OCTG Connections

Oilfield tubulars require a method of joining individual lengths together.

Transportation limitations, handling on location, and rig capacity for running or pulling tubulars dictate that in order to install a string that is thousands of feet in length hundreds of connections must be made at the location.

Unfortunately every connection is effectively a potential leak path.

So the ability of threaded connections to support string loads and not leak cannot be over estimated.

Service Loads - Tension

4

Tension loads can occur when: Running tubulars due to string weight Over pull for landing the string Pulling pipe Stuck strings Ballooning during high pressure fracturing Contraction when well is shut in

The effects of tension loads on connections must be taken into consideration, particularly for connections weaker than the pipe body.

Service Loads – Compression

5

Compression loads can loads occur when: Running tubulars due to Buoyancy or stuck pipe

Setting down hole tools Stuck pipe or tight spots Compaction due to subsidence String lengthening due to thermal expansion during

production Negative ballooning due to high external pressure

The effects of compression loads on connections must also be taken into consideration, due to effects on sealing

External (Collapse) Pressure

Collapse pressure is determined by one of four equations:• Yield Strength Collapse – Uses pipe yield strength.• Plastic Collapse – Based on physical tests.• Transition Collapse – Based on physical tests.• Elastic Collapse – Based on elastic instability of steel and

Young’s Modulus (independent of material yield strength).

The equation to be used is based on the D/t ratio of the pipe body.

Radial Stress

Axial Stress

r

In a given string of pipe, the string and the connections are subjected to three types of stresses depending on the loads and location in the string

Internal and external pressure loads

Tension, compression and bending

These three dimensional (triaxial) stresses can be plotted as a Von Mises Ellipse (VME) and compared to the pipe body.

This triaxial loading is the basis for connection testing and qualification

Types of Connections

• API connections

– Threaded and coupled only – Limits on joint strength which may be less than pipe body yield strength.

– Thread seal – Helical path sealed by lubricant is not guaranteed to be gas tight

– No ratings for compression loads

– Eight round (8rd) has lower joint strength on casing sizes but for upset (EUE) has joint strength equal to pipe body

– Buttress has higher joint strength than 8rd but lower sealability

– API connections have higher stress levels compared to shouldered premium joint (PJ) connections. This can lead to thread galling and/or coupling failures under even mild sour environments

API 8rd Connections

28

API 8rd connections are made up in the field using torque measuring and hopefully torque control

Torque values for 8rd connections can be obtained from API 5C1 or from manufacturers or tong companies

API 8rd optimum torques are roughly equal to 1% of the connection joint strength

Optimum make up position for 8rd connections is to cover the “last scratch” or make up to the L4 position from API 5B (next slide). This can be accomplished by making up 3 turns past hand tight (4 ½” – 7”) or 3 ½ turns past hand tight (7 5/8” and larger except for 9 5/8” and 10 ¾” P110 grade which should be 4 turns past hand tight)

API Connections

31

In General, API connections are used more for surface casing, intermediate casing, and for tubing where pressures are lower.

API connections are readily available and can be repaired or get accessories machined locally/globally.

API connections are machined with wider tolerance ranges than premium joint connections so actual performances are more variable

In many cases, API connections have lower performance properties for tension and internal pressure than the pipe body

Advantages of Premium Joints

40 40

1) Gas leak resistance ・In case of API connection (thread seal), dope trapped in the thread gap acts as sealant against liquid such as water or oil

・But, gas has much smaller molecules than liquid, and easily penetrate through trapped dope and cause leakage.

・To shut the gas pressure, metal to metal seal provided in Premium Joint is required

2) Low hoop stress due to low thread interference・Ordinary Premium Joint has thread interference half of API connection because seal function at thread is not needed

・As result, low thread interference provides low hoop stress and low risk of SSC.

FATIGUE PERFORMANCE S-N CURVE (STRESS v’s Number of Cycles

The general procedure involves.

1.Make-up the samples to the specified torque.

2.Label the strain gage locations and measure the wall and outer diameter at each strain gage location.

3.Fill the sample with water and install the strain gages to monitor the fatigue strains.

4.Load the sample in the fatigue test machine.

5.Apply internal pressure.

6.Zero the strain gages.

7.Adjust the rpm of the test machine to achieve the desired strain range.

8.Cycle until the sample leaks.

9.Mark the location of the leak and remove the sample from the machine.

10.Break out the connector and MPI the pins to locate cracks.

Peening causes a thin layer of the surface to be placed in uniform compression. This compressively stressed surface counteracts tensile stresses and effectively enhances fatigue life.
