DS-1° Fourth Edition, Volume 4, Drilling Specialty Tools: Chapter 7 Specific Tool Requirements 7.0 Scope. The previous chapters provide overall requirements for load rating, inspection, assembly and function testing of any drilling specialty tool covered un- der this standard. In addition to the overalll requirements specified in previous chapters, there are additional specific requirements for certain tool families that must be met for compliance with this standard. This section identities these specialty tools and provides the specific requirements that are applicable to these tools, 7.4 Definitions. The following definitions apply to terms, used in this chapter. 7.4.4 Acceptance Criteria. The attributes of a used component that make it acceptable (or unacceptable) for reassembly into a specialty tool or sub-tool 7.4.2 Component. A single piece that is employed, along with other components, to assemble a specialty tool or sub-tool. Components are divided into several categories. ‘a. Expendable component. A component that is always replaced with a new component upon disassembly and reassembly of a specialty tool that has returned from the field. b. Incidental component. A small part such as a ‘screw, nut or washer that will be reused without inspection. cc. New component. A component that has never been assembled into and used in a specialty tool. d. Nonconforming component. A component that, during inspection, fails to meet the required acceptance criteria. fe. Used component. A component that was part of a specialty tool that saw field use. 7.1.3 End (Rig End) Connection. A connection in the load path of a specialty tool that carries string loads, and that is the end connection of the tool that attaches the tool to the drill string or casing string. 7.1.4 Inspection. Nondestructive examination of ‘a used component to confirm that it is ready to be reassembled into a tool or sub-tool. 7.1.5 Inspection Method. One of several possible inspection processes that may be applied to specialty tool component. For example, “Blacklight Connection Inspection.” 7.1.6 Inspection Procedure. A set of written steps that govern how the inspector performs an inspection method. 7.4.7 Inspection Program. A written outline that sets down the methods and procedures needed to qualify the used components in a specialty tool model 7.1.8 Inspection Quality. The probability that an inspector, when he or she inspects a component, will correctly accept or reject it. 7.1.9 Inspection Record. A document that accompanies a component and shows the results of the inspection of that component. 7.1.10 Inspector. A person employed by the vendor or manufacturer who performs inspection under this standard. An inspector must be qualified by training and experience to perform elements of inspection as outlined in this standard and must have sufficient fluency in the appropriate language to report results in an accurate and timely manner. 7.1.11 Midbody Connection. A connection in the load path of a specialty tool that carries string loads, and that is not one of the end connections that attach the tool to the drill string or casing string. 7.1.12 Model (Tool Model). A designation applied to a set of specialty tools that, for a given size and configuration, utilize the same components, part numbers assembly procedures, testing procedures and inspection procedures. 7.1.13 Tool Family. A group of specialty tools wherein the specialty tools have similar intended function and use. 7.2 Specific Requirements by Tool Types. The drill- ing specialty tools and sub-tools are categorized into two types under this standard: Type A (rental tools) and Type B (sale tools). Type A tools and sub-tools are those intended to be used to perform some func- tion, either downhole or on the surface, then to be retrieved, refurbished and used again. This standard ranks Type A tools into four maintenance classes: Class Ai, Class A1/A2, Class A3 and Class A4. Definition of these maintenance classes is provided in section 1.7. For the various Type A maintenance classes, table 7.1 69 DS-1® Fourth Edit n, Volume 4, Drilling Specialty Tools Chapter 7 Specific Tool Requirements 7.0 Scope.

The dil- ing specialty tools and sub-tools are categorized into two types under this standard: Type A (rental tools), and Type B (sale tools). Type A tools and sub-tools are those intended to be used to perform some func- tion, either downhole or on the surface, then to be retrieved, refurbished and used again. This standard ranks Type A tools into four maintenance classes: Class AM, Class A1/A2, Class A3 and Class A4, Definition of these maintenance classes is provided in section 1.7. For the various Type A maintenance classes, table 7.1 69 (TH) TH Hill Associates, Inc. HILL summarizes if the additional specific inspection, as- sembly and function testing requirements provided in this chapter apply. Details of the additional inspection, assembly and function testing requirements called out in table 7.1 for various Type A maintenance classes are provided in sections 7.5 through 7.11. The additional in- spection requirements in turn reference some common inspection methods, procedures and acceptance cri- teria. These common inspection methods, procedures and acceptance criteria tables are included in sections 7.12 through 7.22 and tables 7.4 through 7.39. For Type B tools, there are no additional specific assembly and function testing requirements beyond those specified in chapters 5 and 6. 7.3 Meeting Requirements of Standard DS-1 Third Edition, Volume 3, Category 3-5. This standard, Stan- dard DS-1 Fourth Edition, Volume 4, covers qualification requirements of driling specialty tools. Standard DS-1 Fourth Edition, Volume 3 does not cover qualification of drilling specialty tools. However, since Standard DS-1 Third Edition, Volume 3 was used to cover qualification of tool families listed in table 7.1, vendors of specialty tools may be requested by their customers to follow requirements specified in Standard DS-1 Third Edition, Volume 3 for Category 3-5 (or lower) for these tools. In this event, the vendor shall meet this request by fol- lowing the requirements specified in this and previous chapters for tool Class A1 7.4 Common inspection Methods. As discussed in section 7.2, certain common inspection methods have to be performed to meet the specific inspection require- ments on the specialty tools identified in table 7.1. ‘These common inspection methods and requirements are the same for several different specialty tool types. They are listed here, separately, for ease of application and use. They may also be referenced separately for specialty tools that do not fit into one of the tool families listed in table 7.1, but need to include these common. inspections. Table 7.2 provides a summary of the com- mon inspection procedures required for the specialty tools listed in table 7.1. These common inspection procedures include the following: 7.4.1 Sub Inspection. This procedure includes flaw detection and dimensional inspection of ‘sub connections and body when used as a sub- component of drilling specialty tool. 7.4.2 Stabilizer Inspection. This procedure inoludes tlaw detection and dimensional inspection of stabilizer connections and body when used as a sub-component of drilling specialty tool 70 Table 7.1 Applicability of Specific Inspection, Assembly and Function Testing Requirements of Chapter 7 by Tool Maintenance Classification Tool or Sub-Tool Maintenance Classification’ AL AvA2 | Ax Vy Aletta er [afer [Jar Yi y{v[n[n{y[N[nfy MWD/LWD and Rotary Steerable | Y}¥|N|N|NJN/N|N|N Tools Motor/Turbines | Y|[¥[NIN[NIN|N|NN Hole Openers Roller Reamers |Y|y|y|N|N/Y|N|N|¥ Under Reamers Safety Valves Kelly Valves yiy|y[uinjy[Nin|y IBOP Fishing Toots |Y[N[N|N[NIN|N|N|N All Other Type A Drilling Specialty |¥|N|N|N|N|N|N|N|N Tools | {eIngpection; A=Assombly; FT: "Tools shipped as Ciass AA are not subject to any requirement of this standard, *Customer approval of Class AS is required before shipping tool, 5 £ 3 8 7.4.3 Visual Connection Inspection.
