Bul-115 is the second production well to be drilled during the 2020 Mak-Ban Steam Production
Enhancement Campaign (MBSPEC) and the second of the three wells to be drilled from BUL-003A/-
88 Wellpad. Bul-115 is directed towards the NNW sector of the production area to target the NW
Bulalo Hotspot/ Upflow and the silicic unit-related permeability and feedzones observed in Bul-104
and Bul-108. Like the Bul-114, Bul-115 will be cased until the top of the Andesite Lava Marker (ALM),
thus allowing production only from the deep. P50 steam production forecast for this well is 120
kph.
Bul-115 will be a big hole completion with planned total depth of 10,750 ft.-MD (10,640 ft.-TVD).
The TD of the well is similar to the TD of Bul-104 where temperatures of 640°F are found. Drilling
to this depth also aims to probe high-temperature sector the reservoir for potential permeability
for further development (VOI). Bul-115 will be drilled directionally to a target azimuth of 318° - with
KOP=1300ft to a final inclination of 20° at a BUR of 2.5°/100ft. It will be allowed to naturally drop
(0.4-0.6°/100ft) until it reaches its final depth.
All depths in this Drilling Program will be in reference to rotary table elevation in ft.-MD (feet
measure depth), depth measured along the well path; and ft.-TVD (true vertical depth)- vertical
projections of the well path in a directional well. Measured depths are all referenced to TDC Rig 2
Rig Floor will be noted as ft.-MD.
Well Objective
The objective of the well is to intersect the following markers / structures at the following depths:

Management Guidelines
PGPC is committed to conducting all wellbore related activities in a safe, practical, and effective
manner. It is recognized that continuous change is necessary to improve the wellbore processes.
Ideas and recommendations for improvement are welcome from any party involved in this process.
The PGPC Drilling Representative is the ultimate authority and responsibility for all rig site
operations. The drilling contractor's Rig Manager and Toolpusher should communicate and
coordinate rig site activities with the approval of the PGPC Drilling Representative. Service company
representatives and other PGPC personnel are required to coordinate their activities through the
PGPC Drilling Representative.
This Drilling Program is to be used as a guideline only. Changes can and should be made in
response to actual drilling conditions. Proposed changes to the program must be made only after
consultation with the Makati Based Team and with concurrence of the Drilling Superintendent and
approval of the Drilling Manager. If appropriate, changes should be documented in accordance
with the PGPC Drilling Department “Engineering and Change Management Control Policy”.
1.1. Review rig move plan and layout with drilling and service contractor’s representatives.
Any change in the approved layout requires an issuance of MOC. Prepare and move to
the drilling location based on the Thermaprime rig layout approved by PGPC.
Thermaprime Rig Manager and PGPC Drilling Representative to inspect and accept the
wellsite prior move.
1.2. Install flood line from desander pump to both of the wing valves (Ensure to install
sacrificial valves, if available check valve, pressure gauge and flow meter).
1.3. DR to verify with MB Team fresh water pit is full and ready to go. Verify fresh water
supply rate from bore to Bul-3A/88 well site and bore to fresh water pit is in place.
1.4. Verify brine / condensate line to Bul-3A/88 installed before spud. This will be needed
as back up fluid volume in case of a well control incident if there is no fresh water left
and it will need to be used either at the end of the 26” hole section or start of the 17
½” hole section
1.5. Flow test water supply in the Rig. Minimum requirement water supply will be 35 bpm
(Fresh water / FW with Brine). Only fresh Water is allowed to be used while drilling 26”
hole section unless for well control purposes.
1.6. Alert Mak-Ban Clinic of rig location. Conduct ambulance drill.
1.7. PGPC IT to function test rig site communication systems and data transmissions. PGPC-
Drilling may declare delay in spud if IT communications is not satisfactory
1.8. Conduct onsite safety roles and responsibilities meeting prior to commencing activities.
1.9. PGPC DR’s to complete pre-spud inspection checklist (Attach 1)
1.9.1. Function test emergency standalone fire pump. Check all other fire
extinguishers.
1.9.2. Gather baseline data on H2S and noise level. Function test H2S monitoring
equipment, hold pre-spud H2S muster drill and review station drill
requirements with the entire crew.
1.10. Perform pressure test using TA Global cementing unit.
1.10.1. Stump test BOP 300 psi for 5 minutes and 1500 psi for 10 minutes with water
(off line). Conduct Koomey unit draw down test. (Blind rams / pipe rams /
annular bop all 300 / 1500 psi )
1.10.2. Pressure test all choke manifold valves to 300 psi for 5 minutes and 1500 psi
for 10 minutes with water (offline).
1.10.3. Function test mud pumps. Confirm # 3 mud pump belts are tight.
1.10.4. Ensure mud pump suction line strainers are in place and cleaned regularly.
1.10.5. Using TA Global, test all standpipe connections and standpipe manifold with
water to 300 psi for 5 minutes and 3500 psi for 10 minutes. TA Global to tie-in
2.1. All volumes, time, test pressures, and depths stated in this procedure may change
depending on the well conditions and other parameters encountered during the actual
drilling operation with approval of drilling team in town.
2.2. All depths mentioned in the Drilling Procedure is referenced to TDC Rig 2 Rotary Table,
RT-GL = 30.5 ft.
2.3. Prior/During RIH:

(with drill pipe makeup torque set at 27k, top drive drilling torque set at 25k.
close grabber and increase rotaty torque against grabber to 25k and hold for
2 minutes – check for hydraulic leaks while holding 25k torque)
