General descriptionThe FMS is a hydraulic operated power slip which is equipped with replaceable slips and inserts to handle casing.

The power down force generated eliminates the need for a manual casing tong.

The powered down slips allow the first casing joints to be run in with the FMS.

The FMS can be used in combination with the Rotary Support Table.

The FMS slips will set or raise when a command is given by the driller. Setting and raising slips of the FMS is remote controlled.

The design-safety factor and the design verification of the FMS is in accordance with requirements of API specification 7K.

An anti-sagging valve prevents the slips from sagging when no pressure is available

A pressure relieve valve is provided, preventing the cylinders from being damaged when the slips are commanded to open, and an external force is forcing them down (in case of kick etc).

Slips, inserts and guidesChange of numbering of 250 ton slip sets.

Over the years, changes have been implemented on the 250 Tons slip assemblies. In order to make the slip assemblies interchangable between the FMS275 and the BJ 250 tons Elevator-Spider, the part numbering related to the slip assemblies was changed. In below cross-over diagram one can look up the various numbers.

Cross-over list for 250 ton BJ E/S / FMS275 slips

* All old slips assemblies need to have an upgrade to fit in the FMS275

** After upgrade, part number changed into xxxxx-U. This needs to be stamped into the slip assembly

Determining pipe crushing loads

The maximum pipe weight which can be lifted safely with the FMS, equals the critical hook load of the pipe MINUS the applied power down force.

F = ((Yp x A x K1) - (Phydr x 36.5)) / 2000 [short tons] with:

K1 = (1/ SQRT (1 + R x K2 / L + (R x K2 / L)2 ))

K2 = crushing load factor = 2.6

L = Length of slip contact (inch) = 13 1/4” for FMS-slip

R = Outside radius of pipe (inch)

A = Cross sectional area of pipe (inch2)

Yp = Yield strength of pipe material (psi)

Phydr = Hydraulic supply pressure (psi)

2. Pre-operation checks

1. Check correct sizes of slips, top and/or bottom guide.

2. Check correct installation of these parts.

3. Check all hydraulic hoses for signs of wear.

4. Connect FMS and operation panel to a power unit and check:

a. Check for the correct functioning of tool

b. Check for any hydraulic leakage.

c. Check hydraulic power down pressure (see table for pressure vs. casing torque).

d. Check that slips up hydraulic pressure is set at maximum 1,000 psi (6,895 KPa), recommended 500-750 Psi (3,447 - 5,171 KPa)

e. Check, if needed, that the correct adapter plate is with the FMS.

Assembly

6-38 FMS 275

8. Assemble the levelling beam. It should drop gently over the 2 cylinder rods.

9. Fit the nuts by hand. Do not torque.

10. With the levelling beam down and without pressure in the system torque the levelling beam nuts with 550 ft-lbs (745 Nm) and secure them with cotterpins.

11. Assemble the leveling beam pins and fit a slips set.

12. Let the slips engage an appropriate piece of casing pipe.

13. Check easy (dis) assembly of the levelling beam pins with the levelling beam in the up and down positions. Adjust if necessary.

14. Remove the pipe and the slips.

15. Fit the top plate assembly and lock wire.

16. Finally pressurize (2,500 psi - 17,200 KPa) and function test the unit for 5 minutes with the cylinders fully extended and then fully retracted.

!CAUTION: If it is necessary to rotate the piston rods tolocate into the leveling beam always rotate clockwise andwithout hydraulic pressure in the system. This is to preventany failing of the secured piston units.

Identified risks and corrective actions

Risk assessment acc. to EN1050

A possible division in acceptability of safety-levels is:

1 - 4 Risk low

5 - 7 Risk medium high

8 -10 Risk high

11-14 Risk very high

Ref Identified potential hazard Probable consequence/injury Corrective actions Risk

1Squeezing hand, finger or foot by FMS during installation

Fractures

Handle the FMS with 2 persons, 1 at the each side, having their hands on the lower part of the lifting sling. It is to be considered to provide this preferred gripping section with rubber gripping pads (or such) indicating that this is a safe gripping area. It is also good practise to manually handle the FMS gripping the skirt/top plate.

5

2Sharp corners may cause cuts, for example while lifting slips.

Injury of body parts. Wear personal safety equipment 3

3 Breaking of lifting sling. Fractures of body parts

While pulling up the FMS out of the RST with the 2 way lifting sling it is required to unlock the rotary table lock (if applicable). Not doing so will cause the 2 way lifting sling to break prior to the breaking of the rotary table locks. The breaking cables might injure the drilling crew.

5

4Feet placed above the hole when the FMS is lowered into the rotary table

Cut of feetFollow up rig procedures / Read manual / Follow training

6

5

Get fingers/hand jammed between top plate and skirt while opening/closing top plate.

Fractures of fingers/hand

A safe gripping area is present in the form of green handles on the top plate. The top plate itself is not very heavy but could cause injury when handled wrongly.

5

6Get pinched between slips and body during installation / removing of the slips

Injury of fingers, handWhile changing slips, tool should be hydraulically disconnected.

5

7

Get pinched between leveling beam and sliding plate during installation / removing of the slips

Injury of fingers, handWhile changing slips, tool should be hydraulically disconnected.

5

8

Get stuck between leveling beam and body during installing/removing lower or upper link pins.

Loss of fingers, hand

Follow up rig procedures / Read manual / Follow training.New “screw type” pins are available which can be (dis-) engaged from outside the FMS). No need to put your hand in unsafe location any more.

5

9Get hit by the FMS during lifting operations

Fractures of bodyFollow up rig procedures / Read manual / Follow training

1

10Loosing lynch clip pin when removing upper or lower link pins due to broken chain

Objects falling into wellCarry out Inspection according to procedures

11Oil in system is under high pressure and in case of leakage it may spurt out

Injection of oil into or through the body

Hose gets damaged by wrong hoisting procedureHoses have a burst pressure of 5.5 x working pressure and are protected by a stainless steel coating.The possible damage of hoses by wrong hoisting procedures is as far as possible reduced by using quick disconnects. External hoses should be disconnected at all times when hoisting tool.

5

12Rotating the rotary tabel and the FMS with hydraulic hoses connected

Grabbed by the hoses, fractures and bruises

Follow up rig procedures / Read manual / Follow training

2

13

Tripping over the FMS because FMS is not completely flush with rotary table

BruisesFollow up rig procedures / Read manual / Follow training

3

14Tripping over the hydraulic hoses lying on the work floor

BruisesFollow up rig procedures / Read manual / Follow training

3

15 Colliding with open top plate BruisesFollow up rig procedures / Read manual / Follow training

3

16Unable to talk to each other because of the noise on the rig floor

Misunderstan dings and failures

On the rig floor it is very noisy so that it is difficult to communicate by talk. This can lead to miss- understanding. Varco recommends the driller to be the operator of the FMS.

5

17Installing/removing of the insert carriers by manual force

Excessive effort Use tugger line into dedicated lifting holes. 5

18 Casing jobs are monotonous Carelessness during the job

The danger exists of carelessness during the jobs. This is hard to avoid and therefore the FMS should be operated by instructed people only.

5

19Top plate open when there is no pipe in the hole

Get stuck in the hole of the FMS, abrasions, bruises

Ensure top plate is closed when possibleFollow up rig procedures / Read manual / Follow training

5

20

Not reading the manual / not being instructed, may result in hazardous situations when described procedures are not carried out properly

Several injuries possible

This may result in hazardous situations because dictated procedures are not carried out properly. Every FMS will have to be supplied with instructions for safe operation. These instructions are written in accordance with the requirements of the Machinery Directive.
