Introduction to Premium Thread connection of Oil Casing
The Vam Series is a well - recognized and highly regarded range of Premium threads for oil casing. 1. Sealing Mechanism The Vam Series features a metal - to - metal seal that provides excellent sealing integrity. The precision - engineered contact surfaces between the pin and the box ensure a tight seal, even under high - pressure conditions. This sealing mechanism is designed to prevent the leakage of hydrocarbons and the ingress of external fluids such as water and corrosive substances, safeguarding the wellbore's integrity. 2. Connection Strength The thread design of the Vam Series is optimized to offer robust connection strength. The load - bearing capacity of these threads is enhanced through a combination of factors such as the thread profile and the material properties. The threads are capable of withstanding the significant axial and torsional loads that are typical in deep - well and high - pressure oil and gas applications. 3. Corrosion Resistance Many of the Vam Series products incorporate advanced corrosion - resistant coatings or are made from alloys with inherent resistance to corrosion. This is crucial in environments where the casing is exposed to corrosive agents like hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, and brine. The corrosion - resistant features help to extend the service life of the casing and reduce maintenance requirements. 4. Installation Features The Vam Series threads are designed for relatively straightforward installation. They often come with features that assist in proper alignment during make - up. The connection process can be efficiently carried out using standard or specialized installation tools, minimizing the risk of cross - threading and ensuring a reliable connection. Tenaris - Hydril Series Premium Threads The Tenaris - [...]

Premium threaded tubing overview
Premium Connection tubing refers to tubing connected with Premium Connection joints. This type of tubing breaks through the framework of traditional API (American Petroleum Institute) joints in design and manufacturing to meet the higher requirements [...]
The problem of viscosity resistance is solved by the premium connection type petroleum casing
The anti-viscosity of oil casing depends on thread parameters to a great extent. Reasonable control of thread parameters can improve the anti-viscosity of oil casing. The research shows that the single parameter of API thread [...]
Selection of premium connection for high temperature and high pressure well
High temperature and high pressure wells put forward higher requirements for the premium connection. The manufacturer of the premium connection should not only pay attention to the preparatory work, screw joint design and quality assurance procedures in the early planning stage, but also run through all links of product processing, transportation and well pad.
Premium connection with double sealing surface
The casing with API standard thread connection is difficult to meet the production demand in many cases. In addition to meeting the joint performance, premium connection also needs to have good sealing performance under extreme environment and composite load.
Processing program of premium connection
The processing technology of the premium connection thread is realized by the processing program. CNC machine tools, the systems used and the specific processing procedures are different. The following common problems should be paid attention to when programming:
Processing characteristics and difficulties of premium connection
Premium connection includes thread, sealing surface and shoulder. The processing technology is complex. For example, when the coupling is processed, the distance between the thread and the sealing surface is relatively close, and a special undercut is generally designed at the end of the thread.
