Abstract: A sealing system connecting first and second tubular members includes a first curvilinear sealing surface on the first tubular member and a second curvilinear sealing surface on the second tubular member. Both the first and second curvilinear sealing surfaces are disposed between two sets of threading on the respective first and second tubular members. When the first and second tubular members are in a connected configuration, the first and second curvilinear sealing surfaces contact and interfere to form an annular curvilinear center seal. A relief pocket may be disposed adjacent to the first and/or second curvilinear sealing surfaces to contain excess lubricant between the first and second tubular members.

Abstract: A connection includes a first expandable tubular member having a first screw threadform defined by a first plurality of crests, roots, and flanks, where each flank separates each crest from each root. The connection also includes a second expandable tubular member having a second screw threadform defined by a second plurality of crests, roots, and flanks, where each flank separates each crest from each root. The crests and roots are substantially axial to the tubular members and the flanks are substantially radial to the tubular members. The first expandable tubular member and the second expandable tubular member are configured to connect when the first threadform engages with the second threadform. Clearances are formed between the first plurality of flanks and the second plurality of flanks when the first and second expandable tubular members connect.

Abstract: A connection includes a first tubular member and a second tubular member. The first tubular member has a pin end with threading and a pin face at an outermost end of the pin end of the first tubular member and the second tubular member has a box end with threading and a box face at an outermost end of the box end of the second tubular member. The first tubular member and the second tubular member are configured to connect when the threading of the pin end engages with the threading of the box end. The thickness of the pin face is substantially identical to the thickness of the box face.

Abstract: Techniques involve implementing systems and methods for identifying and tracking tubular goods. One or more embodiments involve generating a pipe ID for a pipe. The pipe ID is associated with information concerning one or more characteristics of the pipe. Testing may be performed on the pipe to generate testing results, and these testing results are further associated with the pipe ID. An external identifier may be attached to the pipe. The external identifier is associated with the pipe ID, and the pipe ID is saved in a database. The database may be accessed to save further pipe information associated with the pipe ID, or accessed to acquire the pipe information associated with a particular pipe ID.

Abstract: Techniques include systems and methods for accessing an identification and tracking system for tubular goods. One or more embodiments involve reading an identifier of a pipe, sending a query to a database to access pipe information associated with the identifier, and displaying pipe information based on the identifier, in response to the query. In some embodiments, reading the identifier includes reading an RFID tag on the pipe and displaying pipe information which may comprise pipe dimensions, pipe composition, pipe treatment details, pipe testing results, pipe order number, bill of lading number, pipe manufacturing location, pipe treatment location, pipe delivery destination, or combinations thereof.

Abstract: 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.
