  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING CONNECTION INTEGRITY BETWEEN TUBULARS
    Publication number: 20190078402
    Abstract: A method for determining an integrity of a connection includes applying a high-contrast material to a connection between a first tubular and a second tubular. A torque is applied to the first tubular. Applying the torque to the first tubular includes rotating the first tubular relative to the second tubular to establish the connection. A change in pattern of the high-contrast material in analyzed, while the torque is applied to the first tubular, using a strain detection tool that does not contact the connection. A strain at the connection is determined, based at least partially upon analyzing the change in pattern of the high-contrast material. An integrity of the connection is determined, based at least partially upon the strain.
