply thread compound on the 100% pin threads with
a brush.
3.5 Lower joint, pin into box. Ensure alignment before stabbing

4. Make-up
4.1 It is critical during the initial stabbing and make-up that the pipe be maintained in a
true vertical position. Vertical alignment is that is the position of the pin connections
in relationship to the box connection in the rotary table. Vertical alignment must be
maintain during the make-up of the connections.
4.2 Make up torque : See Appendix
Appendix A Torque Table (ft-lbs )
Appendix B Torque Table ( N - m )
4.3 It is strongly recommended to lower the RPM prior to shouldering less than 10 RPM
to avoid over-shooting of torque. In the case of pressure gauge is used instead of
torque meter, Hydraulic pressure equivalent to recommended torque shall be
converted from torque - pressure chart.
4.4 For first 10 joints, check make up position
External shoulder shall be completely closed.
If the external shoulder is not closed, then increase the torque until the shoulder is
closed. Torque may be deviated from the recommendation depending on grease
used, and very hot or very cold temperature may change friction factor of grease.

5. PULLING
5.1 Preparation
5.1.1 Same precaution shall be paid as running
5.1.2 Clean thread protector should be available prior to laying down.
5.2 Breaking out
5.2.1 Back up tong shall be applied on the location about 1 foot from box face.
5.2.2 After breaking loose, great care should be paid not to overspin to prevent
galling.
5.2.3 Great care should be exercised to disengage all of the thread before lifting a
pipe out of Box connection.

6. Definition in the document


6.1 Handling Plug
FMAX-II RP- 01 P. 2 of 5 Rev. 14
Handling plugs are designed to be installed hand tight into the box connection and
are used during general running operations and are NOT intended to hold string
weight.
6.2 Lifting Plug
Lifting plugs are designed to lift the entire string weight. If the customer needs lifting
plugs, then please contact a Metal-One representative.
