Operations

2009 Oct

Cuulong Oil Company offshore Vung Tay jack-up Galveston Key

Went offshore to conduct a fishing job for PVD service company as Slickline Supervisor as rig had lost three working days and had to move onto next location.

Initially had a meeting with the company man on board decided on a plan of action and to suet his requirements I decided to plug the well below the SSSV at 3.813” X Nipple, close the SSSV conduct an in-flow test then set a back pressure valve in the tubing hanger. Nipple down the BOPs and nipple up the Surface Xmas Tree. We managed to do all this in a very time effective mode then the cantilever deck was pulled back into the stored position and all the Slick line equipment was moved onto the production and I carried out a totally independent fishing job and had the well cleared out before the rig was ready to move, company man was very happy as he could not believe this could have happened so fast and effective.

We ran five wireline trucks on a daily basis which were responsible for wax cutting of approximately fifteen wells per truck every day, this was a vital part of the operations as the oil produced from this field was extremely heavy and if left for a short period of time would block the well bores and production would come to a complete halt.

We also conducted all standard wireline operations from a specially designated wireline truck this unit was responsible for all standard well interventions including setting of a range of down hole equipment’s , including :a range of plugs of various types , gas lift installation and recovery , running of Metrolog pressure / temperature gauges and final reports of recorded well data’s.

Fishing operations were conducted and supervised by myself and utilized 0.125” wireline and a complete range of Petroline heavy duty fishing equipment, this equipment was also utilized by different company’s in the region as there was from time to time a requirement for heavy duty fishing operations and no other equipment available.

Initially based in Radoushney western Siberia, I worked for Schlumberge as a Wellservises / Slickline supervisor.

I was working for Occidental Oil Company in a field called Van Yogan seventy miles north of Radoushney.

This was a low pressure field and a lot of the work was involved with work over and completion of wells.

A lot of the work involved, having to swab the wells in as they were low pressure and required swabbing to unload and remove the overbalance to allow the wells to flow naturally , this was a very low cost solution and a very successful alternative to more advanced solutions.

I also did a lot of very remote work in Siberia within in the Artic regions where you were flown to location with your equipment and camp plus your supplies , where you had to cater for yourself, get the job done with what you had and get back to civilization

I have worked all over the CIS. In many different countries including most of the former Soviet states and must say that I really enjoyed it very much.

I lived in Moscow for close on ten years and learned to speak Russian very well.

1986-1992

Occidental Caledonia Scotland: Employed as wire line operator running all operations offshore on Claymore Alpha & Piper Alpha. I was Transferred to Sub Sea Operations: Scapa Field Project to work on semi-submersible rigs for well completions, walkovers etc.

This system was deployed from the moon pool aria in the center of the ship, lowered to the wellhead and connected by guide wires and diver assistance and hydraulic manipulation.

The Vessel had a DPS (Dynamic Poisoning System).And had a full compensation workover derrick to allow the Vessel to work in sea conditions of approximately three meters.

All said this was a very interesting project to have been involved in and gave me a far greater understanding on sub-sea well head equipment and Well Intervention Procedures.

Definitely the most interesting and enjoyable Project I was ever involved in.

I became a chief operator after three years and was assigned to work on the Beatrice field in the moray firth sector of the North Sea.

This was a field utilizing submersible pump systems and a lot of workovers were planed and implemented, which gave me a lot of Completion exposure and experience as these well were highly divested and many problems were encountered.

The north sea provided the best training ground that I have ever came across in the world and if you can work within this environment you can probably work just about anywhere in the world.
