1.4 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Depth Control is perhaps the easiest measurement to acquire. Yet it is the single most important
measurement provided, as it is associated with every down hole logging operation performed. For
this reason it must be accurate, and consistently repeatable.

Page 1 Revision: December 15, 1993

 LOGGING AND PERFORATING FOM SECTION 1.1.01
1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION DEPTH CONTROL

Nature of Measurement

The most obvious method of depth control is the measurement of the expended cable. This is
achieved by the use of a either a single or dual measuring wheel system. The measuring wheels are
mounted tangentially and are held in constant contact with the cable. The axle of the measuring
wheel is connected to an optical encoder and a mechanical odometer (which serves as a fail safe
back-up). As the cable is reeled in or out, the measuring wheel revolves and the optical encoder
outputs a fixed number of pulses per revolution.

As the circumference of each measuring wheel is known, the depth can be updated by the surface
system by counting the number of pulses per revolution and dividing it by the number of pulses per
depth unit.

Obviously this system is not sufficient for accurate depth control without some form of external
reference to verify the depth reading. It is at this point that a separation between Cased and Open
Hole depth control can be made.

Cased hole depth control requires correlation to a down hole reference. This could be an Open hole
gamma ray log or some item of down hole hardware such as a casing collar or production packer.

Open hole depth control cannot rely on a down hole reference as more often than not they will be
the first logs run in the well. There will be a casing point but that could be thousands of feet away
from TD. Another external reference is required and that is provided by the use of magnetic marks
on the cable. These are applied at known fixed distances apart at a constant tension. In an Open hole
situation, the magnetic marks become the primary depth reference with the encoder depths being
used only to interpolate between the marks. However, as the distance between the marks on the cable
will vary depending on the tension, it can be seen that an accurate tension measurement is also
desirable. By utilizing magnetic marks and cable tension, the stretch in the cable can be calculated
and the correct tool depth determined.

1.5 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

An understanding of the individual parts of the depth control system is necessary to preserve its
accuracy.
1
Cable

Permanent stretch occurs during the cables "break in" or "seasoning period". This is usually the
first 25 - 30 runs of the cable (or section of the cable). This is permanent stretch meaning that the
cable will not return to its original length once the tension is released. Typical values are 0.2% to
0.5% of stretch before being stabilized at 40% of the breaking strength of the cable. For example
approximately 30 pulls of 7200 lbs on 10,000 feet of a typical 7 /16 ", 7 conductor cable will result in
permanent stretch of 50 feet.

1
Cable parameters in English and Metric units are shown on pages 33 & 34.

Revision: December 15, 1993 Page 2

 LOGGING AND PERFORATING FOM SECTION 1.1.01
1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION DEPTH CONTROL

Any further pulls of 7200 lbs will not permanently stretch the cable. However, it is important to note
that 30 pulls at 5000 lbs would probably stabilize that section of cable to 5000 lbs, but if the cable
is pulled to 6000 lbs more permanent stretch will occur.

Also note that the cable will only be seasoned to the lowest value of total tension applied over a
series of runs, and only over the length of cable corresponding to the shallowest depth reached.

Permanent Stretch cannot be compensated for in depth measurements.

Elastic stretch is the elongation of the cable which occurs every time it is run in the hole. It is a
reasonably constant factor and must be compensated for in depth measurements. 2 Elastic stretch can
be determined from either of two sets of cable stretch charts for the cable being used, or calculated
from equations (1) or (2). Equation (1) refers to True Depth and should be used when the driller does
not correct his depths for drill pipe stretch. Equation (2) refers to Drillers depth where the depths
have been corrected for drill pipe stretch. Both the charts and the equations incorporate the K factor
of the cable, which is a measure of the cables stretch per 100 feet at 1000 lbs tension. The stretch
value is then applied to the present depth to give a stretch corrected depth.

K is the cable stretch coefficient per 100 feet per 1000 lbs.
L is the length of cable in the well.
T is the cable tension measured at surface.
W is the effective tool string weight (in fluid).
K2 is the drill pipe stretch coefficient, (this value is 4.63 x 10 -8 ft/ft 2 in the
DADS Firmware).

Elastic Stretch Hysteresis accounts for the failure of a logging cable to regain its original length
immediately following the removal of any tension placed upon it. Although a logging cable has a
stretch coefficient similar to that of a helical spring, it acts differently. Once a load is removed from
a spring it will return to its original length immediately. However once a load is removed from a
logging cable it can take up to two hours to return to its original length.

Cable Stretch Charts for True Depth and Drillers Depth are shown on pages 40 - 57.

 LOGGING AND PERFORATING FOM SECTION 1.1.01
1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION DEPTH CONTROL

Magnetic Marks are applied to the logging cable every 100 feet with 1000 lbs of tension applied
to the cable, or every 25 or 50 metres with 500 kg of tension applied to the cable. Cable marking is
normally carried out every month or sooner if the marks have become weak or have been erased for
some reason. As magnetic marks supply the primary depth control reference, it is important that they
are functional, cover the entire length of the cable, and that all the old marks have been erased when
the new marks are installed.

Mark Detector

A mark detector is housed in the measuring head for the purpose of detecting the magnetic marks
on the cable. A mark of greater that 3 gauss is required by the mark detector for a valid mark. The
detected marks are fed to the surface system.

Measuring Wheel

The measuring wheel is precision machined to 7.639" in diameter (two feet in circumference). There
are two measuring wheels in the Wayne Kerr measuring head and one in the Straight Line measuring
head. Any small change in the circumference of the wheel will cause the depth read by the optical
encoders and the mechanical odometer to be incorrect. For example if the wheel is worn then the
encoder depth will be shallow, the situation will be opposite if the wheel is oversized due to mud or
ice build up on its surface. Compensation can be made in all situations by operator input to the
surface system to compensate for wheel error, but some form of external reference is required in
order to calculate the corrections required. In Cased hole this would require correction to a down
hole reference or previously run log. In Open hole magnetic marks would be the reference.

Optical Encoder

There are two types of optical encoders available. The "G" series encoder (one of which is normally
fitted to the Straight Line measuring head), has an output of 600 pulses per foot, whereas the "W"
series encoder (two of which are normally fitted to the Wayne Kerr measuring head), has an output
of 300 pulses per foot. The output of each optical encoder is fed into the surface system for
processing. The direction is obtained from the difference in phase between the pulses present on the
A & B (Up/Down) lines after processing is completed.

Load Cell

The Load Cell is a weight measurement device which outputs the combined weight of the tool and
the logging cable. Ideally it should form the link between the top sheave wheel and the T-bar. It can
be mounted as the link between the lower sheave wheel and its stand, or a tie down chain when
necessary. However, this situation will need to be compensated for during the tension calibration.
The table below shows the specifications of the ISI flat load cells which are now being provided as
standard. They will replace the Sensotec and BLH load cells which are now obsolete.

Line Load Module (LLM)

The LLM provides power to the load cell circuit and processes the load cell output. This is routed
to two displays (Total Load and Differential Load) on the front of the panel and also output as a
tension input to the logging system. For further details of the LLM operation refer to the Excell
subsection.

Tension Interface

The Tension Interface is required when using the LLM with the PLS system. For further details of
the Tension Interface and LLM, refer to the PLS II section.

Tension Indicator Panel (TIP-B)

The TIP supplies power to the load cell. It receives the tension from the load cell as a current. The
TIP converts the current to drive an analog tension display for the reel operator, and provides an
output current proportional to the cable tension which is sent to the DISP. For further details of the
TIP, refer to the PLS II subsection.

Reel Operators Panel (ROP-A & ROP-B)

The ROP provides the reel operator with a depth display. There are two versions of the ROP. The
main difference between them is the form of the depth which is displayed. For further details of the
ROP, refer to the PLS II subsection.

Digital Advanced Depth System (DADS) Panel

The primary purpose of the DADS panel is to collect the raw data from the magnetic mark detector,
encoders and load cell. The panel is capable of storing cable data and applying it to calculate cable
stretch from the tension being applied to the cable. The depth is then corrected and sent to the ROP
and DISP for further processing. For further details of the DADS Panel, refer to the PLS II
subsection.

Rig up the sheaves and cable and place the Load Cell with the top sheave so that it is supporting the
weight of the sheave and the cable. The tool string should not be connected and the cable head
allowed to rest on the rig floor.

2.1.2 SHOP CALIBRATION

The line tension system does not require shop calibration other than to verify that all its components
are in working order. However, the PLS system requires a software Shop Calibration (usually
performed on location) every 30 days. This provides the gain and offset values so that the correct
tension can be output on the log.

2.1.3 FIELD CALIBRATION

Line Load Module (LLM)-(Excell)

Preparation

To ensure the accuracy of the tension measurement, the calibration procedure must be performed
each time the LLM is used. Check the cabling, J9 to the 12v power source, J10 to the EXCELL
system, and J11 to the load cell. Be sure the connectors are tight. Upon completion of the rig-up
procedures turn the LLM POWER switch on. (Allow a minimum of 5 minutes for the LLM to warm
up).

Note

After connecting the load cell cable to the load cell, apply power to the LLM and depress
the Cal button. Verify that the LLM digital readout displays approximately 3250 lbs
indicating the load cell and LLM are functioning properly. If not, investigate the problem
before continuing with the rig-up procedures.

Calibration

Using the COARSE ZERO ADJUST and ZERO ADJUST on front panel of the LLM, set the digital
meter to read all zeros. TOTAL LOAD and DIFF LOAD meters should also read zero.

Depress the PUSH TO CAL button. Using the COARSE CAL ADJUST and FINE CAL ADJUST
on front panel of the LLM, set the digital meter on front panel to read 3250. The TOTAL LOAD
section of analog meter should read the same value as the digital meter. The DIFF LOAD section
should also read zero. Release the PUSH TO CAL button.

Note

The Zero and Cal adjust pots on the LLM are interactive. It will be necessary to repeat the
Zero and Cal steps until both meter readings are correct.

Revision: December 15, 1993 Page 8

The calibration value normally used is 3250. However, as explained earlier this would be dependent
on the fleeting angle
being zero. For a non-zero
value, a new calibration value must be used and
it can be calculated using equation (3).

should be applied after all preceding steps are performed to ensure correct operation of system

Tension Interface Panel (TIP)-(PLS)

Preparation

To ensure the accuracy of the tension measurement, the calibration procedure must be performed for
the TIP and the DADS panel each time the tension system is used.

Note

After connecting the load cell cable to the load cell apply power to the surface system and
depress the cal button on the TIP. Verify that the DADS digital readout and the analog
meter on the TIP both read approximately 10,000 lbs indicating the load cell, DADS and
TIP are functioning properly. If not investigate the problem before continuing with the rig-
up procedures.

The following procedure details both software and hardware steps. The software steps are bracketed
and need only be repeated once every 30 days or if new software, load cell or system panels are used.
The hardware steps would be performed as a Field Calibration of the tension system before every
job.

Calibration

(Load the Class software and with the system downloaded to a test signal, enter the Tension Shop
Calibration routine. Enter the unit number for the tension serial number).

Press the ZERO button followed by the TENSION button on the DADS panel.

Zero the analog meter on the TIP using the ZERO ADJUST.

(Take the zero reading in the tension calibration routine).

Depress the ZERO button on the TIP. This will send the zero value to the DADS panel. Release the
ZERO button once all readings are complete.

Depress the CAL button on the TIP and wait for the needle on the analog meter to stop. Using the
CAL ADJUST set the needle to read 10,000 lbs.3 The DADS panel will automatically calibrate to
10,000 lbs once the CAL button is depressed.

(Take a reading of 10,000 lb for the tension calibrate value, in the tension calibration routine).

Release the CAL button once all readings are complete.

(Save the calibration results and compare them to those from the previous month).

To apply a new calibration value, repeatedly press the DATA button on the DADS panel until the
SCALE FACTOR is displayed. Press the UPDATE key and enter the SCALE FACTOR. The new
SCALE FACTOR should be applied after all preceding steps are performed to ensure correct
operation of system

Depress the CAL button on the TIP and wait for the needle on the analog meter to stop. Keep the
CAL button depressed and using the CAL ADJUST set the needle to read the same value as that read
from the DADS panel. The value read by the DADS panel can be obtained from equation (3), by
using 10,000 in place of 3250 and the value entered for the SCALE FACTOR as

Line Load Module (LLM)-(PLS)

Preparation

To ensure the accuracy of the tension measurement, the calibration procedure must be performed
each time the LLM is used. Check all cabling between the LLM and the load cell, Tension Interface
Assembly, DADS panel and the truck wiring. Be sure the connectors are tight. Upon completion of
the rig-up procedures, turn the LLM POWER switch on. (Allow a minimum of 5 minutes for the
LLM to warm up).

The following procedure details both software and hardware steps. The software steps are bracketed

Depress the PUSH TO CAL button. Using the COARSE CAL ADJUST and FINE CAL ADJUST
on front panel of the LLM, set the digital meter on front panel to read 3250. The TOTAL LOAD
section of analog meter should read the same value as the digital meter, the DIFF LOAD section
should also read zero.4 The DADS panel will sense the increase in tension and after waiting for the
reading to stabilize, will measure the calibration value.

(Take a reading of 3250 lb for the tension calibrate value, in the tension calibration routine).

Once all readings have been completed release the PUSH TO CAL button.

2.2 TRANSPORTATION, HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handle load cells with care as the electrical connections can be easily deformed or broken. Avoid
any external mechanical shocks as the strain gauge may be damaged. Positioning the load cell on the
lower sheave will increase the chances of mechanical shock.

Do not crush or pinch load cell cables and set up barricades or warning signs to prevent damage from
any traffic. Keep all connections dry and capped when not in use.

Check all mechanical and electrical lines and connections between the unit and the measuring head
and ensure that there is sufficient slack to allow full travel of the spooling arm.

Secure load cells in the correct transportation fixtures when not in use. Ensure that this is in a dry
area to prevent moisture entering connectors or penetrating the internal strain gauge and amplifier.

Spool load cell cables neatly onto their supply reels and ensure that all connections are capped.

Secure the measuring head in the transportation fixture or remove it when not in use.

2.3 WELL SITE OPERATIONS (OPEN HOLE)

2.3.1 PREPARATION

Rig up the sheaves and cable placing the load cell in an appropriate position as detailed in section
2.1.1, (Preparation).

Perform the Tension Calibration as detailed in section 2.1.3, (Field Calibration).

Revision: December 15, 1993 Page 12

 LOGGING AND PERFORATING FOM SECTION 1.1.01
2.0 OPERATIONS DEPTH CONTROL

The distance from the bottom of the tool to the first magnetic mark is an important measurement.
As two methods of terminating the cable are currently in use, the following physical measurements
must be recorded.

A is the length of cable from the torpedo to the first mark.

B is the length of the bridle, (from cable head to the torpedo).
C is the distance from the cable head to the tool string reference point.

For cables which do not use the torpedo and bridle, A & B will be combined to be one measurement
from the cable head to the first mark.

Ensure that the correct mark interval is entered into the DADS panel or the Excell system Software
Depth Panel.

Note

The distance from the torpedo or cable head to the first mark can be easily measured and
fixed after the cable has been marked by cutting the cable on a mark. Alternatively, the
first and second marks can also be flagged using shim stock or another permanent method
if cutting and discarding cable is not desirable.

Always ensure that the Encoder Factors from the last job are entered into the DADS panel
on PLS, and the Wheel Error from the last job is entered into the Excell System Software
Depth Panel before starting the job.

Rig up the tool string and zero the tool string reference point (usually the bottom of the tool) with
the drillers measurement reference on the rig (usually the Kelly Bushing or Rotary Table). In most
cases, the tool string will be too long to accomplish this. In this case pick a reference point on the
tool string (usually a sensor point) with a known depth offset. Always start by lowering the tool 10
feet and pulling back up to the reference point. Zero the mechanical odometer and set the system
depth counters to either zero or the required depth offset. Zero the DADS panel thus intializing the
encoder data and reading the cable tension to establish effective tool weight, before entering the
depth offset. The line sag correction can also be applied at this point if desired, (see page 17).

Lower the tool into the well and note the position of the last cable wrap when the cable head or
torpedo is level with the rotary table. This will prevent pulling into any surface obstruction such as
a line wiper or pack off when retrieving the tool string from the well.

Page 13 Revision: December 15, 1993

 LOGGING AND PERFORATING FOM SECTION 1.1.01
2.0 OPERATIONS DEPTH CONTROL

2.3.2 LOGGING

Note

Estimated stretch corrections calculated from cable parameters, mud parameters and
effective tool weight are applied to the depth when using the DADS panel (unless another
stretch correction is specified, see page 16). The depth to which this estimated stretch
correction is applied is based purely on magnetic marks, unless they are disabled, when
encoder depths will be used.

The Excell system runs from encoder depth only while running in the hole and corrects to
magnetic marks while logging. Stretch corrections are applied manually from computer
keyboard entries into the Software Depth Panel.

Lower the tool into the well and locate the first mark at the unit. Proceed 10 feet deeper and pull
back up to locate the mark again. Flag the cable and record the depth reading as the first mark at unit
(FMAU).

Lower the tool until the FMAU is 10 feet below the Rotary table. Pull back up and position the mark
at the drillers measurement reference point. Record this depth as the first mark at well (FMAW).
Enter the Top Mark value as the last two digits of the recorded depth of the FMAW into the Excell
system Software Depth Panel.

The distance from the unit measuring head to the measurement reference point is now known and
is equal to the difference between the FMAU and the FMAW. This measurement is important as it
serves as a reference of the position of the unit and rig up equipment. The distance from the FMAW
to the tool string reference point is independent of the position of the sheaves and unit and can be
calculated from equation (4).

FMAW = A + B + C + (MARK INTERVAL x X) (4)

Where X is any integer.

As soon as the tool string is in fluid determine the effective tool weight by recording the tension
value whilst pulling up at logging speed with any calipers in the tool string open.

While descending at a low speed determine the encoder factors which represent the mechanical
wheel error. Use the AUX 05 function of the DADS panel to display the values for encoders 1 & 2,
and AUX 07 function of the DADS panel to calculate the values for encoders 1 & 2. Record the
values as they are invaluable should the magnetic marks fail.

Revision: December 15, 1993 Page 14

 LOGGING AND PERFORATING FOM SECTION 1.1.01
2.0 OPERATIONS DEPTH CONTROL

Lower the tool below the casing point. Determine the necessary stretch correction using either cable
stretch charts, calculation or the DADS panel and apply it, (see page 16). Log up at normal logging
speed with any calipers open and record the position of the casing shoe. Verify the position versus
the drillers depth and make any necessary depth offset.

Note

Re-enter the logging depth on the computer and ROP following any changes to the depth
offset. Changes to depth on the DADS panel will not change these depths.

Proceed down hole. Stop at a depth equal to the difference between the FMAU and the FMAW plus
one mark interval above TD.

Lower the tool slowly and locate a mark at the unit. Proceed 10 feet deeper and pull back up to locate
the mark again. Flag the cable and record the depth reading as the second mark at unit (SMAU).

Lower the tool until the SMAU is 10 feet below the Rotary table. Pull back up and position the mark
at the drillers measurement reference point. Record this depth as the second mark at well (SMAW).

Verify that the difference between the FMAU and the FMAW and between the SMAU and the
SMAW is the same proving that neither the unit nor rig up equipment have moved.

When using the Excell system the difference between the FMAW and the SMAW (accounting for
the whole number of marks which have passed) should correspond to the cable stretch plus wheel
error. With PLS the difference should be between the estimated stretch and the stretch computed
from the load cell tension.

Determine the necessary stretch correction using either cable stretch charts, calculation or the DADS

Stretch Corrections PLS

Note

Whenever "S" is being monitored the tool should be logged in the up direction at normal
logging speed with any calipers open.

Press the DELTA L button on the DADS panel. The current values of estimated stretch (ADJ) and
the stretch calculated from the load cell tension (S) will be displayed.

Determine the stretch from the appropriate cable stretch chart and compare the value obtained to that
displayed for S. If the value of S is correct press the UPDATE button to apply it.

If it is necessary to make a numeric entry the first digit pressed will indicate the sign, 0 positive and
any other digit negative. A cursor will appear and a prompt to enter the desired value. If the entry
is too large the panel will not accept the value and a new prompt will appear. Press ENTER to input
the new value.

Note

Re-enter the logging depth on the computer and ROP following any changes to stretch
corrections. Changes to depth on the DADS panel will not change these depths.

Stretch Correction Excell

Stretch corrections are applied manually from computer keyboard entries into the software Depth
Panel.

Enter the Bottom mark (SMAW).

Following the answer of yes to the prompt About to apply wheel correction are you sure?, the
system will calculate the distance between the top and bottom mark and a wheel error disregarding
the effect of cable stretch in the calculation.

Record the wheel error for future use. The depth display will be updated to reflect the new wheel
error.

Enter the stretch correction in Stretch Amount. The value will be added to the depth display.
Determine from the cable stretch charts the depth at which zero stretch will occur and enter the value
(to the nearest mark) in Stretch Zone Top.

Revision: December 15, 1993 Page 16

 LOGGING AND PERFORATING FOM SECTION 1.1.01
2.0 OPERATIONS DEPTH CONTROL

Providing the Mark Correction Option is set to Automatic then the system will correct depth to
the last measured mark and remove stretch linearly between the Bottom mark and the Stretch Zone
Top.

If the Mark Correction Option is set to Manual. Then the engineer has 10 feet to accept the mark
manually. If accepted the system will continue in automatic mode, otherwise the mark will be
ignored.

Line Sag Correction

Line Sag Correction can be applied to compensate for the sag between the unit and bottom sheave
whilst there is little tension in the line. The sag will disappear as the tension increases. The sag can
be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem assuming the cable to represent two right angled
triangles. As the distance from the unit to the lower sheave and the amount of sag is known, then the
length of the sagging cable can be determined. The difference between the sagging cable length and
the distance between the unit and lower sheave will be the sag correction. The value will be
approximately 0.4 feet and can be added if desired when zeroing the tool string.

Encoder Factors/Wheel Error

Encoder Factors are calculated by the DADS panel continuously while running in the hole. The
values can be calculated or displayed by using the panels Auxiliary functions, see section 4.0,
(Appendix). The Wheel Error can be calculated using the same method, see equation (5).

Note

The DADS Panel will only compute the encoder factors in the down direction. The values
are not displayed while logging up.

Subsequent Runs

Enter the encoder factors or wheel error obtained on the previous run in the hole. This is insurance
against the loss of magnetic marks.

Page 17 Revision: December 15, 1993

 LOGGING AND PERFORATING FOM SECTION 1.1.01
2.0 OPERATIONS DEPTH CONTROL

Rig up the new tool string and zero the tool string reference point. Zero the mechanical odometer
and set the system depth counters to either zero or the required depth offset. Zero the DADS panel
thus intializing the encoder data and reading the cable tension to establish effective tool weight,
before entering the depth offset. The line sag correction can also be applied at this point if desired,
(see page 17).

Lower the tool below the casing point. Determine the necessary stretch correction using either cable
stretch charts, calculation or the DADS panel and apply it, (see page 16). Log up at normal logging
speed with any calipers open and record the position of the casing shoe. Verify the position versus
the previous run and make any necessary depth offset.

Tag TD. Determine the necessary stretch correction using either cable stretch charts, calculation or
the DADS panel and apply it (see page 16). Log up at normal logging speed with any calipers open.
Monitor the output log and perform a depth correlation to the previous run. If a depth offset is
required it can be entered at TD before the start of the main run.

Note

Re-enter the logging depth on the computer and ROP following any changes to the depth
offset. Changes to depth on the DADS panel will not change these depths.

Log the depth of the casing shoe. Providing that stretch corrections were applied when tagging its
depth on the way in the hole, there should be no discrepancy between the two depths.

Problems

Magnetic Marks

Problems may occur any time magnetic marks are lost for whatever reason. Having Encoder factors
and wheel errors from the last job is important. If magnetic marks are lost, encoder depths should
be accurate with the encoder factors or wheel error applied. Stretch corrections should still be
applied. The DADS panel will still apply stretch corrections over the whole well. The Excell
software will still apply a linear stretch correction based on the TD (Encoder depth plus Stretch
Amount) and the depth entered for the Stretch Zone Top.

False marks will not cause a depth problem providing valid marks are being detected at the correct
interval.

Marks outside of the mark window. If all marks are outside the mark window then the DADS
panel will report them all as false marks, Excell will loose mark detection. The situation can be
rectified by resetting the magnetic mark detection on the DADS panel using the AUX 17 function.

Revision: December 15, 1993 Page 18

 LOGGING AND PERFORATING FOM SECTION 1.1.01
2.0 OPERATIONS DEPTH CONTROL

Exercise care if valid marks are lost whilst running in and false marks at the correct interval are
subsequently detected. It is possible that the cable was only remarked to that point and the system
is now detecting marks from a previous cable marking job. Note the depth that the discrepancy
occurred so that the marks can be reset whilst coming out of the hole. This situation can cause
problems with Excell, the discrepancy in marks must not be attributed to wheel error. Calculate the
depth of the Bottom Mark based on the depth of the FMAW and then correct it for wheel error based
on the wheel error from the last run. Enter this depth for the Bottom Mark.

Continuous False Marks if false marks are continuous or at 2 foot intervals the measuring wheel/s
may have become magnetized. This can cause large depth discrepancies. Disable magnetic mark
correction. Demagnetize the measuring wheel at the first opportunity.

Encoder Failure

PLS operates from one encoder whilst monitoring the relative depth of the second encoder. Initially
the DADS panel will select the encoder with the greater data rate as the primary encoder. The
secondary encoder is monitored and if its depth difference with the primary encoder becomes greater
than 0.5 feet between two valid magnetic marks, the DADS panel will give an error message
indicating a faulty encoder. The message is cleared upon detection of the next valid magnetic mark,
allowing for the possibility of a temporary encoder problem. If the error message is persistent then
the encoder should be disabled using the correct DADS panel Auxiliary function, see section 4.0,
(Appendix) for details. Neither system can operate without a functioning encoder.

Refer to section 3.2, (Trouble shooting) for details of associated tension and mechanical problems
and to section 4.0, (Appendix) for information on the DADS panel.

2.4 WELL SITE OPERATIONS (CASED HOLE)

Depth correlation of Cased hole logs to Open hole logs is usually performed using the gamma ray
curve. Once a good correlation has been established, a Casing Collar Log can be used providing there
are sufficient down hole reference points to obtain an accurate correlation on subsequent runs.

2.4.1 PREPARATION

Rig up the sheaves and cable placing the load cell in an appropriate position as detailed in section
2.1.1, (Preparation).

Perform the Tension Calibration as detailed in section 2.1.3, (Field Calibration). This is required for
all systems to ensure the correct tension reading is displayed for the reel operator based on the
position of the load cell. When using the Success system, the tension calibration is required for the
correct output of tension on the log.

Page 19 Revision: December 15, 1993

 LOGGING AND PERFORATING FOM SECTION 1.1.01
2.0 OPERATIONS DEPTH CONTROL

Make a detailed drawing of the tool string including all sensor points and ensure that the total tool
length from the fishing neck on the cable head to the bottom of the tool is obtained.

A different rig may be used for remedial work from the one which drilled the well. Establish the
difference (if any) between the original measurement reference elevation, from the Open Hole log,
and the one being used by the present rig. Record this value to be used as a depth offset when zeroing
the tool string.

If the well is live and Well Head Equipment (WHE) is required, make a detailed drawing of the
WHE showing exact lengths, this can be used at a later date when zeroing the tool string.

If there is no rig on location, measure and record the distance from the Tubing Hanger (TH) to the
top of the Wireline BOP, (when offshore) and the Ground Level to the top of the Wireline BOP
(when on land). In cases of uncertainty, the distance from the TH to original measurement reference
point is usually included on the completion diagram. The Elevation above Ground Level can be read
from the Open Hole log. Using the above information together with the tool and WHE drawings,
calculate the position of the bottom of the tool with respect to the original measurement reference,
(when the tool string is pulled to the top of the riser). This is the depth offset which is to be entered
into the surface system when zeroing the tool string.

Rig up the tool string and zero the tool string reference point (usually the bottom of the tool) with
the drillers measurement reference on the rig (usually the Kelly Bushing or Rotary Table). Always
start by lowering the tool 10 feet and pulling back up to the reference point. Zero the mechanical
odometer and set the system depth counters to either zero or the required depth offset.

If WHE is being used, pull the tool string to the top of the riser, zero the mechanical counter and set
the system counters to the required depth offset. Record the position of the last wrap on the drum so
that the tool can be retrieved safely into the riser at the end of the job.

Try to establish the distance from the unit measuring head to the reference point at the well by the
use of a line flag. This measurement can be used if depth discrepancies occur whilst logging. Re-
checking the distance will establish whether the rig up equipment or unit has shifted.

Select a responsive section of the Open Hole gamma ray log closest to the interval to be logged. Run
the tool to this depth and record the section at normal logging speed in the up direction.

Over lay the log with the Open hole log and establish the depth offset. The depth offset will be made
up of cable stretch and measuring wheel error. By subtracting the calculated cable stretch from the
depth offset, an idea of the accuracy of the measuring wheel can be obtained. Run to TD or the
bottom of the logged interval and apply the depth offset.

Log up at normal logging speed and verify the depth correlation. If it is still incorrect, repeat the
previous step and try again.

Revision: December 15, 1993 Page 20

 LOGGING AND PERFORATING FOM SECTION 1.1.01
2.0 OPERATIONS DEPTH CONTROL

Look at the Casing Collar Log and verify if there are any good down hole reference points such as
short joints, DV Tools and packers. If so, then any subsequent runs would not require the use of a
gamma ray tool.

Once a depth correlation has been established, stop the drum whilst pulling up and flag the line using
electrical tape on the drum side of the measuring head. This reference will save time and achieve
quick depth correlation when performing multiple runs in the same well.

When approaching the surface, verify the noted position of the last wrap before pulling into the riser.

CAUTION

When using the line flag on subsequent runs, always remove the line flag before it runs
into the grease head if you are using WHE. Re-flag the line before pulling out of the hole.

CCL Depth Correlations

If depth correlating using the CCL only ensure that there are good down hole reference points on the
reference log.

Note

Casing collar correlations can sometimes be difficult to obtain accurately; collars may be
missed, casing joints may appear noisy masking the collar signals. Ferrous debris in the
hole can cause weak and noisy signals. Flush casing joints such as Hydril may not show
up very well. Reference logs may have been run with an amplified CCL in the tool string.
All these factors should be considered before choosing to correlate with the CCL only.
Ensure that a Gamma/CCL device (such as a Gamma Perforator) is available which is
capable of performing the service being run. If in any doubt, run the Gamma/CCL device.

If the only down hole references are odd length casing joints, ensure that when a depth correlation
is established between the recorded log and reference log, that the recorded log is moved up and
down hole by one casing joint to make sure that a correlation cannot be made at either of these
points.

3.2 TROUBLE SHOOTING

General

Locating problems within the depth system is a logical procedure. Look for problems with any of
the systems major components; tension, cable, measuring head or system panels. Once the faulty
system component has been identified, look for problems with the sub-components.

If a depth discrepancy is evident at any point in the run, locate a mark at the well, flag it and locate
its depth at the unit. Calculate the difference between the two marks and verify that it is equal to
FMAW-FMAU. If not, then something in the rig up equipment or the unit has moved. Locate the
source of the problem and make the necessary depth adjustment. The same depth adjustment can be
made by correcting the mark at the well to its correct position relative to the FMAW plus stretch.
However, it is preferable to find out if something has moved and prevent the problem reoccurring.

If the problem is not equipment movement, look for an obvious encoder or measuring wheel
problem, (see Encoder/Measuring Wheel).

Movement of rig up equipment can be monitored in cased hole when performing multiple runs by
monitoring the relative position of a line flag placed on the line near the zone of interest. Continuous
comparison with the reference log will indicate any discrepancy whilst logging. Knowing the
distance between the measuring head and the Rotary Table will help determine whether moving
equipment or measuring wheel/encoder problems are apparent. Another reference point on the well
side of the top sheave will be required if using WHE.

Tension

If water enters the load cell connectors the tension measurement will be erratic. Positioning the load
cell on the lower sheave will increase the risk of water entry. Ensure that strain relief is provided for
the cable to prevent excessive force being applied to the connectors.

An inaccurate or inconsistent tension measurement will cause the actual stretch reading (S) to be
calculated incorrectly by the DADS panel. Any values read from cable stretch charts using the
tension measurement would also be wrong. However, with regard to depth control, the problem can
be overcome. The DADS panel estimates stretch (ADJ) based on the cable parameters, this stretch
value can be used in place of that calculated from the tension reading.

If using Excell, the stretch value can be calculated from the tool weight and the cable parameters and
entered as the Stretch Amount in the software depth panel.

However isolating and repairing the problem is preferable, as an accurate cable tension is important
for other reasons. Look for loose or wet electrical connections and try to isolate the problems
between the load cell, cable or surface panels.

Cable

Cable problems are most likely to involve the magnetic marks in some way. The loss of magnetic
marks although undesirable, can be overcome. Running from encoder depth is acceptable providing
recent encoder factors/wheel errors are input into the system. Try to establish if the problem is with
the cable marks or the mark detector system with the use of a hand held mark detector. Mark strength
will need to be greater than 3 gauss to be detected by the system as a valid mark. Check that the mark
detector cabling and connectors are tight, dry and that the mark detector is not catching on the
logging cable. Ensure that the cabling is not being worn by any moving parts of the winch or
spooling system.

Permanent stretch can cause problems with magnetic marks even after the cable is seasoned. If
tension is exerted on the cable in excess of its previous maximum, then the distance between the
magnetic marks will be changed permanently. In this case magnetic mark correction should be
disabled. The cable will require remarking following any increase in Permanent Stretch.

Ensure that the correct load cell scale factor, cable and mud parameters have been stored in the
DADS panel. Ensure that the correct cable stretch is being used.

Measuring Wheel and Encoders

If encoder factors, depths and wheel errors are wrong, then attempt to isolate the problem between
the encoder and the measuring wheel. Check that encoder cabling and connectors are tight, dry and
that the encoder does not show any signs of external mechanical shock.

Ensure that the cabling is not being worn by any moving parts of the winch or spooling system.
Verify the internal coupling between the measuring wheel and encoder shaft is not loose or broken.

Look for mud or ice build up on the measuring wheel or a grooved measuring wheel. Measuring
deep or shallow is an indication of where the problem could be. For example reading deep (a
negative encoder factor/wheel error) could be the result of a worn measuring wheel, whereas reading
shallow could indicate ice/mud build up on the cable or wheel; or wheel slippage. Look for causes
of wheel slippage such as corroded encoder slides or insufficient encoder spring tension (Wayne
Kerr).

To prevent any cable slippage between the pressure and measuring wheels; ensure that the latching
handle is pushed home securing the measuring wheel in position and that the springs are in good
condition, (Straight Line).
