Procedures
2. Scope of Work
One 10K LQTG (one single gauge, tubing reading) are to be run in the each well.
Additional equipment supplied by either Pioneer affiliates and or third party
suppliers are going to be listed in the well schematic when the completion
program would be finished.
The Smart Watcher SmartWatcher acquisition system will be set up on location

possibly connected to the power system and to the permanent downhole cable
(thru a wireline collector if possible) in order to properly monitor the gauge during
the installation. If this is not possible, alternate battery power or SmartWatcher
field installation box must be considered.
The bottom hole completion (tail pipe, packer, and required pup joints and at
least one joint of tubing will be run into the well prior to permanent gauge solid
gauge mandrel will be installed and torque into the string.
The gauge will be made up off-line and tested as per Pioneer Field Installation
Procedures.
Once the good gauge working conditions have been confirmed the gauge will be
installed on the single permanent gauge mandrel and powered on thru the slip
rotary connector that is part of the field installation spooler. This would be done
to monitor the gauge and cable integrity through the entire operation.
Once the gauge installation is done, XX joints of tubing (the number of joints are
going to be determined based on the setting depth) are run in the well on 3 1/2
tubing, with 3 1/2 iron cast clamps installed on each tubing connection in order to
protect the cable over the 3 1/2 tubing couplings as it enters into the well.
Additional XX joints of 3 1/2 tubing joints required between the solid gauge
mandrel and the SCSSV gauge would be run in the well until the Safety valve
will be added to the string.
Once the required tubing joints between the gauge and the SCSSV are run in
the well the SCSSV will be added and torque into the string. Once the SCSSV
installed, the required iron cast clamp guards and/or a single clamp (Cannon
style) depending on the SCSSV supplier would be installed in order to protect
the gauge permanent cable and the safety valve control line.
Additional XX joints of 3 1/2 tubing required between the SCSSV and the tubing
hanger would be installed into the string with 3 1/2 iron cast clamps installed on
each tubing connection in order to protect the cable and the control line over the
3 1/2 tubing couplings as the string enters into the well.

Procedures
After the previous operation is finished, both cable and control lines would be
straitened, passed thru the tubing hanger fittings, and secured in place by
making up the fittings to the required torque.
Once the previous is finished, the tubing hanger would be landed and securred
in place for full well control.
3. Standard Integration Test (SIT test) and Mobilization
Prior to mobilization of equipment a Standard Integration Test (SIT) will occur at

the shop. It will consist of the surface SmartWatcher acquisition system, the
laptop computer, the primary and back-up gauge, Standard gauge mandrel,
Permanent downhole cable spool, and the spooling unit. This will insure that the
system meets the necessary requirements to maintain a good working stage and
to deliver bottomhole data to the SmartWatcher acquisition system.
Cable tests will be performed according to the Pioneer Field instalation

Procedures.
Once the test is finished, the equipment will be re-packaged in order to be

transported to the customer location for installation.

Procedures
4. Procedures
4.1 COMPLETION PRE-WORK
1. Spot a place on location that have a close power source, and set up
SmartWatcher acquisition system and connect it to the spooler thru the
rotary slip connector. Alternatively, a SmartWatcher portable could be used
for the installation.
Note: If SmartWatcher is used, the temporary position of the SmartWatcher acquisition

system has to be agreed upon with the customer, as this position shall not interfere
with future operations on the well location.
2. Spot spooling unit on location and make sure that it is facing the rig side
without creating issues with the future, prepare collector assembly on
spooler shaft.
3. Inspect the Permanent downhole cable ends and make sure the caps were
properly sealing the ends in order to prevent water ingrease into the cable.
4. Using a jig saw remove XX-YY feet of cable from the outer end.
5. Calibrate the Encapsulation stripper blades using the gauge tool.
6. Using the Encapsulation stripper, remove XYZ“of encapsulation.
7. Once the Encapsulation has been removed, take a permanent marker and
draw a circular line on the tube at X” from the end on the cable.
8. Using a Swagelok cutter create a small groove on the tube where the X”
mark has been done.
Note: DO NOT ATTEMPT to cut the tube with the Swagelok cutter.
9. Once the circular groove has been performed around the cable tube, take a
triangular file and file the tube all the way around keeping at least a XX0 to
YY0 angle towards the encapsulation.
10. Remove the X” tube from the end and expose the cable wire.
11. Perform step 5 to 10 for the inner end of the cable.
Note: DO NOT THROW AWAY the cable seal ends installed from the factory, as you
will need them after the installation for sealing the ends of the remaining of the cable.
12. Run surface cable to the spooler unit and have it prepared for connection to
SmartWatcher acquisition system after the cable checks are finished.

Procedures
13. Perform permanent cable check.

14. Insulation check: Check is done between conductor and armour. Setting is
XXXVDC. Minimum requirement is YYYYMohms/ XXXXft @ 20˚C.
WARNING
?
Note: Make sure the GAUGE IS NOT CONNECTED to the cable at this point. The
operation will PERMANENTLY DAMAGE the GAUGE.
15. Continuity check: For the conductor check between conductor ends, which
should be approximately X.XX ohms/ XXXXft @ 20˚C. For armor ends
readings should be approximately YY ohms/ XXXXft @ 20˚C.
16. TDR check. This can be done before and after the gauge is connected to the
cable. The TDR will show you any weak points in the cable and give you an
indication of the cable manufacturing properties as well as connection to the
gauge integrity.
4.2 GAUGE CABLE HEAD INSTALLATION
17. Prepare Standard single gauge Mandrel for installation into completion.
18. Once the tests are performed, use a jig saw to cut the X”outer end of the
downhole cable that was used for cable check tests.
19. Run the cable to through the sheave, and bring it down to the rig floor.
20. Make up LQAG gauge to end of downhole cable using gauge connection
procedures.

Procedures
Gauge cable head installation
21. Calibrate the Encapsulation stripper blades using the gauge tool.
22. Using the Encapsulation stripper, remove VV“of encapsulation.
23. Once the Encapsulation has been removed, straighten the cable using PPS
tube straightener.
24. Once the cable has been straightened, take a permanent marker and draw a
circular line on the tube at X.HHX>XXX”.
25. Using a Swagelok cutter create a small groove on the tube where the
X.XXX” mark has been done.
Note: DO NOT ATTEMPT to XXX the tube with the Swagelok cutter.
26. Once the circular groove has been performed around the cable tube, take a
triangular file and file the tube all the way around keeping at least a XX0 to
YY0 angle towards the encapsulation (or the cable spool if no encapsulation
is used for that cable).
Note: DO NOT FILE the tube all the way, as this operation will damage the filler, thus
affecting the cable characteristics. The XX0 angle is very important for the new PPS
gauge cable heads, as they incorporate an internal o-ring for the metal seal pressure
test.

Procedures
27. Snap and Remove the X.XXX” tube from the cable.
28. Repeat steps 22 to 24 for the mark at V.VV”.
29. Once the V.VV” tube has been removed, apply a small film of dielectric oil on
the tube, and load the cable head parts. Push slowly with partial rotation left
and right until the internal o-ring goes easily over the tube.
WARNING
?
Note: Make sure tube CCCCCC did not leave any sharp edges as it will
PERMANENTLY DAMAGE the internal o-ring of the Pressure Testing Sub.
30. Using a permanent marker, draw a circular line on the filler at X.XX” from the
end on the tube or V.VV” from the cable end.
31. Perform a circular cut of the filler on that mark, and remove it. If it does not
pull out easily, perform two axial cuts at 1800 in order to weaken the filler.
WARNING
?
Note: Make sure the cut does not touch the cable insulation as it will
PERMANENTLY DAMAGE IT.
32. Using a permanent marker, draw a circular line on the insulation at X.XX”
from the end on the tube or V.VV” from the cable end.
33. Perform a circular cut of the insulation on that mark, and remove it.
WARNING
?
Note: Make sure the cut does not touch the copper wire as it will PERMANENTLY
DAMAGE IT.
34. Apply a small film of dielectric oil on the insulation and install the KenYY
connector rubber boot sliding it toward the filler until the end touches it.
35. Slide the KenYY Teflon sleeve barrel and push it onto the rubber boot
leaving out about X.XXX” to Y.YYY”.
36. Using a closed end crimping tool (set on XXAWG mark), crimp the KenYY
barrel to the copper wire.
37. Once the KenYY barrel is crimped, push the rubber boot toward it while
holding the end of the barrel and the cable.
WARNING
?
Note: Make sure the cut does not touch the copper wire as it will PERMANENTLY
DAMAGE IT.
38. Connect the cable to the gauge KenYY pin and push the rubber boot until
the rubber boot internal groove snaps over the pin housing ring.
39. Apply a small film of o-ring grease over the gauge o-rings and, and apply a
small continuous film of SECRET over the thread of the gauge.

Procedures
WARNING
?
Note: Make sure that SECRET film does not touch the cone sealing, as it might affect
the sealing effectiveness.
40. Make up the cable head housing (hand tight).

41. Once the cable head housing has been tighten by hand, use a torque
wrench to torque the connection at XX lbs-ft (YY Nm) in order to energize the
cone metal to metal seal.
42. Once the cone metal to metal seal has been energized, and apply a small
continuous film of SECRET over the cable head housing tread, and make
up the testing sub (hand tight).
43. Once the testing sub has been tightened by hand, use a torque wrench to
torque the connection at CC lbs-ft (DD Nm) in order to energize Swagelok
ferules.
44. Connect the pressure test assembly and perform a pressure test for 10 - 15
min (client representative needs to witness the test).
45. Dismount the pressure testing assembly and completely drain the oil using a
syringe.
WARNING
?
Note: Make sure that you (Intentionally Removed) completely out of the housing, as
failing to do so might damage the sealing when downhole temperature increases.
46. Once the pressure test was successfully completed, make up hand tight the
end sub.
47. Once the end sub has been tighten by hand, use a torque wrench to torque
the connection at SS lbs-ft (FF Nm) in order to energize the second pair of
Swagelok ferules (used for tension relief of the metal to metal seals).
48. Connect the inner end of the permanent downhole cable to the
SmartWatcher surface acquisition system, load the gauge coefficients file,
and perform a system check to verify the gauge readings.
49. Once good gauge operation has been confirmed, install the gauge on the
gauge mandrel.
