TITLE: CLEANING AND DRESSING UPPER PBR

1.0 PURPOSE
Provide guidelines for cleaning and dressing upper PBR.

2.0 SCOPE
All liner systems which include upper PBR that require a seal stem installed.

3.0 RESPONSIBILITY
Field Technician.

4.0 CONSIDERATIONS
4.1 Check the compatibility of the Clean-out Mill assembly threads with the running
string.
4.2 When applicable, adjust the length of drill pipe below the mill assembly to
ensure that the bit does not bottom out on the landing collar before the top
dressing mill lands out on top of the PBR.
4.3 When a bit is run below the mills, exercise caution when the bit is entering the
liner top.
4.4 The spacing between the top dressing mill and tie-back mill can be extended
by adding a drill pipe pup joint or other suitable spacer between the spacer sub
and tie-back mill.
4.5 The spacing between the top dressing mill and tie-back mill should be such
that the top dressing mill lands on the liner top PBR before the tie-back mill
bottoms against the top of the liner top packer or setting sleeve.
4.6 Prior to establishing circulation and rotation, tagging the liner top PBR with the
top dressing mill will help to establish a positive indication for space out.
4.7 Visual inspect the mill assembly before and after the milling operation and note
differences.
4.8 Check to confirm the blade of the top dress mill is larger than the largest OD of
the seal stem.

5.0 GUIDELINES
5.1 If cement is left above the liner, R.I.H. with a bit assembly for the parent casing
and wash or drill down to the liner top.
5.1.1 Use extreme caution when tagging the liner top.
5.1.2 Record the depth at which the liner top was tagged.
5.1.3 Circulate the hole clean and P.O.O.H.
5.2 R.I.H. with drill pipe and liner top clean out assembly, consisting of:

Casing scraper.

5.3 Before entering the upper PBR, establish circulation at 500 to 600 psi.
5.4 Rotate the string at a speed which gives a stable torque reading (20 to 40 rpm)
and note the torque.
5.5 Slack off slowly and place the tie-back mill assembly into the PBR ID.
NOTE:
A pressure increase will be seen when the tieback mill enters the seal
bore.
5.6 Continue slacking off slowly and land the top dressing mill on top of the PBR,
mark drillpipe with set down weight not to exceed 1,000 lbs per inch of top
dressing mill OD.
NOTE:
A torque increase will be seen when the top dressing mill is in contact
with the PBR.
Excessive torque fluctuation may require less weight to be set down
on the liner top PBR.
5.7 Achieve a stable torque reading and without slacking off additional weight,
dress the liner top PBR for 3-5 minutes.
NOTE:
Any drill off at this point suggests that you are not on the top of the PBR
and additional weight should be applied until the weight stabilizes.
5.8 Continue rotation and circulation while pulling the mill assembly out of the
PBR. Slack off and repeat the cleaning operation.
5.9 Pick up slowly while continuing to rotate and circulate until the mill assembly is
out of the liner top PBR.
5.10 Stop rotating and increase the circulation rate to remove any cement / cuttings
from the well.
NOTE:
Circulate at least the annular volume.
5.11 P.O.O.H.

PBR Cleaning Tool

Weatherford's PBR cleaning tool is used to remove debris and excess cement from
the inside of a liner-top polished bore receptacle (PBR) that would prevent
tie-back equipment from forming an effective seal with the ID of the PBR.
The PBR cleaning tool consists of a tie-back polish mill, spacer sub(s), and top-
dress mill. The tie-back mill is rotated inside the PBR to clean it. The top-dress mill
is rotated at the top of the PBR, cleaning the entry profile at the top of the PBR and
providing space-out so that the tie-back mill does not extend too far into the PBR.

Applications
— Run before any tie-back application

Features, Advantages and Benefits

— PBR tie-back polish mill design allows excellent cleaning of the PBR ID, ensuring
that the tie-back seal stem can create an effective seal.
— Top-dress mill cleans the top of the liner-top PBR entry profile, ensuring easy
access of seal stems into the PBR to save rig time.
— All cutting assemblies are made of 80-ksi material, which is as soft as, or softer
than, Weatherford's PBR material, ensuring that the PBR is not damaged during
the cleanup process.
— With standard drillpipe-compatible connections at the top and bottom, the PBR
cleaning tools can be run on drillpipe, and a drillpipe wash string can be run
below the tools.

Specifications
Contact an authorized Weatherford representative.

Options
— Standard-length tool can be used for cleaning 6-ft (1.8-m) PBRs; however, with
additional pup joints, the same tool can be used to clean 10-, 15-, 20-, and 30-ft
(3.0-, 4.6-, 6.1-, and 9.1-m) PBRs as well.
