General Information

Safety Requirements

Varco equipment is installed and operated in a controlled drilling rig environment involving hazardous situations. Proper maintenance is important for safe and reliable operation. Procedures outlined in Varco manuals are the recommended methods of performing operations and maintenance.

!
CAUTION: To avoid injury to personnel or equipment damage, carefully observe requirements outlined in this section.

Personnel Training
All personnel performing installation, operations, repair, or maintenance procedures on the equipment, or those in the vicinity of the equipment, should be trained on rig safety, tool operation, and maintenance to ensure their safety.

!
CAUTION: Personnel should wear protective gear during installation, maintenance, and certain operations. Contact the Varco Drilling Equipment training department for more information about equipment operation and maintenance training.

Long Term TDS Storage

o

Avoid wide variations in temperature and high humidity. The preferred environment is clean and dry at 60F ambient. If high humidity is unavoidable, 70F is recommended. All exposed unpainted metal surfaces are coated with a rust preventive at the factory prior to shipment. However, check these surfaces periodically to be sure that no corrosion is taking place. The recommended rust preventive (slushing compound) for bare metal surfaces is Kendall Grade 5 (GE-D6C6A1) or equivalent.

During storage, lubricant drains from the top half of the roller bearings in the motor, allowing corrosion on the exposed areas. To prevent corrosion, run the oil pump (i.e., rotate the motor and gear train) periodically to distribute lubricant over the top of the bearings. Perform this at three-month intervals if the TDS is stored indoors, and at monthly intervals if stored outdoors.

Megger the drilling motor when placed into storage and at three-month intervals thereafter (monthly, if stored outside). Keep a record of the readings, as a drop between readings indicates an increase in moisture in the windings created by inadequate storage protection. If megger readings drop, bake the motor as soon as possible to restore proper resistance and avoid further damage.

Pre-Installation Checklist
Rig Preparation
General
o

Winches will be used for installing the TDS when drawworks and the traveling block are not installed, functional or available. Rollers have been installed onto the traveling block. Derrick area is clear of obstructions, such as tugger lines and scaffolding. Block load pin has been inserted and retaining hardware permanently installed.

o o

!
CAUTION: The load block pins are instrumented load pins. Do not force the pins by striking them with hammers. Failure to follow this caution may result in damage to the load pin instrumentation.

Service loop brackets and clamps have been created so the service loops can be attached to the derrick.

Guide Rails
o

Guide rails and bracing are installed and inspected to conform to Varco specification and installation tolerances as specified in this service manual and QA 00026. Guide rail stops are installed and can support the weight of the TDS-1000A and dolly assembly.

Rigging
o

Rigging of the long lines and other related rigging are inspected to ensure they will not interfere with the TDS and other rig equipment. All rigging hardware is inspected and properly sized to accommodate the weights of the tools to be installed in accordance with the following table:

o

All electrical and electronic cabling is installed in the derrick at the correct locations and heights per the TDS-1000A General Arrangement drawing. Make sure that the cables have sufficient length to allow for termination in the derrick J-boxes. All electronics are installed up to the derrick junction box, per the General Arrangement drawing.

Hydraulic
o

Hydraulic and air stand pipes are installed in the derrick, per the TDS-1000A General Arrangement drawing. The stand pipes are flushed clean and pressure tested. Prior to attaching any Varco equipment to the derricks hydraulic plumbing, the customer shall provide a materials test certification per DIN 50049, section 3, certifying that the plumbing has been pickled, cleaned and flushed. The customer must also ensure that the hydraulic fluid and system are at a cleanliness level of IS0440615/12 or better, according to the following source: Varcos SM00081, Hydraulic Fluid Cleanliness, and PC000112, Specification for Fluid Cleanliness and for Cleaning and Flushing Hydraulic Lines.
