Verify the size, weight, grade, connection, and joint

count of the tubulars. The pipe is in the proper order

for picking up.

Establish communication links between pickup

machine operator and personnel working the pipe

racks.

Discuss emergency shut down procedures.

READY TO PICKUP CASING

Remove chocks from the casing on pipe rack, using a

metal hook.

It is recommended to roll all casing from the

ground level.

If this is not possible, and personnel are required

to be on top of the casing; then the use of

walkways are recommended. DO NOT walk on

bare casing, use the walkway.

Access the walkways from the end opposite the

catwalk using a secured ladder or stairs.

PICK UP WITH PICKUP MACHINE:

Roll the joint to the pickup machine using a pipe roller.

Install casing thread protector.

Use two-way communication

equipment/ PA equipment for

pipe rollers and PU Machine

Operator.

Use Romfors’ angle iron type

chocks.

DO NOT UNDER ANY

CONDITION attempt to stop or

step over rolling tubulars.

Rig Manager Authorization is

required before any

personnel are permitted to

go on top of the casing.

JSA must be reviewed with

direct supervision by the Rig

Manager.

DO NOT walk across pipe racks

Discuss procedures with Rig Manager to include:

- Manifest / material transfer requirements

- Location of tubulars.

- Unloading procedure.

- Number and position of trucks on location.

- Size of forklift required (Capacity & length of

forks).

- Pipe racks, stripping (in good condition), and

proper chocks.

Verify the following items are ready or available,

as required:

- Forklift is ready for operation.

- Pipe racks are level with Catwalk, equipped

with end stops of the proper height to

accommodate all layers of pipe.

- Catwalks are level and pinned together.

- Stripping is available.

- Chocks are available.

- Tally tape and Tally book.

Verify the size, weight, grade, connection, and joint

count of the tubulars against the manifest.

The Rig Manager and Operator Representative should

discuss the unloading sequence to assure that the

proper weights and grades are placed in the correct

order on the pipe racks.

BPS RECOMMENDS 18” or

shorter pipe racks. BPS

RECOMMENDS that the box-end

faces the truck cab and all tubulars

are stripped and chocked.

DO NOT UNDER ANY

CONDITION attempt to stop or

step over rolling tubulars.

Include all third party personnel.

It is NOT A RECOMMENDED

procedure to unload tubulars with

a crane. Only one truck load of

tubulars on location at one time.

When positioning pipe racks,

plan for room to handle casing

tools on catwalk.

Refer to forklift operational

procedures. Verify that backup

signal, brakes and emergency

brake are operational.

Use Romfor's angle iron type

chocks.

Verify that thread protectors are

installed on both the pin end and

box end of the pipe.

Refer to Operator’s casing

program.

pipe racks on top of layer. Run stripping boards all

the way to the end of the casing. Place chock a

minimum of 2 joint widths from the end of stripping at

the catwalk end.

It is recommended to roll all casing from the

ground level.

If this is not possible, and personnel are required

to be on top of the casing; then the use of

walkways are recommended. DO NOT walk on

bare casing, use the walkway.

Access the walkways from the end opposite the

catwalk using a secured ladder or stairs.

Lay walkway on each layer of casing. The walkway is

to extend the full length of each layer of casing.

If casing is layered:

Verify that pipe rack stops are in place and of the

proper height. Place stripping boards directly over

pipe racks on top of layer. Run stripping boards all

the way to the end of the casing. Place chock a

minimum of 2 joint widths from the end of stripping at

the catwalk end.

It is recommended to roll all casing from the

ground level.

If this is not possible, and personnel are required

to be on top of the casing; then the use of

walkways are recommended. DO NOT walk on

bare casing, use the walkway.

Access the walkways from the end opposite the

catwalk using a secured ladder or stairs.

Lay walkway on each layer of casing. The walkway is

to extend the full length of each layer of casing.

Use a pipe roller to move the casing into proper

position one joint at a time.

When layer is complete, install pipe chocks at the

ends of the stripping boards.

READY TO LAY-DOWN DRILL PIPE W/ LD MACHINE

It is recommended to roll all drill pipe from the

ground level.

If this is not possible, and personnel are required

to be on top of the drill pipe; then the use of

walkways are recommended. DO NOT walk on

bare drill pipe, use the walkway.

Access the walkways from the end opposite the

catwalk using a secured ladder or stairs.

Hold joint stationary while pin end thread protector is

installed.

Instruct other floorman to install box end thread

protector on next joint in rotary.

Instruct hands to guide joint to trough.

Slowly lower joint into trough.

When elevators are in proper position, install a rope

to elevators to enable crews to unlatch.

When joint is in proper position, instruct hands to

unlatch elevators using rope.

After joint in trough is clear, lower elevators to proper

height to latch onto the next joint in rotary.

Continue with “Trip Out Of Hole” procedures and

repeat “Lay Down Drill Pipe” procedures from step 2

through 8 until all drill pipe is laid down.

Use two-way communication

equipment/ PA equipment for

pipe rollers and LD Machine

Operator.

Rig Manager Authorization is

required before any

personnel are permitted to

go on top of the drill pipe.

JSA must be reviewed with

direct supervision by the Rig

Manager.

DO NOT walk across pipe racks

from catwalk.

MAKE SURE rotary table is

completely stopped.

BE AWARE of pinch points, do

not allow crew members to

place their hands on lay-down

equipment; lines, post, etc.

DO NOT allow blocks to swing.

Make sure all crewmen are

clear before lowering.

Rope needs to be in good

condition and proper length

(not too long).

MAKE SURE joint is lined up in

trough.

Ropes may be attached to ears

of elevators to help in guiding

onto next joint.
