Description
Placed on the downhole end of the casing string, it guides the casing inside the
well during running and prevents it hitting formations, especially in deviated or
horizontal wells.
It keeps damage from happening on the pin that belongs to the casing lower
pipe during running, what would difficult the later pass of other tools.
There are different models:
- Cement nose: It ensures a soft running and it is easily drillable.
- Notched: It is designed in order to rotate softly in case of finding
obstructions in the hole.
- Beveled: It allows a large sludge flowing in the event of obstructions in the
well.
- Downjet: Besides the cement face, it has some lateral orifices that allows an
extensive flowing whenever the string is close to the bottom of the well. It
also increases the turbulences adjacent to the show, favoring the cementing
operation in that way.

Tenaris Supply Full Package Threading Only TP supplied X
Description
The cementing basket protects weak formations from the pressure exerted by
the cement column at the annular space.
Generally, it is used in multiple stage cementing operations or whenever cement
is injected through the annular space from the surface.
There are two types of baskets: closed and of open top.
Closed baskets are basically centralizers with fine metal slats overlapped inside
that allows the cement slurry to flow upwards but not downwards.
Petals may be welded or not.
Open top baskets do not center the casing and do not allow reciprocating it
during cementing.
Casing baskets installation is similar to the centralizer one, that is to say,
fastening upset connections, coupling connections or by means of the use of
stop collars.

Centralizers N/A Centralizadores N/A
Casing and cementing Other Accessories Centralizers AO (type)
Description
They are devices used for keeping the tubular column in the center of the
wellbore centered during a given section.
Generally they are used in order to help ensure efficient placement of a uniform
cement sheath around the string during cementing.
There are several types of centralizers. Among them we can mention:
o of flexible or semi rigid spring bows
o without rigid spring bows
o straight, spiral or arch shaped spring bows
o welded or non welded
o for casing, for tubing, or for slim holes.
At the present, an active centralizer has been designed and it is mainly used in
extended or horizontal wells. Its operation principle is based on running them
closed along with the tubular string, thus, by occupying less annular space it
reduces friction forces. Then, it is opened or activated and by expanding its
blades takes the shape of a conventional centralizer.

Some models have very short steel hairs on their internal section so as to
remove scales and varnish from the casing outer face.
Basically, there are two types of scratchers: rotating and reciprocating.
Rotating scratchers are installed by means of clamps longitudinally to the casing
and their removal action is exerted by the tubular string rotation.
Reciprocating scratchers are installed similarly to a centralizer and their cake
removing effect is through tubing ascending and descending movements.

N/A
Casing & cementing Other Accessories Various AO (type)
Description
A rubber plug used to separate the cement slurry from other fluids, reducing
contamination and maintaining predictable slurry performance. Two types of
cementing plug are typically used on a cementing operation. The bottom plug is
launched ahead of the cement slurry to minimize contamination by fluids inside
the casing prior to cementing. A diaphragm in the plug body ruptures to allow
the cement slurry to pass through after the plug reaches the landing collar. The
top plug has a solid body that provides positive indication of contact with the
landing collar and bottom plug through an increase in pump pressure. Plugs
isolate cement slurry from mud Due to string setting reasons, under certain
circumstances, it is necessary to generate a cement ring of a substantial length
posing the risk of fracturing formations.

Description
- Attached to the downhole end of a casing string, it fulfills the same guiding
purpose than the Guide Shoe.
- It includes an integral check valve that allows fluid circulation from the annulus
into the casing into the hole. This causes that, during the string cementing
operation, the cement slurry that enters the annular space does not flow
reversely into the casing.
- This valve does not allow filling the string with sludge during running;
therefore, it shall be necessary to perform this operation from outside in order
to prevent the collapse of pipes.
- There are different kinds of float shows, where the valve and the spring are
replaced by one or two balls that performs the same retention function.

Description
It is a device used for artificial production of petroleum.
Basically, it is a pipe with a pocket that houses a series of valves.
A fluid is injected under pressure through the tubing / casing annulus which
enters the side pocket mandrel and favors the elevation of petroleum through
the interior of the tubing.
The number of side pocket mandrels used and the depth at which they are
located depends on the type of hydrocarbons being extracted and the pressure
of the formation.

Packer N/A Empacador N/A
Description
Accessories basically used for isolating areas of interest.
They are gaskets built with an elastomer that suffers an expansion by means a
proper system.
If the packer has been threaded onto a casing, this elastic element engages itself
against the sidewall of the well, isolating the annular space between the casing
and the well. These are the ECP (External Casing Packers).
If the packer was threaded to a tubing, the sealing element engages against the
casing, isolating the tubing / casing annular space.
The packers may also be run through the interior of the tubing.
The principle by which a packer operates may be:
- mechanical: - by means of the weight of the tubular string.
- by means of the rotation of the tubular string.
- by means of the detonation of a blasting charge.
- hydraulic: by means of the pressure of a fluid.
- inflatable: by means of filling with a fluid.
In its turn, the packers may be:
- permanent once run (generally by means of pipes or wireline) and fastened
(by rotation or blasting), they are not removed from the wellbore; that is to
say, they remain operative during the whole useful life of the well. If due to
any reason, they have to be removed, it is necessary to destroy them by
rotation with cutting tools and, therefore, they cannot be reused.
Permanent packers are usually run at well final completions and stingers are
plugged into them.
- recoverable: once fastened onto the string, it is feasible to withdraw them
at any time, whenever necessary. After a simple maintenance, it is possible
to reuse them in future operations.
Whenever run with tubing, packers may be single or double

Item not included in Accessory Master List
Description
Due to string setting reasons, under certain circumstances, it is necessary to
generate a cement ring of a substantial length posing the risk of fracturing
formations.
Multiple stage cementing devices (generally of two or three stages) allow
cementing two or three shorter annular space sections selectively instead of only
one of a considerable length.
It is threaded to the casing at the depth from which it is desired to generate the
cement ring.
Its operation is simple: In first place, the first ring is cemented from the bottom
of the well. Then a plug is entered into the casing which reaches the cementing
device, obstructs the casing inner space and simultaneously displaces a sleeve
uncovering some lateral fluid ports. Then, a new cement slurry is injected and
the ring builds from the device upwards.
At last, another plug is introduced into the string that upon reaching the device
displaces another sleeve covering the lateral fluid ports.
In case of three stage cementing, two devices are used repeating the above-
mentioned procedure, although the diameters of the sleeves and plugs are of
different sizes.
These devices are usually used with a SHUT OFF collar at the bottom of the string
replacing the conventional collar. The first launched plug locates in the shut off
collar.

Description
Manifold to command fluids through the string and the annulus space.
Choke line
A high-pressure pipe leading from an outlet on the BOP stack to the backpressure
choke and associated manifold. During well-control operations, the fluid under
pressure in the wellbore flows out of the well through the choke line to the
choke, reducing the fluid pressure to atmospheric pressure. In floating offshore
operations, the choke and kill lines exit the subsea BOP stack and then run
along the outside of the drilling riser to the surface. The volumetric and
frictional effects of these long choke and kill lines must be considered to
control the well properly.
Kill line
A high-pressure pipe leading from an outlet on the BOP stack to the high-
pressure rig pumps. During normal well control operations, kill fluid is pumped
through the drillstring and annular fluid is taken out of the well through the
choke line to the choke, which drops the fluid pressure to atmospheric pressure.
If the drillpipe is inaccessible, it may be necessary to pump heavy drilling fluid in
the top of the well, wait for the fluid to fall under the force of gravity, and
then remove fluid from the annulus. In such an operation, while one high
pressure line would suffice, it is more convenient to have two. In addition, this
provides a measure of redundancy for the operation. In floating offshore
operations, the choke and kill lines exit the subsea BOP stack and run along
the outside of the riser to the surface. The volumetric and frictional effects of
these long choke and kill lines must be taken into account to properly control
the well.

Whenever a single hydraulic tong is used as a pressure valve, it is necessary to
use another one (usually a manual one) as back-up tong.
Back-up tongs have the pressure valve and the back-up tong in the same unit.
These pieces of equipment have turn-off devices that operate whenever the
toque reaches a previously set value.
