SPECTRA™ TUBING CUTTERS

FIELD ASSEMBLY and ARMING

January 21, 2010

1.0 DESCRIPTION
1.1 Titan Spectra™ Tubing Cutters (see Page 9 for specifications) are designed for
maximum interchangeability with accessory equipment commonly used in
operating commercial Tubing Cutters in the field:
a) The top of the Cutter Assembly (Fig. 1, Page 6) is equipped with the
commonly used 1-3/16”–12 2B threads for connecting to most Extension
Mandrels/Shock Subs being used in the field. A size 568-214 Viton O-ring is
employed for sealing.
b) Rubber Sleeve (GPR-56659) is used for mounting the Detonator (DETO-
A161-AP or equivalent).
c) Connection from the Extension Mandrel to Firing Head/CCL/or other device is
at the option of the user. However, certain specific Safe Arming Procedures
are essential, as detailed in Section 2.0 and 3.0.
1.2 Tubing Cutters are PREASSEMBLED with Booster and all necessary internal
components and therefore ready for assembly and arming at the wellsite.
Note: It is not recommended to disassemble this Tubing Cutter. Should
disassembly be required for some reason, RETURN THE DEVICE TO THE
MANUFACTURER.
1.3 One inline Bow Spring Centralizer must be mounted immediately above the Tubing
Cutter (or Shock Mandrel) and one between the Cablehead and the Weight Bar(s)
to ensure a properly positioned (centralized) toolstring. A centralizer to assure
maximum performance is permanently mounted on the bottom of the tool.
1.4 Several methods of arming the Tubing Cutter are described in Section 2.0 and 3.0.

See Figures 1, 2 & 3 on Pages 6, 7 and 8 for pictorial assembly details.

See the SPECTRA™ Tubing Cutter chart on Page 10 for the selection of the proper
Tubing Cutter for common applications.

2.0 FIELD ASSEMBLY / THROUGH MANDREL / ARMING PROCEDURE

This section for use with an Extension Mandrel (user supplied) or HES-
100158266 Shock Sub (without button contact). See Fig, 1 & 2 on Page 6 and 7
for details.

2.1 Pre-check electric cable circuit, cable head, CCL and any adapters for electrical
continuity and insulation prior to off-loading the Tubing Cutter Assembly (See API
RP 67).
2.2 Turn off radios, welders, cathodic protection devices (in accordance with RP 67);
turn off generator of perforating unit; be sure cable Safety Switch is in SAFE mode;
measure stray voltages between unit to ground, rig to ground and wellhead to
ground, ensuring no stray voltages are present. Electrically bond perforating unit,
rig and wellhead with grounding straps.
ENSURE THAT NO VOLTAGE IS PRESENT BETWEEN CABLE CONDUCTOR
AND GROUND, USING AN APPROVED BLASTER’S MULTIMETER.
2.3 Remove Detonator (DETO-A161-AP or equivalent) from proper storage and install
into Rubber Sleeve (GPR-56659) as shown in Fig. 2A, assuring that detonator
leads remain shorted.
Make sure that the detonator length is set correctly as indicated in Fig. 2A, and
shown below:
2-1/2" -- 63 mm

 2.4 Feed Detonator wires through Extension Mandrel Fig. 2B, and install Rubber
Sleeve over end of Extension Mandrel as shown in Fig. 2C.
2.5 Install Safety Sub onto Extension Mandrel (over Detonator), hand tight only. Cut
Detonator wires to proper length for connection. Then connect Detonator wires to
Connecting Device one lead to power, one to ground (Fig. 2D). The ground
connection should be a positive one, such as provided by a 10-32 screw. (NOTE:
Many failures to fire [misruns] are caused by a defective ground connection).
2.6 Make-up Extension Mandrel to Connecting Device, assuring that loose wires are
not damaged by threads or mechanical connection. Electrical continuity of the
detonator ground circuit and detonator resistance value should be reconfirmed at
this time with an approved Blaster’s Multimeter.
2.7 BE SURE SAFETY KEY IS VISIBLE AT THE ARMING SITE. Assure that no
voltage exists at the bottom electrical connection of the wireline tools or cablehead.
Attach the Connecting Device to the cablehead (or wireline tools).
2.8 Remove the Safety Sub.
2.9 Carefully install the Tubing Cutter Assembly over the Detonator Assembly; snug-up
the threads with a non-sparking wrench, assuring that 568-214 Viton O-ring is in
place (Fig 2E).
2.10 The Tubing Cutter Assembly is ready to run in the hole.
Note: When checking Detonator circuit electrically:
a) Use an approved Blasting Multimeter;
b) Assure that the Detonator is either contained within a Detonator Safety Tube
or the Safety Sub during any test.

3.0 FIELD ASSEMBLY / PREWIRED DETONATOR ARMING

PROCEDURE
This section for use with HES-100008258 Shock Sub with button contact. See
Fig. 1 & 3 on Page 6 and 8 for details.

3.1 Pre-check electric cable circuit, cable head, CCL and any adapters for electrical
continuity and insulation prior to off-loading the Tubing Cutter Assembly (See API
RP 67).
3.2 Turn off radios, welders, cathodic protection devices (in accordance with RP 67);
turn off generator of perforating unit; be sure cable Safety Switch is in SAFE mode;
measure stray voltages between unit to ground, rig to ground and wellhead to
ground, ensuring no stray voltages are present. Electrically bond perforating unit,
rig and wellhead with grounding straps.
ENSURE THAT NO VOLTAGE IS PRESENT BETWEEN CABLE CONDUCTOR
AND GROUND, USING AN APPROVED BLASTERS MULTIMETER.
3.3 Install Firing Head (with Steel Thread Protector - 3924-12P-FBE installed) into top
of Shock Sub hand tight (Fig. 3A). The Thread Protector acts as an electrical
Shunt Plug, and must be utilized.

3.4 Remove detonator (DETO-D1208-P, or equivalent) with rubber sleeve and spring
contact from proper storage.
Make sure that the detonator length is set correctly as indicated in Fig. 3B, and
shown below:

2-1/2" - 63 mm.

Shunt
Wire

3.5 Remove the Shunt wire and moisture seal tape from the detonator (Fig. 3B) and
install the detonator onto Shock Sub (Fig. 3C). Uncoil enough of the ground wire
from the small diameter of the boot to provide 2” (50.8 mm) of wire above the large
diameter of the boot when it is extended from the small diameter and formed over
the edge of the large diameter.
Wrap the ground wire clockwise, looking from the detonator end, into the O-ring
groove above the boot. Push the 568-020 O-ring up into the groove assuring that
the end and about 2” (50 mm) of ground wire is retained between O-ring and
mandrel (Fig. 3C).
3.6 Install Safety Sub (9000-150-022) onto Shock Sub (over detonator), hand tight only
(Fig. 3-D). Remove the Steel Thread Protector / Shunt Plug from top and confirm
electrical continuity and detonator resistance value. Re-install Steel Thread
Protector / Shunt Plug until assembly is ready for installation to the cablehead (or
wireline tools).
3.7 BE SURE SAFETY KEY IS VISIBLE AT THE ARMING SITE. Assure that no
voltage exists at the bottom electrical connection of the wireline tools or cablehead.
Remove Steel Thread Protector/Shunt Plug and connect firing head to the wireline
tools or cablehead. This connects the detonator lead to the hot wire.
3.8 Unscrew Safety Sub and carefully install the Tubing Cutter Assembly over the
Detonator Assembly and snug threads with a non-sparking wrench. Assure that
568-214 Viton O-ring is in place (Fig. 3-E).
3.9 The Tubing Cutter is ready to run in the hole.
Note: When checking Detonator circuit electrically:
a) Use an approved Blasting Multimeter;
b) Assure that the Detonator is either contained within a Detonator Safety Tube
or the Safety Sub during any test.

4.0 DISARMING THE TUBING CUTTER ASSEMBLY

4.1 Prior to going into the well

4.1.1 Remove Tubing Cutter Assembly (by unscrewing) from Extension
Mandrel.
4.1.2 Install Safety Sub over detonator, hand tight.
4.1.3 Remove Extension Mandrel from Connecting Device; remove Safety Sub,
remove Detonator and return the Detonator Assembly to proper storage.
4.2 After running into the well
4.2.1 Follow reverse procedure as that outlined in 3.0 or 4.0 above. If
connections prove hard to break (reflecting high torque), STOP. Call your
Field Technical Representative for assistance.
