Introduction: Industry Need
1. Unknown Performance of Connections
•
Pipe Performance exceeding connection ratings
2. Supply Requirements: Competition
• Multi-source for meeting schedule requirements
3. Cost: Competition



As important as the tubular
Failure- Financial Loss
Liability- life and property

Introduction: Operator Experience
1. Failures are found two ways:
•
•
Laboratory- Rare for a test to go without performance issue
Field -Most costly / HSE implications
2. Operators have:



Totally Eliminated Field Failures through an integrated
Qualification Program
Program involves applying what was tested, running per test,
and applying within the limits of qualification
Independent verification of test results

Connection Reliability
Environment: Test Load
Envelope/ cycling, SLE, Failure
Points, Temperature
Installation: Torque,
RPM, Thread Compound
Application, running spec.
Manufacturing (Complete Specifications)
Foundation: Design Related (FEA, ISO 13679, Design Calcs)
Design: Test to Dimensional, Makeup, and Load Extremes
Database Provides Dimensional specifications.
 Run Per Specification, within Service Load Envelope
Qualification has Eliminated Failures!
