Wireline equipment allows t e riller to recover t e inner tube and t e core it contains wit out aving to wit draw t e rod string. Wireline core barrels are run on large bore wireline rods. T e large diameter pipe allows t e inner tube to move up or down inside t e rods. T e wireline coring system is deployed by any means of t e Sample Winch as follows:

. Switch the diverter valve on the console to supply the sample winch. otor.

. Release the winch footbrake and pull on the clutch lever to lift the wireline overshot from the mousehole tube. . Fit the core barrel as required. . Hoist the wireline overshot with core barrel attached to it, into the derrick above the Sampling Platform and hold it there using the footbrake whilst releasing the clutch.

7. Lower the wireline overshot carefully into the drill string by releasing the footbrake.

. Remove the shear pin and heave up the winch to lift the wireline overshot weight to the top of its travel as indicated by the mark on the wire coming down to the winch then release the lever smartly to allow the weight to fall. . nce the overshot reached the bottom at bit section, the spring inside the overshot tube will allows inner tube to sit on the bit and in concurrent, the lifting dogs which clamped together to spearhead will latched and releasing the overshot from the overshot head of the core barrel section.

To replace inner tube in rod string 1. Lift inner tube with winch and position it in the top of the rod string. . Position spanner to hold inner tube, before removing inner tube safety release and replacing it with the overshot. There is potential to drop inner tube if overshot dogs are knocked. Use care.

3. Before lowering the inner tube, add the overshot dry release. . Lower the inner tube, listening until it latches in the barrel, then winch overshot back to murface and remove. There is potential for loose cable to hook on personnel or equipment. Lower overshot at a safe speed and be aware of cable slack. . Slide rotation head back across and reconnect to rod string.

Preserving and Transporting Soil Samples The proper preservation and handling of samples from sediments and cores is critical for integrity of the materials and quality of geo-mechanical laboratory test results. A muggested sample and core handling and preservation procedure is as follows:

. Remove the core from split coring barrel A1 reservoir), and cut the core to 1. meters length with an electric saw. And record:   Start and end depths of the sample/core; and Loss of material broken material should be removed) and its interval.

3. Whilst conducting Step 1:  Fit a cap to one end of the PV tube

. Place the PV tube at a low angle from the floor and slide the sample/core back into the tube. Slowly raise the tube whilst sliding in the sample/core . Fill the free space between the sample/corer and tube with high density foam material. If there are loss materials, fill the free space in the top end of the PV tube with high density foam material or sponge. . Fit a cap to the open end of the PV tube. heck the seal of both ends of the PV tube prior to placing it mtanding vertically in wooden shipping crate and cover it with sufficient protective material.

7.

Sample and core preservation and handling procedure are to be clarified. Procedure All samples must be properly identified with tags, labels and marking prior to transporting them as follows: i. ii. iii. iv. v. vi. vii. viii. Job name or number, or both Sampling date Sample/boring number or location Depth or elevation, or both Sample orientation Special shipping or laboratory handling instructions, or both including sampling orientation and; Penetration test data, if applicable Subdivided samples must be identified while maintaining association to the original sample

1. Extrude the sample from the sampling tube sediments)

Rotary oring Sample Handling and Sub Sample Selection

1. Rotary core samples are obtained from a triple tube core barrel which can be used in conjunction with the purpose modified API BHA. In any given borehole the first core run shall be denoted R01 and subsequent core runs R02, R03 and so on. Note: (It is important to note that core runs may be alternated with other downhole sampling and testing techniques as dictated by the ground conditions encountered and the Scope of Work for that particular project. To avoid confusion the core run numbers should always follow in numerical sequence in respect to each other regardless of any other sampling or testing techniques undertaken between cores run). 2. The eotechnical Engineer must ensure that the nomenclature is consistent for the Driller's Log, Shift Engineer's Activity Report and PT perator's log if necessary.

3. The Driller shall record the depth and time at the mtart of each core run on the Driller's log; Note: (This information should also be recorded by the Geotechnical Engineer on the Shift Engineer's Activity Log. Upon conclusion of each core run the Driller shall record the depth and time on the Driller's Log which should also be recorded by the Geotechnical Engineer on the Shift Engineer's Log).

. The core barrel shall then be recovered to deck by means of a wireline overshot and then lowered to the break-out table.

. The wireline will be disconnected and core barrel broken out as described in Drilling perating Procedure D07.

Core Logging Upon receipt of each core into the ffshore Laboratory the eotechnical Engineer shall confirm ore Logging to default BS 930 or as otherwise defined in the Scope of recovery to the Driller. Work) shall then be undertaken by the eotechnical Engineer to include but not limited to): y Total ore Recovery T R) = ratio of core recovered solid and non intact) to the length of the ore Run.

Fracture Index = a count of the number or spacing of fractures over an arbitrary length of core of similar intensity of fracturing. It is commonly expressed as a fracture index FI, number of fractures per metre) or as Fracture Spacing If, mm). eological/geotechnical description as defined by the project Scope of Work. ote: The eotechnical Engineer/ eologist should perform offshore field logging of core samples without disturbing the core such that the integrity is lost and compromise any potential onshore testing that may be applicable as defined by the Scope of Work. It may be beneficial to undertake the core photography procedure detailed below prior to geological/geotechnical description if the material recovered is fragile or sensitive.

Note:

The eotechnical Engineer shall then instruct the Laboratory Technician with regard to any required ffshore Laboratory Testing requirements for example moisture content or point load) or sub-sampling requirements for each core run. The Laboratory Technician shall then prepare the recovered core for photography with the assistance of the eotechnical Engineer.

Core Photography i. The recovered core sections shall be carefully prepared for photography by removing any drilling fluids and/or smear along the length of the core recovered. The core shall then be placed onto the photoboard which shall be set up for the specific project information, borehole information and core run reference number. The top and base of each core run shall be clearly marked at the actual depth represented on the photoboard. Any zones of core loss sho uld also be clearly defined with cut to size polystyrene spacer and denoted core loss. All core loss is assumed to be from the base of the core run unless advised otherwise by the Driller.

ii.

iii.

Note: (The photoboard has capacity to display up to 3m of total depth for each photograph taken, therefore each photograph may show more than one core run and must be labelled accordingly. All core sections displayed on the photoboard must represent a true record against depth. In the event that a core run is either immediately preceded or followed by another downhole technique the range of that sample or test must be proportionally represented on the photoboard with the relevant sample/test number.)

Note:

ollowing core logging, photography and sub -sample selection the remaining core shall be wrapped in lay flat plastic sheeting to prevent moisture loss. Core sections shall then be placed in a clearly labelled core box to provide a true depth representation of material recovered. Core boxes shall be clearly marked with project details and details of the core sections thatthey contain and then transferred to the offshore storage facility to minimise any potential sample disturbance.
