  • Patent number: 11008819
    Abstract: A threaded coupling suitable for drilling oil and gas wells is provided. The threaded coupling having a first end and a second end. A first portion of the threaded coupling proximal to the first end can have a first thread profile, and a second portion of the threaded coupling proximal to the second end can have a second thread profile that is different from the first thread profile. In particular, at least two threads of the second thread profile proximate to the second end are reduced in height according to an extra machining angle. The first thread profile and the second thread profile can further be tapered according to a taper angle.

  • Patent number: 7621323
    Abstract: A very low carbon steel alloy is provided for use in manufacturing tubular members such as oil country tubular goods. The tubular members may be radially expanded from at least twenty percent to forty percent. Sections or joints of casing formed from the steel alloy may be installed within a wellbore and radially expanded during completion of the wellbore.

  • Patent number: 7596848
    Abstract: The present invention involves a system and method for producing bimetallic pipe. In one embodiment of the present invention, the method includes inserting an inner shell into an outer shell and reducing the outer shell to securely engage the inner shell by drawing the outer shell and inner shell through a die without the use of a mandrel placed in the inner shell. In another embodiment of the present invention, the method includes inserting an inner shell into an outer shell and reducing the outer shell to securely engage the inner shell by sizing the outer shell using at least one roller stand.

  • Publication number: 20070228729
    Abstract: Oil country tubular goods and other types of tubular members are provided with integral joints having threaded connections. The integral joints may be flush type connections or swage type connections. The tubular members may be formed using electric resistant welding technology satisfactory for radial expansion within a wellbore. The threaded connections may be used to join sections of casing with each other to form a casing string to complete a wellbore.
