perforated joint, flow coupling and blast jointElsayed Amer
This document discusses perforated joints, flow couplings, and blast joints used in downhole equipment. A perforated joint is installed above a no-go and provides flow bypass when gauges are installed. It must have a total cross-sectional area of holes equivalent to the tubing internal diameter. Flow couplings are installed where turbulence is expected, such as above and below crossovers or nipples, and have thicker walls to prevent early erosion failures. Blast joints are placed near perforations and have heavy, blast-resistant coatings to protect from extreme erosional forces opposite open perforations.
Poor cement jobs in oil and gas wells can have significant costs. Cementing is important for zonal isolation and preventing accidents. Cement jobs are challenging for horizontal wells due to fluid migration in deviated wellbores. A new rotating mandrel hanger wellhead system called the MN-DS allows casing to be rotated during cementing for better distribution. This can improve cement job quality and integrity while saving rig time. The nested design also reduces the overall height to fit modern rigs better.

The pipe sprayer consists of two air motors. One drives the body around the
central axis and the second drives the cup. The cup motor is set at an angle
into the body, thus as the cup revolves and body rotates a wobble motion is
set up generating a spray pattern inside the pipe. This wobble-
head action produces a reciprocating
fan pattern which enables coating to reach
the back edges formed by pit etc., in corroded
pipes. This avoids having to go through
the pipe in two directions allowing one coat
application.

Continued to install the new hotline hose onto the reel. The hose has been installed onto the
reel but is around 1500ft to long and the reel is full. Decision needs to be made on what they
want to do as the hose will only be 8500ft if we have to cut it.
Rigged up to remove the LMRP from the lower BOP. Rigged up a hotline to the retract all stabs
function on the ROV panel. 1500psi was applied to the hotline. All stabs retracted but the
riser connector did not open. Rigged up a separate hotline hose to the riser connector “open”
side and the connector opened at 3400psi.

Lessons Learned
Amended the WRA for opening and closing the bonnets. There was a potential for someone to
make a mistake if the amendment had not been made due to the fact that it did not tell you to
pressure up both sides on the ram locks which could lead to the ram lock whistle pistons
gouging out the chamber on that side
