Special thread (Premium Connection)
Metal-to-metal seal (such as VAM, FOX, Hydril).
High pressure and bending resistance, suitable for high temperature and high pressure (HPHT) wells.
Representative brands:
VAM® (Vallourec)
TMK (Russian Steel Pipe Company)
Hydril Wedge (National Oilwell)
Conductor Casing
Conductor casing is the first boundary between the surface and the subsurface. It helps prevent well collapse, keeps away the groundwater, and most importantly provides structural support. Conductor casing is installed in the ground by either drilling it or hammering it down. It is available in sizes ranging from 18″ to 36″.Production liners can be suspended from the production casing or one of the previous casings. They help in reducing the cost significantly as the liner is not required to run through the full depth of the well. Liners can be pre-perforated to help save time and cost.
Tubing
Tubing is inserted inside the wellbore through the oil well casing pipe, which helps the transportation of the hydrocarbons to the surface. It is pipe either used for transporting natural gas or crude oil to the facilities for further processing after the drilling is complete. Similar to the drill pipe and casing, tubing is subjected to high pressure during the extraction process, and needs to be thick, strong, and sturdy. Production tubing is available in various sizes ranging from ¾” to 4 ½”.
