Abstract: A cradle apparatus and method for transporting and/or deploying a coil of pipe supported around a reel are disclosed. The cradle apparatus can include a first arm member and a second arm member each having a male segment and a female segment capable of telescopic movement. A first set of pipe reel engagement spools and a second set of pipe reel engagement spools can rotate to raise/lift a first flange and a second flange of the reel thereonto when the pipe reel is positioned between the first arm member and the second arm member and the proximal end and the distal end of the first arm member and the second arm member are brought closer together due to telescopic movement of the male and female segments.

Abstract: A flexible pipe containment sled includes a platform and a first sled portion coupled to a bottom surface of the platform. The first sled portion is disposed at a first side of the platform. The sled also includes a second sled portion coupled to the bottom surface of the platform. The second sled portion is disposed at a second side of the platform opposite to the first side of the platform. The sled also includes a passage formed between the first and second sled portions. The passage is configured to allow a flexible pipe to pass through the passage while the flexible pipe containment sled is placed on a surface.

Abstract: A threaded oilfield tubular connection 10 includes a pin member 12 having a first external tapered thread 24 and a second external tapered thread 26. A box member includes a first internal tapered thread 14 and a second internal tapered thread 16. Helical torque shoulders 40, 42 are provided on the pin member and the box member, and an axially spaced between the respective first and second threads. The helix of each torque shoulder includes a plurality of revolutions with compression flanks on both the pin member and the box member.

Abstract: A threaded connector 10 includes a box connector 12 having internal threads 18 and a pin connector 14 having external threads 26 for mating with the internal threads. An axially opposing end 34 of the box connector includes a projecting ring 36 extending axially opposite the box weld end with respect to the internal threads. The pin connector 14 has an annular slot 40 for receiving the projecting ring 36, with the slot having an inner wall 44, an outer wall 42, and a base surface 46. At least one of the radially outer surface 60 of the pin connector and the radially inner surface 64 of the box connector is a radiused surface.

Abstract: A threaded and coupled connector with tapered threads having equivalent heights (same height on pin and box threads), negative load flanks, biased tapered thread forms with a torque shoulder formed by pin noses that abut at a central point within a coupling constructed from standard coupling stock. The connection design meets the internal/external pressure performance requirements of industry standards with capabilities equal to or exceeding those of “premium” connections, with a coupling constructed from thin walled coupling stock.
