VAM Field Service International in Aberdeen, UK organise training
seminars which are known as
VAM AWARENESS SCHOOLS
VAM Awareness Schools are provided in response to end users (Oil
Company) request for training for casing crew and inspection companies
about field use of pipes, threaded connections and VAM threads.
These schools are designed to train the Casing Crew Chiefs and local
inspection companies personnel of handling, field inspection and
running of VAM Connections. The seminars are designed to be specific
