Increasingly Challenging Drilling Environments

The continuous development in oil and as drillin operations has resulted in a sinificant increase

in extended-reach wells and horizontal drillin procedures. These deeper and more deviated wells call

for drill strins with hiher torsional yield strenth drill pipe bodies and reater torque capacity tool joints

than standard API connections can offer.

Due to the hih financial risks associated with drillin operations today, oil and as companies

are continuously lookin at mitiatin drillin risks and reducin total drillin costs. This involves

improvin drillin efficiency and optimizin drillin prorams by usin versatile assets with superior

performance capabilities.

Operational Challenges

Standard API connections have shown their limitations, both in terms of reach and in terms of hydraulic

efficiency when drillin complex wells in challenin environments. Proprietary rotary double shoulder

connections with API thread forms provide the extra performance capabilities necessary to facilitate

drillin in all environments includin extended reach or ultra-deep wells and deepwater drillin,

especially when combined with Sour Service or Arctic conditions.

The Solution

VAM EIS is a hih-torque, double-shoulder connection

that is fully intermateable with API connections. As additional

torque is applied, the pin nose makes contact with the internal

shoulder. The internal shoulder absorbs the hiher frictional

load, providin the connection with improved torque

capability.VAM EIS hih strenth double shoulder

connections from Vallourec set a new connection performance

standard at cost efficiencies similar to that of API connections.The additional torsional strenth provides exceptional

performance in the most difficult well conditions, such as

hihly deviated or extended reach wells. This desin also

benefits service life with a sinificantly reater wear capability.

VAM EIS is available in drill pipe sizes from 2-7/8 to 6-5/8

OD, includin 5-7/8, and in a wide rane of steel rades,

includin Sour Service, low temperature and Hih Strenth.

Operational Benefits

Hiher torque performance comes standard with VAM EIS.

The additional torsional strenth provides exceptional

performance in difficult drillin conditions such as extended

reach drillin, horizontal wells and deviated wells.

VAM EIS is fully intermateable with API and offers:

hiher torsional strenth than standard API connections

(about 50% more than API)

improved hydraulics and annular clearance

fully tested intermateability with API connections

extended MU rane offerin more flexibility for varyin

operational requirements

loner service life

Significantly higher performance

than standard API connections:

130 KSI standard tool joint

hiher torsional capacity than standard

API connections

increased allowable tool joint OD wear

Improved hydraulic performance:

allows for usin similar ODs but with

increased IDs while increasin torsional

strenth

possibility of smaller ODs & Larer IDs while

keepin constant torsional strenth

improved hydraulics & annular clearance
