  • Publication number: 20130193682
    Abstract: The invention concerns a threaded tubular component for drilling or working hydrocarbon wells, said tubular component having at one of its ends (1; 2) a threaded zone (3; 4) produced on its outer or inner peripheral surface depending on whether the threaded end is male or female in type, characterized in that at least a portion of the end (1; 2) is coated with a lubricating dry film (12) the matrix (13) of which comprises at least one migrating sliding agent (9) belonging to the oils or waxes family and principally distributed at the surface of the lubricating dry film (12) such that the coefficient of friction of the film (12) is less than 0.07 at loads of less than 40 N while the coefficient of friction of the film (12) is more than 0.1 at loads of more than 200 N.

  • Publication number: 20130075083
    Abstract: A threaded end (1; 2) of a tubular component for drilling or working hydrocarbon wells, said end comprising a threaded zone (3; 4) produced on its external or internal peripheral surface depending on whether the threaded end is male or female in type, at least a portion of the end (1; 2) being coated with a dry film comprising an organic matrix in which ion exchange pigments are dispersed in proportions in the range 3% to 30% by weight; and a connection resulting from connecting two corresponding ends by makeup.

  • Publication number: 20120169048
    Abstract: A galling-resistant threaded tubular component for drilling or operating hydrocarbon wells includes at one of its ends a threaded zone produced on its external or internal peripheral surface depending on whether the threaded end is male or female in type, with at least one portion of the threaded zone being coated with a dry film with a crystalline structure with a high specific surface area principally constituted by one or more mineral salts which are not reactive towards metals, and a process for coating such a component using a dry mineral film with a crystalline structure having a high specific surface area principally constituted by one or more mineral salts which are not reactive towards metals.

  • Publication number: 20110285124
    Abstract: A film-forming lubrication composition for make-up of threaded connections, intended to cover at least one threading (FE, FI) and a make-up abutment (BVM, BVF) of a threaded element (EM, EF) of a component (T2, T1) of a threaded tubular connection (JF) with a solid state film which adheres to the threading (FE, FI) and to said make-up abutment (BVM, BVF), said make-up abutment (BVM, BVF) being intended to bear against another abutment (BVF, BVM) of another component (T1, T2) of said threaded tubular connection (JF) during the terminal make-up phase, and said lubrication composition comprising a matrix. The matrix further comprises at least one rheoresistant material selected so as to endow said composition, as a complement to lubrication, with a shouldering torque which is at least equal to a threshold value.

  • Publication number: 20100201119
    Abstract: A tubular threaded element including a dry protective coating. The coating includes a solid matrix adhering to the substrate in which there are dispersed particles of at least one solid lubricant belonging to one and the same class. The solid matrix is lubricating and has a rheological behaviour of plastic or viscoplastic type. The coating protects the threadings of the threaded elements, used for example in hydrocarbon wells, from corrosion and galling.

  • Publication number: 20100167968
    Abstract: A thin adhesive lubricating composition that can cover at least one thread and a screwing abutment of a threaded element of a component of a tubular threaded joint. The screwing abutment can bear against another abutment of another component of the tubular threaded joint in a terminal make up phase. The lubricating composition includes a matrix in which there is dispersed at least one braking additive selected to impart thereto, in addition to lubrication, a coefficient of friction to make it possible to obtain a torque on shoulder resistance value at least equal to a threshold value.

  • Publication number: 20090220780
    Abstract: A tubular threaded element including a dry protective coating. The coating includes a solid matrix adhering to the substrate in which are dispersed particles of solid lubricants from at least two classes that are selected to exert a synergistic effect between themselves and with the constituents of the matrix, i.e. coating provides protection against corrosion and against galling of the threadings of threaded elements used in hydrocarbon wells.
