Pulling
1.
Alignment is equally as critical for pulling as it is for
running pipe.

Ensure travelling block / top drive is aligned with the
hole, 20% deflection is excessive.

The use of a weight compensator is recommended.
4.
Unlock the ARK bolt with the use of a hexagonal key.
5.
Move the ARK to the unlocked position and tighten
lock bolt.
6.
Ensure all ARK(s) are deactivated.
7.
It is possible to break out the connection with the
ARK(s) installed however the break out torques will be
significantly higher than normal.
8.
Back up tong if used should be placed on the pipe
body.
9.
Break and spin out under 5 RPM.
10.
Ensure vertical stabilization of the pipe when
breaking and spinning out.
11.
When rotating out use the previously scribed
alignment marks to prevent connection bump.

spin on the last engaged thread.
