The VAM Express™ (VX) thread form features a large, rounded stab crest and a laid down stab flank which allows easy stabbing of the connection. A back beveled crest reduces the chance of wedging the thread and increases the freedom of movement, allowing easy connection make-up. The elliptical root increases resistance to rotational-induced bending fatigue. The patented VAM Express connection design provides: Quick rig make-up. 6–7 turns from stab-in to full make-up, similar to API connections with trip-time savings up to 16% better than other high-performance connections.
Higher torque. Torque capacity averages 150 to 200% of that of API connections.
User friendly. Reduces stabbing damage and the need for stabbing or de-stabbing guides because of thread form design.
Durability. Reduces wedging risk, resulting in less thread damage and a low re-cut rate. Strength. Allows change of OD/ID for improved hydraulic performance.
VAM Express combines quick make-up with exceptional strength and durability.
VAM EIS
®
VAM EIS® is a high-torque
connection that is fully
intermateable with API connections but incorporates a double-shoulder tool joint design. As additional
torque is applied, the pin nose
makes contact with the internal shoulder. The internal shoulder
absorbs the higher frictional load, providing the connection with improved torque capability.

VAM Drilling guarantees the superior mechanical properties of its steel alloys through proprietary chemistry, strict quality procedures and true vertical integration – from steel making to drill pipe heat treatment – and dedicated manufacturing process controls. High-strength grades are ideal for the lighter drill pipes required to minimize torque and drag in ultra-extended reach wells. By using high-strength material to reduce tube body wall thickness, lighter drill pipe joints can be manufactured without compromising mechanical performance. Reducing wall thickness also improves hydraulic programs, making it easier to reach drilling targets efficiently.
When stronger tubulars are needed for ultra-deep or landing string applications, high-grade materials offer additional tensile capacity as compared to API grades.

Low-Temperature Grades Maximizing Safety and Performance in LowTemperature Environments Arctic drilling is one of the most vivid examples of how the oil and gas industry is called upon to adapt to ever-increasing demand for energy resources. This evolution has driven the industry to develop more suitable drill string solutions adapted to extreme conditions, including “arctic” environments.
The need for such drill pipe was triggered by the wells topology (mainly Eastern Europe, CIS, Alaska and Canadian markets) where the fracture toughness behavior of drill pipe at temperatures as low as –60°C (–76°F) has to be controlled and guaranteed. The underlying issue behind this constraint is not related to the service temperature of these tubulars, but instead to potential damage during ground transportation and handling in the arctic permafrost. Steel grade ductility decreases dramatically below a certain temperature called transition temperature. The transition temperature is specific to the metallurgy and grade of steel. When the transition temperature of the steel grade is too high, the steel can become brittle even at –20°C. Therefore, it is desirable to use steel with very low transition temperature, which is typically difficult to achieve for high-strength steel. Nevertheless, the transition temperature can be improved by controlling the way the steel is manufactured. In particular, the use of carbon steel with a low
content of phosphorus and sulfur and also a reduced content of inclusion and oxides increases the tolerance to damage and prevents fatigue crack initiation.
This process control (micro alloying addition in the steel and heat treatment control) can successfully lower the transition temperature. Proprietary arctic grades already exist for temperatures as low as –40°C. However, for high-strength drill pipe it is necessary to meet the drilling loads in arctic conditions with temperatures as low as –60°C. VAM Drilling is at the forefront of developing solutions for these types of environments.
Controlling critical manufacturing parameters is the key to reach top-of-the-range products. The parameters include: I I I I I
Steel microstructure;
Chemical composition; Cleanliness;
Heat treatment; and Process control.

ERD (Extended Reach Drilling) ERD configurations allow drilling into reservoirs where vertical access is difficult or impossible (onshore/offshore). With ERD product configurations, it is possible to reach oil/gasbearing formations or pockets that are uneconomic to develop with standard API products. ERD allows multiple subsurface locations to be reached using only one drilling pad, which reduces the environmental impact. ERD configurations allow the drilling of:
Very shallow – high build rate (>6°/100ft); Very long – high angle (>55°);
Complex well design – turns, drops, etc.; and Deepwater – >3,000ft.

Heavy Weight Drill Pipe (HWDP)
Gradual Transition and Weight in Complex Wells
VAM Drilling heavy weight drill pipe (HWDP) provides a gradual transition from flexible drill pipe to heavy rigid drill collars. This gradual change significantly reduces the stress concentration which would otherwise occur. Because HWDP is stiffer than drill pipe, it simplifies directional control and reduces fatigue problems associated with non-conventional and high-angle drilling. HWDP is most commonly used in directional drilling, where it also helps to control torque and prevent differential sticking. The three-point contact profile reduces drag, and the center upset prevents excessive buckling.
53
HWDP provides a gradual transition from drill pipe to drill collars.
Heavy Weight Drill Pipe (HWDP) Gradual Transition VAM Drilling heavy weight drill pipe (HWDP) assembly consists of a tool joint (pin and box) and a thick-walled tube with a raised central section. VAM Drilling HWDP incorporates the following features.

Heavy Weight Spiral Drill Pipe (HWSP)
55
Heavy weight spiral drill pipe (HWSP) from VAM Drilling is designed for tough drilling environments in vertical and directional wells. For vertical wells VAM Drilling’s HWSP is a transition member, while in directional wells it serves as a weight member and provides additional stiffness to prevent buckling. The HWSP design employs many of the same features as VAM Drilling’s heavy weight drill pipe. All sizes are manufactured by friction welding a tool joint on each end of a specially machined heavy wall pipe. The pipe body has an enlarged center section with three spiral grooves and incorporates all features of the conventional HWDP with the following additional advantages:
Increased weight and stiffness;
Reduced buckling and differential sticking;
Improved torque and drag control; and Better hole cleaning.
Spiraling helps to reduce differential sticking and improves hole cleaning.
Materials
VAM Drilling provides HWDP in standard, Sour Service or non-magnetic grades.
Conventional heavy weight drill pipe (HWDP) from VAM Drilling is supplied with AISI 1340 steel or equivalent in the pipe body and AISI 4145H modified tool joints. VAM Drilling HWDP is normally provided with welded tool joints, but an integral version can be supplied on request. For Sour Service applications, VAM Drilling’s ERS 425™ proprietary grade has been developed to provide bottomhole assembly (BHA) products with improved impact strength, fracture toughness
and resistance to sulfide stress cracking. The mechanical properties of ERS 425 meet or exceed the requirements of API Specification 7.1. In NACE test TM 0177, the resistance of ERS 425 to sulfide stress cracking significantly surpasses the resistance of AISI 4145H-modified steel. VAM Drilling’s ERS 425 HWDP continues to provide superior performance in Sour Service applications around the world. In addition, VAM Drilling supplies special non-magnetic HWDP (Amagnit™ 501) for extreme service or directional drilling applications.

Overview
HWDP Performance Datasheet
The Heavy Weight Drill Pipe Performance Datasheet is an easy-to-use document summarizing the performances and other technical characteristics of HWDPs manufactured by VAM Drilling. This document provides key performance characteristics such as tensile strength, torsional strength and make-up torque range, as well as other product-specific performance data. An overview of some additional information available in the HWDP Performance Datasheet is shown below. Useful datasheet definitions:
Balance OD: The tool joint OD where the yield of the box is equal to the yield of the pin for a given tool joint ID. Bending Strength Ratio (BSR): This bending criteria is defined in the API spec RP7G as an inertia ratio between pin and box connection. A rotary shouldered connection that has a BSR of 2.5 (or 2.5:1) is generally accepted as an average balanced connection.
Load Chart Tension Tensile Yield of Tool Joint
Load Chart: Chart used to determine the operation zone for tool joint in tension and torque.
Wear Chart: Chart used to determine the recommended make-up torque for worn products.
Box Yield
Torsional Ratio: The ratio of the connection torsional strength divided by the pipe body torsional strength. API recommends a ratio of 0.80 or larger.

Drill Collars
Drill collars are thick-walled tubular pieces machined from solid steel bars, forming a component of the bottom hole assembly that provides weight-onbit for improved drilling performance. VAM Drilling has been making drill collars for more than 50 years and was the first company to make small diameter pierced drill collars from solid bar. Bars are trepanned on equipment specially designed by VAM Drilling. Today, VAM Drilling provides a full range of slick and spiral drill collars in AISI 4145H-modified steel, ERS 425™ Sour Service steel and non-magnetic alloys.
Drill collars from VAM Drilling are available with the following features:
ODs from 2-7/8” to 11-3/4”; Mechanical properties guaranteed to 1” below the steel’s surface at ambient temperature;
Enhanced fatigue resistance (threads cold rolled, pin-relief groove and box bore back for API standard connections); Phosphate-coated threads to prevent galling; and Hardbanding is available upon request.

In order to reduce differential pressure sticking, the surface of drill collars can be spiral-grooved. VAM Drilling spiral drill collars are the perfect solution for deep, directional or deviated drilling. Cross sections of the drill collars reduce the contact area with the wall of the hole. The grooving consists of three righthand spirals, machined on VAM Drilling’s unique triple-headed milling machines. Stress relief features improve the bending strength of pin and box API connections and, therefore, durability. Bore back on box and stress relief grooves on pin are defined by API. VAM Drilling spiral drill collars reduce wall contact area and eliminate differential sticking.

Slip and Elevator Recesses
VAM Drilling offers optional slip and elevator recesses to improve handling efficiency and safety. Slip and elevator recesses are machined in accordance with the API standard RP7G. The upper radius of the elevator recess is cold rolled to increase product life. Slip and elevator recesses can be used together or separately. Special drill pipe elevator designs can be supplied for automated handling operations to decrease non-productive time. VAM Drilling slip and elevator recesses improve downhole handling efficiency and safety.

Materials VAM Drilling drill collars for standard use are made of AISI 4145H chromium molybdenum alloy steel. The concentration of residual elements, such as sulphur and phosphorus, is reduced during the steel-making process, producing homogeneous steel with excellent physical properties. VAM Drilling can supply drill collars for use on sour gas wells where resistance to hydrogen
embrittlement, caused by the presence of H2S, is expected. VAM Drilling’s ERS 425™ Sour Service grade material has been developed to provide bottom-hole assembly (BHA) products with improved impact strength (KCV), fracture toughness (K1c) and resistance to sulfide stress cracking (SSC) in wells with a Sour Service environment. The mechanical properties of ERS 425 meet or exceed the requirements
Drill Collar Material Table
of API Specification 7.1. In NACE tests TM 0177, the resistance of ERS 425 to SSC significantly surpasses the resistance of standard 4145H-modified steel. ERS 425 drill collars have provided superior performance in Sour Service applications around the world. In addition, VAM Drilling supplies special non-magnetic (Amagnit™ 501) drill collars for extreme service or directional drilling applications.

Drill Collar Performance Datasheet
Overview
The Drill Collar Performance Datasheet is an easy-to-use document summarizing the performances and other technical characteristics of drill collars manufactured by VAM Drilling. This document provides key performance characteristics such as tensile strength, torsional strength, and make-up torque range, as well as other productspecific performance data.
An overview of some additional information available in the Drill Collar Performance Datasheet is shown below. Useful datasheet definition:
Bending strength ratio: This bending criteria is defined in the API spec RP7G as an inertia ratio between pin and box connection. A rotary shouldered connection that has a BSR of 2.5 (or 2.5:1) is generally accepted as an average balanced connection.

Non-Magnetic Materials For Directional Drilling
For directional drilling applications, VAM Drilling supplies BHA components made from Amagnit™ 501, a chrome manganese carbon austenitic alloy obtained by combining a proprietary chemical analysis and a rotary hammer forging process.
for galling. Consistent non-magnetic behavior is essential in this special alloy steel, as well as material that is free of hot spots. These non-magnetic characteristics of Amagnit 501 are certified by VAM Drilling upon delivery for the life of the product.
Amagnit 501 is specifically designed for extreme service. This chrome manganese, low carbon austenitic alloy ensures non-magnetic steel that is resistant to stress corrosion cracking and provides superior mechanical properties with low magnetic permeability, excellent machineability, and no tendency
Mechanical and non-magnetic properties of Amagnit 501 meet or exceed API 7.1 minimum requirements. For specific downhole applications where higher mechanical properties are required, as can often be the case with MWD housing, high-strength corrosion

resistant steel Amagnit™ 601 is also available upon request. Laboratory tests and actual field use confirm that Amagnit 501 provides excellent resistance to stress corrosion cracking in an aggressive chloride environment. VAM Drilling’s Amagnit™ 501 and Amagnit™ 601 non-magnetic alloys provide resistance to stress corrosion cracking and exhibit considerable anti-galling characteristics.
Non-Magnetic Materials For Directional Drilling The metallurgical and material integrity of Amagnit™ 501 is achieved by careful raw material selection, closely controlled remelting procedures and efficient forging. Exact time/temperature/force cycles are achieved on a highspeed, high-precision rotary forge. The melting technology and warm forging process used in making Amagnit 501 alloy eliminate the precipitation of carbides on grain boundaries, thus producing a
non-sensitized microstructure. This is achieved through the rigorous selection of the time/temperature/ force cycle used during the warmworking process. Amagnit 501 was exposed to proprietary test methods of a major directional drilling company (U-bend, C-ring, etc) and outperformed competitive grades. A detailed report of the test results is available on request.

Drilling Stabilizers Stabilizers are used to prevent buckling of drill collars and undesirable deviation of the drill string. Typically, one or two stabilizers are placed in the bottom hole assembly (BHA) to increase drill string stability. Additional stabilizers can be added to the drill string to further improve BHA solidness and minimize wellbore deviation. Stabilizers are also used to avoid differential sticking of the drill string and to reduce vibration, drill pipe whirl and wellbore turtuousity. Whether you are drilling vertical, horizontal or deviated wells, by using VAM Drilling stabilizers you maintain drilling trajectory to reach your drilling targets efficiently.

Hardbanding Hardbanding is available in raised, semi-raised or flush configurations. “Casing friendly” solutions can also be selected. In addition to our proprietary tungsten carbide hardbanding (Series 1000, 3000 and 5000 and Series CF 500, 1000 and 2000), VAM Drilling is also a qualified applicator for: I Tuboscope TCS 8000 and TCS Ti I ARNCO 100XT, 150XT & 300XT I Armacor M Star I Duraband NC I Castolin OTW-12 I Procasing
Hardbanding supplied by VAM Drilling increases tool joint life and is applied prior to the tool joint being welded to the pipe body. It is applied under closely controlled conditions, resulting in a uniform, low porosity, wearresistant surface.
VAM Drilling’s special hardbanding (Series 5000 and Series CF 2000) is a non-abrasive hardbanding in which the tungsten carbide pellets are buried below the joint surface and covered with a layer of soft metal. This special hardbanding is recommended when casing wear is a problem.
Standard Application Drill Pipe VAM Drilling offers hardbanding on tool joint box sections. However, special requests for tool joint pin sections and box elevator tapers are also available.
Several bands of hardbanding (generally 3” to 4” in length) are applied to the box tool joint and an optional band (approximately 3/4” in length) can be applied to the box elevator taper.
Heavy Weight Drill Pipe VAM Drilling offers hardbanding on tool joint pin and box sections and center wear pad. However, special requests for tool joint box elevator tapers are also available. Several bands of hardbanding (generally 3” to 4” in length) are applied to the pin and box tool joints and an optional band (approximately 3/4” in length) may be applied to the box elevator taper. Several bands of
hardbanding (generally 2 x 3”) are applied to the center wear pad.
Drill Collar Type B hardbanding is recommended on drill collars with slip and elevator recesses and is applied in a 4” long wear pad above the elevator recess, a 1” long wear pad above the slip recess, and a 10” long wear pad under the slip recess. For drill collars with only slip recess, type C hardbanding is applied to a 10” long wear pad under the slip recess and a 4” long wear pad above the slip recess. For drill collars without any recess, type A hardbanding is applied to slick drill collars in a 10” long wear pad located 30” from the end of the pin. For more information on drill collar hardbanding, see page 79.

VAM Drilling’s make-up/break-out service is performed consistently using the same procedure for each joint of pipe, thus avoiding material handling mishaps and the potential variability of procedure used on different rig sites. If galling does occur during the process, it is repaired or replaced immediately, saving additional rig time or transportation. Pipe that has been properly broken-in lasts longer. Time is money on the drilling rig. It takes about 10 minutes per joint to break-in pipe at the rig site. If you are breaking in a 15,000-foot drill string (about 500 joints), that’s 5,000 minutes (or 83 hours) of rig and crew time. The chart above demonstrates the cost of pipe break-in at different rig day rates.

I
I
I
Joints are finish-machined, inspected and phos-coated prior to operation;
Threads of each box and pin member are cleaned thoroughly to remove any oil, grease or other matter; Box and pin threads are thoroughly coated with drill pipe thread compound; Joints are made-up hand tight and then powertightened to 100% of recommended make-up torque and broken-out to hand-tight condition for three successive make and break cycles; and
Joints are finally broken apart, cleaned thoroughly, and inspected to ensure that no galling of the threads and sealing shoulders has occurred.
Factory make-up/break-out of VAM Drilling tool joints provides excellent insurance against damage to drill pipe connections.
Coating Internal Plastic Coating Internal Plastic Coating (IPC) is generally an epoxy resin that is applied on the ID of drill pipe and heavy weight drill pipe in a thin layer (0.1 to 0.4 µm or 5 to 15 mils). It is deposited on the pipe after the entire manufacturing process is complete. The coating plays a key role in the protection of the pipe ID from corrosion, thus extending the life span of the tubular in the field. Additionally, IPC significantly improves the flow of fluids within the pipe. The coating is designed such that mechanical (tensile and torsional) performances of the pipe are fully preserved.
Benefits include: I Prevention of pipe ID corrosion, which can induce pipe cracks and failures; I
I I
I
Reduction of friction losses along the string, therefore giving additional operational margin on pressure budget (up to 15%); Compatibility with all drilling fluids;
Resistance to high temperatures up to 204°C (400°F) with mud flow; and Field proven solution.
Plastic coatings provided by VAM Drilling have an extensive worldwide field record. VAM Drilling has identified coating solutions near all of our manufacturing plants.
Pipe supplied by VAM Drilling is available with most industry accepted coating and is applied by premium coating applicators worldwide.
IPC solutions that are available for VAM Drilling customers on a global basis include: I NOV Tuboscope – TK-34 L, TK-34 P, TK-34 XT; and I
DJ Coatings – DJ207.
Other coating materials are available on request.
External Coating Before shipping, VAM Drilling products are externally coated on the outer surface, and protectors are fitted on the threads. This external coating acts as a barrier against corrosion during transportation and long-term storage. A transparent varnish is applied to drill pipes. On all other products and accessories, VAM Drilling applies blue paint. Both the varnish and the paint have been developed to minimize environmental impact. For technical specifications on each of the above products, please contact your local VAM Drilling Technical Support.

Thread Compounds VAM Drilling Ensures the Proper Use of Its Products in the Field
The use of thread compounds on VAM Drilling products is required to guarantee safe operations and superior product performance. Pipe thread compound (pipe dope) is a specially formulated blend of lubricate and fine particles that prevents thread galling (a particular form of metal-to-metal damage) and assists in sealing the connection. The American Petroleum Institute (API) specifies properties of pipe dope, including its coefficient of friction. The rig crew applies pipe dope to the drill pipe tool joints every time a connection is made according to the corresponding VAM Drilling procedure.
As per API rules, make-up torque values are calculated with the friction factor of the dope equal to 1. Example: In the case of HP/HT drilling conditions, the stability of the dope’s friction factor has to be I Published recommended make-up torque = 20,000 ft-lbs checked. In the case of a friction factor different I Thread compound friction factor = 1.12 from 1, published make-up torque values must be corrected by multiplying them by the thread ► Final make-up torque = 20,000 x 1.12 = 22,400 ft-lbs compound friction factor. Application of Thread Compound (Running Dope)
Before applying the thread compound to connections, check to see that the threads and the shoulders are clean and free of dirt or other foreign material. Drilling fluids and/or additives may affect the frictional properties of the thread compound or increase the chance of corrosion within the connection, so it is important to rinse all foreign material off the connection prior to applying thread compound.
In order to ease the application of thread compound in cold climates, it may be necessary to heat the compound before application. Never add solvents to thin the thread compound. After application of thread compound, the lid must be set over the bucket in order to prevent foreign material or water from entering the bucket and contaminating the compound.
The thread compound should be applied evenly but sparingly, so that the thread profile is still visible, as shown in the following pictures:
Thread compound to be applied on external shoulder Thread compound to be applied on threaded area
Thread compound to be applied on internal shoulder
Figure 6. The correct application of thread compound
Figure 7. Too little thread compound
Figure 8. Too much thread compound
It is important that the correct amount of thread compound be applied on connections. VAM Drilling is concerned about the use of its products on the field and their environmental impact. Please follow VAM Drilling recommendations regarding quantities and application procedure for thread compounds.
!
VAM Drilling declines any responsibility if the thread compound does not meet supplier specifications.
Thread Protectors
Far less expensive than the cost of re-cutting threads, VAM Drilling thread protectors offer guaranteed thread protection and are available for all standard oilfield connections. VAM Drilling products are generally shipped with standard plastic protectors, while cast-steel protectors are available as an option. Lift certification can be provided upon request. VAM Drilling precision-machined cast steel thread protectors are ideal for handling and protecting swivels, drill collars, tool joints and wear subs. The unique handle speeds the safe movement of all equipment. VAM Drilling thread protectors are available for all standard oilfield connections.
