2. Running procedure for 9-5/8” single trip whipstock - Mechanical set

permanent / retrievable anchors

Note: The anchor is set MECHANICALLY thus there is a requirement to interact with a
cement plug, bridge plug or liner top to activate the slips. To ensure integrity between the
whipface and the anchor the whip should be set between 2 casing collars.

Running , orientation , setting, milling and retrieval procedures

2.1 Whipstock System
The whipstock system comprises from bottom up, a Permanent or Retrievable Packer,
Hinge Connector, Whipstock Slide, Shear Bolt, Milling Assembly, Running Tool, and
separated by a Flex Joint, and milling BHA.

The milling assembly is flexibly attached to the whipstock slide by means of a shear block
mounted on the face of the whipstock.

2.2 Before running the Whipstock System

Catch Fishing Services recommend the customer perform a gauge and scraper run to
simulate the whipstock in the well conditions.

Recommended Gauge/Scraper Assembly 9-5/8” system:

Item Qty Description Connection

1 1 8-1/2” OD Bit or Window Mill 4.1/2" NKK DSTJ Box
2 1 9-5/8" Casing Scraper 4.1/2" Reg Pin x Box
3 2 6.1/2" OD Crossover Sub 4.1/2" IF Box x 4.1/2" Reg Box
4 1 8-1/2" OD Watermelon Mills 4.1/2" IF Box x Pin
5 1 6-1/2’ Pony Collar 10’ 4.1/2" IF Box x Pin
6 1 8-1/2" OD String Stabilizer 4.1/2" IF Box x Pin
7 1 6-1/2’ Pony Collar 10’ 4.1/2" IF Box x Pin
8 1 8-1/2" OD String Stabilizer 4.1/2" IF Box x Pin
9 10-12 6-1/2” Drill collars 4.1/2" IF Box x Pin
as 5" S-135 Drill Pipe (spaced out to 4.1/2" IF Box x Pin
10
req’d above top of liner).
11 1 Kelly or Top Drive 4.1/2" IF Pin

The stiffness of this assembly will serve to identify any problem doglegs or restrictions in
the hole that may hamper running of the whipstock assembly. Full gauge stabilizers can be
used in place of watermelon mills and the casing scraper left out if considerable rotation
such as dressing off cement plugs is required.

Note: It is strongly recommended that if possible the scraper be run to bottom them pulled
back by 20’ and circulation commenced. This is to ensure any debris is pushed right to
bottom and not circulated back up past the scraper.

2.3 Setting depth of the Whipstock

The whipstock can be set at any depth. It is set mechanically, therefore there is a
requirement to interact with a cement plug or bridge plug to set the whipstock. As with any
whipstock sidetrack, it is recommended that the whipstock is between 2 casing collars.
This is to ensure integrity between the anchoring packer and the milling and drilling
assemblies.

It is recommended that the setting depth be pre-determined by either accurate casing tally
or a CCL log. If a CCL is not run, a correlation between wire line depth and pipe depth
should be taken.

2.4 Orientation of the Whipstock and Flow Through Valve considerations

The whip face can be orientated by MWD Orientation or alternatively, using Gyro. Ideally,
the orientation must be set between a maximum of 70 deg. either right or left of high and
therefore the hole should always be surveyed irrespective of whether it is vertical or
inclined. The flow through the mud holes in the mill provides the means to acquire
orientation with MWD

2.5 Other Requirements

Install ditch magnets.

Test the MWD tool prior, to running the assembly in hole.

Pick up the following assembly:

6
req’d above top of liner).
7 1 Kelly or Top Drive 4.1/2" IF Pin

BHA Wt. Should be at least 25 Tons (18 drill collars)

2.6.2 Check that the correct quantity of setting shear screws is installed in the anchor.

2.6.3 Pick up the Whipstock with tugger from the catwalk. A whip handling device is
provided which is bolted onto the back of whipstock. This is to be used as a false rotary to
support the assembly in the Rotary Table when making up the mill to whip via the shear
bolt. Assist with a tugger as necessary. Sling around the anchor top sub – not around the
slips. Set Whipstock in the rotary table (rams shut). Leave tugger attached.

2.6.4 Bolt the Mill Assembly to the Whipstock:

2.6.5 Make up flex joint to Running Tool above Mill Assembly. Run the Whipstock & Mill
Assembly below the rotary table to the top of Flex joint.

2.6.6 Orient Whip Face to MWD Tool and/or UBHO Sub Key and confirm with Directional
Driller / Company Representative. Record Offset.

2.6.7 Pick up BHA and run in hole slowly (3 minutes slack off time for 1 stand). Refer to
dogleg checklist for doglegs greater than 4 degrees. Watch the weight indicator carefully
and record up-weights regularly. Monitor trip-tank for proper fill up.

2.6.8 90’-180’ above setting depth make up top drive, begin circulating at nimimu flow
rate to activate MWD and establish up and down weights. Orient whips as required. Gently
slack off to setting depth maintaing correct orientation of whips face. Alternatively survey
using Gryor assembly. Position the bottom of the whipstock assembly at ± 4 ft. above a
casing collar. Note up and down weights.

2.6.9 Orient and Set whipstock with MWD:

An offset is measured between the whipface and the MWD scribe line prior to running in
the hole. Once at setting depth, begin circulating between 300 and 400 gpm to obtain

___________________________________________________________________________
Whipstock page 10

________________________________________________________

MWD tool face survey. Turn assembly as needed to obtain desired orientation working
torque down as required form surface. Continue to monitor string weights. Once
orientation is confirmed, stop the pumps.

2.7. Setting Whipstock system

2.7.1 When the plug is encountered (gently slack off 6 – 8, 000 lbs to trip anchor (anchor
is designed to shear at 8,000lbs, survey data can be confirmed at this point prior to
shearing the mill bolt.

2.8. Shear Bolt:

2.8.1 Slack off 50,000 lbs and shear bolt. Pick mill up clear of the whip carefully
monitoring that there is no over pull to ensure bolt is sheared. DO NOT PULL ANY
OVERPULL, to continue will release the slips from their position (unless the anchor is
permanent). Lower assembly just above whip tip and take parameters.

2.9. Milling

BHA weight: +/- 50,000 lbs.

Recommended Weight-on-Mill: 10,000 -18,000 lbs. Max wt on mill 25,000 lbs.
Recommended Rotary RPM: 90 - 120 rpm

Determine Free-Rotating Torque, check string weights up and down.

Begin rotation and lower assembly until torque is observed. Mill the window and required
rathole. Back ream and dress window as necessary. After torque has dissipated, pick up
milling assembly above window, and turn off pumps. Lower mill assembly back to TD to
ensure window is full gauge throughout. Repeat this 3 times.

If after 1hour of milling at any given depth across the whip face, no progress is noted, pull
the milling assembly to assess mill condition and ensure that there is no damage to the
mills. On no account should a mill be re-run without a full body MPI prior to making up in
the string.

2.10.1 POOH with Milling Assembly:

2.10. Make up Drilling Assembly:

Avoid rotating stabilizers, Bits, etc. across face of Whipstock.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Catch Fishing operator will ensure that the Directional Supervisor,
Drilling Supervisor, Tool Pusher and Driller all receive copies of, and comply with, this
running procedure.

NOTE: Install Ditch Magnets

Supplementary information

The single grip bottom trip anchor is retrievable the double grip is permanent / retrievable; the
anchor is fitted with a transit clamp, which should be removed before running in hole.

Should there be any concern about the anchor slip location in the hole relative to the scraped depth,
the plunger foot can be extended to ensure that the slips are not triggered in an unscraped interval.

The anchor is located directly via the hinge pin to the whipstock, it is important to ensure that the
5deg angled face on the anchor is opposite or below the whip face allowing the whip to hinge over
to the low side of the casing depending on what type of anchor is run.

The anchor may be tripped on bottom and pulled up to any desired and suitable location, it may not
be lowered if this location is missed.

The shear bolt is assembled through the back of the whipstock and will free rotate when fully
inserted, the mill should then be lined up and the shear bolt screwed into the head till tight and the
mill is tight against the tip of the whip. The shear bolt is rated at 30,000lbs; this is variable on
request.
