is a transparent lubricating film applied in the mill on the surface of threads
of some newly developed threads of the VAM® family. Developed for
Carbon steel and Cr13 material, it is designed to prevent the use of thread
compound containing substances having properties damaging to the environment
and or the health. Its proven anti-corrosion properties, together with the
facility of inspection, makes a successful combination of environmental
respect, safer and cleaner job, improved well production.
| BENEFITS |
- No heavy metals nor health damaging content
- Anti-corrosion properties equivalent to storage dope
- Easy thread inspection
- Prevent Rig thread cleaning
- Minimise yard and rig handling
- Prevent plugging formation pores |
This is
a environmental considerable improvement. No need to remove protectors, to
clean threads prior running.This has the advantage not to leave un-protected
threads on the deck: less damage will occur.
The more difficult the well, the more the advantage of this process: from ERD
wells to gravel pack job, from the spudding date to the last day prior
producing, from the yard to unused pipes and protectors returns, all steps are
benefiting from
Mechanical performance
properties, make-up torque figures and blanking dimensions are not changed due
to application.
