  • Patent number: 7294608
    Abstract: The present invention discloses the use of calcium sulfonate based greases compounds for use in application where the compounds are continuously, periodically or intermittently exposed to fluids that tend to contamination, erode, ablate or otherwise remove or interfere with the compounds ability to protect contact surfaces such as those present in threaded connections, and, especially in threaded connections associated with oilfield applications. The present invention also discloses methods for making and using such greases and compounds in application where the compounds are continuously, periodically or intermittently exposed to fluids that tend to contamination, erode, ablate or otherwise remove or interfere with the compounds ability to protect contact surfaces.

  • Patent number: 6620460
    Abstract: A method for imparting anti-seize protection and lubricant to threaded connections of protection during make-up and break-out is disclosed which includes adhering a metallic anti-seize film to threads of threaded connections and coating the film protected threads with a lubricating composition to form an anti-seize/lubricating system with reduced adverse environmental impact. The method can also include depositing a bonding film or layer onto the threads prior to adhering the anti-seize film.

  • Patent number: 5536422
    Abstract: The present invention discloses the use of nonmetallic, finely divided polymeric or natural fibers in anti-seize thread compound formulations for use on rotary shouldered, oilfield tubular good or tapered threaded connections. The addition of such fibers into formulas that do not contain metallic powders or flakes (typically utilized to provide the anti-galling properties) provides a measurable improvement in the galling and seize resistance properties. Therefore, the incorporation of such fibers provides a film strength improvement in environmentally responsible thread compound compositions, which previously would not provide the level of galling resistance to perform in severe applications such as oilfield directional or geothermal drilling.

  • Patent number: 5348668
    Abstract: A coating and bonding composition is disclosed. The composition includes suspending, bonding and thinning agents, and a metallic flake.
