Power Swivel "Drilling Operations" Questions

Hi everyone, we are planning to use power swivel for drilling, this is my first time using it so I have the following questions:

Drill approximately 320m of 12 ¼” and 8 ½” hole utilising an SP120 power swivel.

• What is the well control procedure “Hard Shut-In” when using a power swivel?
• How is a connection made with a power swivel when drilling with singles of drill pipe? i, e how is the saver sub made up to the joint and can it make up connections to the spec values say 13 k and this power swivel is an 8 k rated?
• What is the procedure for breaking out and laying down singles when POOH and backreaming with a power swivel? i, e if the connection at the swivel is over torqued how can it be broken out?
• If there are any other concerns that I am missing, please mention them.

Many thanks - Maher
