STAGE CEMENTING EQUIPMENT TOP-CO Sequence of Operation step1. 2. step step 2. step 3. hydraulic mechanical Step 1 - Step 2 - Step 2 - Step 3 - Stage collar in running-in and first stage cementing position. First stage shut-off plug will pass through stage cementing collar while displacing first stage cement, landing on baffle plate located in float collar. HYDRAULIC opening: Opening sleeve is shifted down by applying hydraulic casing pressure, allowing second stage cement to be displaced through the ports. MECHANICAL opening: Opening dart is dropped (free-fall), and landed in the opening seat. casing pressure is applied, the opening sleeve is shifted to the open position allowing second stage cement to be displaced through the ports. Once the second stage cement job is complete, the closing plug lands in the stage cementing collar closing seat.

TOP-CO CENTRALIZER SUBS constructed to endure extreme conditions OVERVIEW With the energy industry s challenging and demanding performance requirements, Top-Co s Centralizer Subs are designed to withstand the most extreme deepwater down hole conditions. Manufactured from mechanical stock tubing, the centralizer subs are designed to perform in wells containing tight clearances and under-reamed hole sections. Additionally, Top-Co s customization capabilities allow the sub design to match the exact needs of most well and casing programs. Combined with Top-Co s expert Applications Engineering team and the simulations offered, the centralizer subs meet specific well requirements, as well as overcome common drilling challenges. Type 360 - D2 Centralizer - Sub, Integral/Bow Spring Designed for use in deepwater wells where tight wellbore restrictions and under-reamed sections are encountered. The D 2 model is particularly well suited for applications that require additional protection to the bow spring while running casing, and applications with uncertain or high levels of side force. Features: Solid vanes machined on the OD of a tubular sub over which a bow spring centralizer is placed. Notched bow spring collar: Bow springs are welded into the notches, resulting in a flush profile reducing minimum compressed OD. Full scale tests show bow springs cause no damage to the subsea casing hanger seal surfaces. Advantages: Compression of the bow springs between the vanes ensures their protection when going through dog legs and tight clearances. The solid vanes guarantee a minimum standoff when higher than expected side forces are encountered. Stress caused by inadvertent rotation is distributed evenly around the collar instead of being concentrated on a single bow, reducing the risk of failure. Vane dimensions are customizable to increase flow by area and standoff. Particularly well suited for reciprocation. The centralizer will stay in place due to the notched collar design. Guaranteed stand-off that will lead to improved mud displacement and cementing.

Also available with slip on design (Type 450). Centralizer Installation Preferred installation is over the stop collar. This allows for the bow spring centralizer to be pulled into the hole during run-in (Fig 1). Pushing the centralizer will increase starting and running forces and may damage the bows. Placement over the coupling eliminates need for stop collar but can reduce standoff at midspan (Fig 2). For solid body centralizers, stop collars are recommended to be placed above and below centralizer (Fig 3), but can also be installed between collar and coupling (Fig 4), or they are installed to float between couplings.

Fit-for-Purpose Casing, Cementing, and Completion Solutions ENGINEERED CASING CENTRALIZATION PROGRAMS ABSTRACT Fit-for-purposed engineered casing centralization programs, based on actual downhole conditions AND drilling practices, can help to minimize the compromise between getting casing to bottom and achieving good zonal isolation. Pre and post installation analysis must be conducted to identify the main expected challenges and implement mitigating techniques. Close communication between operator and manufacturer increases the chances of success. CONSIDERATIONS Review and evaluate previous casing centralization programs. Discuss with the drilling engineer past experiences in running casing in the area. If available, obtain relevant data from offset wells. Competency of formations. Type of formations and abrasiveness. Location of permeable formations. Location and severity of washout sections. Wellbore stability concerns. Drilling mud type (OBM, WBM). Define maximum bottomhole temperature. Type of bottom hole assembly. Type of stabilizers. Casing running practices. Discuss with the production engineer zonal isolation issues or concerns. If available, discuss results from micro-seismic. Consider formation pressure windows and ECD concerns during cementing. Define cementing objectives. BALANCING COMPETING FORCES Centralizer OD: improves stand-off but increases drag. Centralization at mid-span: improves mud removal but allows couplings to increase drag. Installation over coupling: reduces drag but reduces removal of excess mud cake (differential pressure sticking). Installation over coupling: reduces drag but reduces stand-off. Higher restoring forces: better stand-off but higher stiffness. Semi-rigid centralizers: higher restoring forces but lower performance in washouts. Polymer centralizers: lower coefficient of friction but lower wear resistance. Fixed to casing: overcomes drag but increases torque. Spiral blades: promote fluid agitation but bulldoze cuttings. Straight blades: reduced drag but less bridging effect. Two smaller centralizers versus one larger centralizer. Stop collars: improve positioning but take longer to install. Floating installation: easier reciprocation but less mud removal. Blade count: higher stability but lower flow by area. ANALYSIS AND FIT-FOR-PURPOSE SELECTION Evaluate well trajectory. Identify changes in: curvature, inclination angle, hole diameter, casing specifications. Identify tops of annular fluids. Break up the casing string in meaningful sections. If working with planned survey, consider artificial tortuosity. If working with actual survey, review slide sheet to check for possible hidden dog legs. Evaluate hole cleaning practices and determine the possibility of cuttings left behind. Run API 10D tests of the proposed bow spring centralizers in each interval; use test results in torque and drag simulations. Run sensitivity analysis on casing running friction factors; adjust accordingly based on intervals, under-gage, tortuosity, cuttings, etc. Conduct axial load analysis, considering additional side forces from buckling. 32 www.top-co.us Technical Support Line: Phone: +1.780.440.4440 Toll Free: +1.866.640.4440
