Kurau Field Trip V - Day 3

by Eko Prasetyo @ 7:13 AM

Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us Finally did something, although not my original intention of coming here. I watched, under a scorching sun, the hassles of commisionning a new well. There seems to be so many elements of it went wrong and needed to be fixed right away. Elements like the placement of its various annulus valves and the calibration of its power supply control panel.

The valves were put in wrong positions by the drilling crew, and the wellservice guys needed to manually relocated them so that the well can be put into proper production state.

The supply control panel shows that the power used are somewhat below standard, so the seasoned engineers needed to know whether the panel were already calibrated or not.

Well..no smooth start for this one, that's for sure
