Patent number: 9869139Abstract: A tubular connection includes a pin member and a box member. The pin member has a first thread structure and a helical torque shoulder spaced axially along the pin member from the first thread structure. The box member has a second thread structure and a second helical torque shoulder spaced axially along the box member from the second thread structure. The first thread structure and the second thread structure are sized and located to control a stab position of the tubular connection, and in the stab position the first helical torque shoulder does not engage or axially overlap with the second helical torque shoulder. A method of joining tubular members utilizing a helical torque shoulder is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2013Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Assignee: ULTRA PREMIUM OILFIELD SERVICES, LTD.Inventors: Fu J Hou, Edward O Banker

Patent number: 9869414Abstract: A tubular connection is formed by a box member and a pin member, each of which has a tapered constant pitch thread. A profile defined by the thread of at least one of the pin member and the box member results in a pitch line that is a stepped pitch line. The stepped pitch line configuration may produce a wide radial band of substantive contact between the stab flanks of the pin member and box member upon full make-up of the connection.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2017Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Assignee: ULTRA PREMIUM OILFIELD SERVICES, LTD.Inventor: Edward O.

Publication number: 20160281441Abstract: A metal-to-metal sealing system connecting first and second tubular members includes a first seal configuration on the first tubular member and a second seal configuration on the second tubular member. The first seal configuration includes a first annular groove and a first annular tooth, and the second seal configuration includes a second annular groove and a second annular tooth. The second annular tooth is positioned within the first annular groove with the second annular tooth face engaging the first annular shoulder face to define a first shoulder. The first annular tooth is positioned within the second annular groove with the first annular tooth face engaging the second annular shoulder face to define a second shoulder. Locations of primary sealing contact of surfaces of the members are spaced axially away from the first and second shoulders.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2016Publication date: September 29, 2016Applicant: ULTRA PREMIUM OILFIELD SERVICES, LTD.Inventor: ALEJANDRO JUAREZ
