Challenging ultra-deepwater frontiers beckon for well construction, completion technology

摘要

This new tool joint connection has shown significant improvements in both mechanical performance and operating costs: Torque capability up to two times that of API connections, resulting in optimum resistance in harsh environments; Significant trip time savings, up to 16 percent compared with competing products. This translates into thousands of dollars saved for one deep offshore well today; Extended service life and reduced operating cost as a result of fewer recuts and less refacing operations.
