  • Patent number: 11953122
    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.

  • Publication number: 20230383609
    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.

  • Publication number: 20200208760
    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.
