IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF MANUFACTURING AND SERVICE PERFORMANCE OF THREADS FOR OIL COUNTRY TUBULAR GOODS

PDF

Abstract

The development of the oil and gas industry is accompanied by increasingly stringent requirements for the reliability, durability, and leak-tightness of threaded connections in Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG). Casing, tubing, and drill pipes are op erated under conditions of high internal and external pressures, substantial axial and torsional loads, cyclic loading, elevated temperatures, and exposure to aggressive corrosive environments. Under these operating conditions, the quality of threaded connections largely determines the operational reliability of tubular strings, t he safety of technological processes, and the efficiency of oil and gas field development. Operational experience indicates that a significant proportion of tubular string failures is associated with damage to threaded connections caused by plastic deformation of the thread flanks, distortion of the thread profile geometry, wear of the contacting surfaces, initiation of fatigue cracks, and loss of leak -tightness.
