1. DEA 1511 DEA 151: QUALCONN Modernization of Connection Performance Properties PPIPPI TECHNOLOGY SERVICES Brian Schwind, PE PPI Technology Services Drilling Engineering Association

2. DEA 1512 Introduction: Need

3. DEA 1513 Introduction: Industry Need 1.Unknown Performance of Connections Pipe Performance exceeding connection ratings 2.Supply Requirements: Competition Multi-source for meeting schedule requirements 3. Cost: Competition  As important as the tubular  Failure- Financial Loss  Liability- life and property

4. DEA 1514 Introduction: Operator Experience 1.Failures are found two ways: Laboratory - Rare for a test to go without performance issue Field - Most costly / HSE implications 2.Operators have:  Totally Eliminated Field Failures through an integrated Qualification Program  Program involves applying what was tested, running per test, and applying within the limits of qualification  Independent verification of test results

5. DEA 1515 Connection Reliability Foundation: Design Related ( FEA, ISO 13679, Design Calcs) Manufacturing (Complete Specifications) Installation: Torque, RPM, Thread Compound Application, running spec. Environment: Test Load Envelope/ cycling, SLE, Failure Points, Temperature Design: Test to Dimensional, Makeup, and Load Extremes Database Provides Dimensional specifications. Run Per Specification, within Service Load Envelope Qualification has Eliminated Failures!

6. DEA 1516 Product Line Qualification Tubing & Casing: HPHT: Asia, Europe, North America CRA: 13% Cr, 22% Cr, 28 Cr, C-276, high nickel Deep Water: Large Diameter/ high rate wells Cutting Edge and Conventional Wells Test Data: $50 Million invested

7. DEA 1517 Connection Test Data Casing Design: Detailed Graphical Results
