Pre-job hydraulics verification per the proposed BHA report should be conducted as soon as they arrive at the location so that there is ample time to make changes should they be required. These verifications are visual checks and verifications per the BHA/Motor/Bit record of what is available on location. Add language that makes it clear the Technical Field Representative performs these duties via a visual inspection and through reports but there is no physical handling of the tool. Perform pre-job BHA checks to verify BHA component lengths, ID’s and OD’s, from Directional Driller’s BHA report. BHA reports must be sent to Houston or loaded into Drakewell prior to picking up BHA.
