1500 Foot Well Completion.
WARNING
Inspect welds on working base for cracks or breaks before setting casing. Have welds repaired before
use to prevent injury or damage to equipment.
a. A rig auxiliary kit (see Appendix B) used with the 1500 Foot Well Completion Kit provides the capability to drill
and complete wells to a depth of 1500 feet. A spider base (168 F 530), or working base (KT-1992-TRSC)
included in the kit provides a support for the additional weight of the extra 900 feet of steel casing in the
completion kit.
WARNING
Do not use the H-1 75-B hoisting plug furnished with the 600 Foot Well Drilling System to handle loads in
excess of 20,000 pounds. Failure to observe this warning could result in serious injury to personnel or
damage to equipment.
b. The following procedures are for handling and setting various sizes of casing.
NOTES
Casing handling adapters or hoisting plugs are used in place of the elevators furnished with the 600 Foot
Well Drilling System.
Do not use spider base or working base when drilling and using the mud pits.
When using kit (168F530) with spider base, the spider should be permanently installed, taper pointing
upward, using the four 1-inch bolts.
(1)
Place spider base (1, Figure 2-56), or working base (5), on ground beneath rear of rig, centering the
opening in base with the rig rotary table.
(2)
Use spider base, or working base, only when you set casing or the drop pipe as you install the pump.
(3)
To set casing or drop pipe, use the appropriate slips (2) or split bushings (6) in the base to hold the sections
while adding additional joints. The slips (168F530) and split bushings (KT-1992-TRSC) used for various
sizes of casing and drop pipe are as follows:

When using kit with spider base, spider bushings must be used for all sizes except 10 3/4" OD casing.
The 10 3/4' OD casing slips can only be used by removing the bushing and slips being inserted directly
into the spider.
