1. INTRODUCTION

The 2004 revision N° 1 of the Company Fundamentals Manuals is based on the feed-
back received from the Eni’s affiliate companies and Eni head-quarter Drilling &
Production Optimization Services Units technicians.
The revision N° 1 started in June 2003, ended in July 2004 and has been carried out with
the supervision performed by head quarter well operations standards department.
The purpose of the revision N° 1 was:
• eliminate the errors present in the first release
• update the Fundamentals Manuals on the bases of the new state of art of the
well operations
• reorganise the structure of the manuals in way to facilitate the research of that
topics which require particular attention to improve performance and
efficiency in terms of safety, quality and costs.

In the following sections, for each manual are listed the main topics reviewed, update or
added.
Following this guide the technicians can easily recognise the changes brought to the
manuals in this way they can align they self to the new Company’s statements.

2. CHANGES TO FUNDAMENTALS MANUALS

2.1 DRILLING DESIGN MANUAL (STAP-P-1-M-6100)

This manual has been revised as follows:

2.1.1 CHAPTER 2 “FORECAST ON PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE GRADIENTS”

This chapter has been renamed “Forecast on Pressure and Temperature Gradients”
instead of “Pressure Evaluation”; and the following paragraphs have been added:
• Paragraph 2.1.1” Seismic data Analysis”.
• Paragraph 2.1.2.3 “d” Exponent and “dc” Exponent”.
• Paragraph 2.1.2.4 “Sigmalog Interpretation”.
• Paragraph 2.1.3 has been reorganized as far the “Sonic Log”.

2.1.2 CHAPTER 3 “SELECTION OF CASING SEATS”

In this chapter the following items have been introduced:
• In an on-shore well the calculation of the conductor pipe setting depth is not
required.
• For conductor pipe in wells with subsea wellheads, no attempt is made to
circulate through the conductor string to the surface but it must be set deep
enough to provide, along with 20” casing, the structural fundation required to
support the well head, BOP stack, riser tension and subsequent string of
casing.
• For “Surface Casing” the “Max Allowable Annular Surface Pressure” and its
value should be as minimum 10 Kg/cm2.
• The limits of Kick Tolerance for each drilling phase have been introduced:

Hole Sizes (inches) Minimum Kick Tolerance Minimum Kick Tolerance

(bbl) (m3)
23” hole & larger 250 40
Below 23” & to 17-1/2” 150 24
Below 17-1/2” & to 12-1/4” 100 16
Below 12-1/4” & to 8-1/2” 50 8
Smaller than 8-1/2” 25 4

eliminated because there was the description of the “Net Pressure” which, if
considered, would lead to subtract the sea water hydrostatic head twice.

• For BOP that stated in ISO 13533 (Api 16A) just superior at the working
pressure calculated/estimated. Exception is made for Bag Preventer; in fact,
this type of preventer is normally indicated and used for the initial well closure.
Immediately after, the pipe rams preventer is requested to activation following
the proper drill pipe space out. For this reason, the bag preventer pressure
rating can be just lower than pipe rams preventer.

Paragraph 6.2.1 BOP Stack System (Land Rigs, Jack-Ups And Fixed Platform)

of hydrates forming during well control operations. It is also recommended to
install temperature gauges in the BOP stack.

must be open. The check valve in the casing spool will also be kept open by the
appropriate needle valve.

Drilling (LWD) tools may be used.
• Small pilot holes will enhance the dynamic well killing capability, and improve
log quality. Generally, it is recommended that 9 7/8” or smaller pilot hole is
drilled.
• In the event that significant gas readings are obtained from mud returns, the
gas should be circulated out; if the background gas level cannot be reduced
by circulation, the mud weight should be increased and the hole circulated
until the background gas subsides.
