HYBRID WORKSTRING FEATURING TUBING DIMENSIONS WITH DRILL PIPE DURABILITY AND STRENGTH

FSS-329
Rugged Workstring Design

Patent US 11,505,999 B2

New workstring design with smaller OD connection giving more versatility when used for refracking existing wells.

Robust thread profile gives higher torsional strength allowing greater performance on wellbore cleanouts.

6.5 turns for makeup.

  • Engineered for 5 ½ casing applications
  • Metal to Metal seal
  • Tested to 22,500 psi at 40deg/100ft bend radius
  • Extended lengths upsets allow multiple recuts
