  • Patent number: 8220842
    Abstract: A threaded tubular connection is provided. The connection includes a male tubular element provided with a male threaded portion and a female tubular element provided with a female threaded portion. The male threaded portion and the female threaded portion each include self-locking threads having a crest, a load flank, a stabbing flank and a root, a load flank lead of the self-locking threads being larger than a stabbing flank lead of the self-locking threads such that in a tightened position of the threaded tubular connection, the load flanks and the stabbing flanks of the male self-locking threads are engaged in tight contact with the load flanks and the stabbing flanks of the female self-locking threads. A transfer zone is axially disposed between the threaded portions and a free end of at least one of the tubular elements, while being axially spaced from the threaded portions.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7661727
    Abstract: A threaded tubular connection includes a male tubular element including a male threaded portion and a female tubular element including a female threaded portion that cooperates by screwing with the male threaded portion. The threaded connection includes at least one transfer zone that can transfer bending loads between the elements and that is axially spaced from the threaded portions, in which the male and female elements have an undulating surface and a smooth surface facing each other, the undulating surface defining a series of rounded annular ribs that come into contact with the smooth surface with a radial interference fit. The connection may find application to production strings for hydrocarbon wells.
