  • Patent number: 11905766
    Abstract: A threaded tubular connection includes a box member having a female external thread, a female internal thread, and a female intermediate sealing surface between the female external thread and the female internal thread, and a pin member having a corresponding male external thread, a male internal thread, and a male intermediate sealing surface, such that male threads interlock by thread engagement with female threads, and intermediate sealing surfaces form an intermediate metal-to-metal seal when the threaded tubular connection is made up. The box member includes a minimal outer diameter at the intermediate metal-to-metal seal location, the minimal outer diameter being smaller than respectively an external and an internal outer diameter respectively being located above the female external thread and the female internal thread.

  • Patent number: 11885443
    Abstract: Threaded tubular connection for the casing of hydrocarbon wells obtained by makeup of a male tool joint with a female tool joint, the connection comprising a threaded portion, such that the male and respectively female threaded portions each comprise a helix provided with a load flank, a thread crest, a stabbing flank, a thread root, such that a pitch of the load flank (LFLp, LFLb) and a pitch of the stabbing flank (SFLp, SFLb) fulfills the following condition: [Math 14] SFLb=LFLb=SFLp=LFLp=k, A tooth width (Wtp) of the male helix and a tooth width of the female helix (Wtb) are such that [Math 15] 50%<Wtp/Wtb<80% or [Math 16] 50%<Wtb/Wtp<80% and [Math 17] Wtp Wtb<k.
