RigUp is one of the primary phases to success a MWD/LWD Job, the first step of rigging up equipments is to perform a visit of the installation prior mobilization and take a note of all requirements:

• Sensors requirement and mechanical connections also accessibilities (ex. Space in the draw-work)
  
• T-piece and hummer union connection type on manifold and goose-neck
• Rig system Profibus and/or Intranet (IP range, gate way etc…)
• MWD unit voltage.
• MWD unit placement hazard zone.
• Rigfloor monitor.
• Radioactive storage area.
• Internet connectivity (redundant if critical Realtime data transmission)
• Tool programming pipe deck zone.
• Cables path optimization (skid zone)
• Surface system and backups.
• Third party WITS requirement.
• PTW (Permit to work procedure instructions)
• Drill pipes connection types.
• Chain tong length and iron roughneck capacity.
• The degree of accessibility of tools on the pipe deck (overhead crane heavy work, restricted, etc…)

A clean rig down will save the equipment from damaging, avoiding forgetting cables or sensors in the installation and damaging the installation of other third party (Like Mud logging company…)
