Vallourec Group
Why VAM Drilling is Designed to Perform™
Our slogan “Designed to Perform” is the result of a long adventure which began over three years ago when
V&M TUBES Drilling Products, OMSCO Inc. and SMF-International came together to become VAM Drilling,
now one of the most recognized producers of innovative drill stem products in the world. Since then, VAM
Drilling has grown tremendously with the acquisition of DPAL and Protools in the Middle East and with the
investment in a new welding line in the Vallourec & Mannesmann do Brasil Mill. VAM Drilling today is a truly
international drilling solutions provider supplying products and services close to where our clients are active.
Through its vertical integration with the Vallourec Group, VAM Drilling is able to guarantee the superior
quality of its raw materials and to develop new steel grade technologies to ensure superior performance.
Our company has brought together experts with a variety of backgrounds in a number of locations, all
working towards the same common goal: bringing our clients the best possible products and services for
their most challenging drilling needs.
Reaching our goal is made possible by the core values which are shared by every VAM Drilling employee:
commitment towards our customers and their needs combined with the know-how to provide customized
solutions based on recognized processes and proven products.
Designed to Perform is VAM Drilling’s way of highlighting not only our innovative products,
but also the values that our employees implement in their everyday tasks. Our products are
designed for and our people are dedicated to bringing you optimum performance. At VAM
Drilling, our success is measured by our clients’ satisfaction.
I hope you will enjoy our VAM Drilling Catalog, which summarizes our innovative service and
product offer. We have done our best to provide you with the most detailed information possible,
but since our offer is vast, if you have any additional questions please contact one of our nearest
sales representatives. You will find a list of contacts on the inside back cover of this catalog.
Happy reading!

Notes: All drill pipes are Range 2 (31-1/2 ft shoulder to shoulder) unless otherwise specified. API recommends a torsional ratio of 0.80 or greater.
VAM EIS®, VAM CDS™ and VAM Express™ are proprietary threads of VAM Drilling. Tong spaces are a minimum of 2 longer than API standard.
Make-up torque values are recommended by VAM Drilling.

General Properties
Standard
■ Pipe body OD from 2-7/8” to 6-5/8”; Hardbanding on HWDP protects
Welded construction; the tool joint and the central body
and minimizes casing wear.
■
■ Slick construction;
Central upset with two bands HWDP properties meet or exceed
totalling 3” of hardbanding material API 7.1 and ISO 10424:2004
■
High-performance VAM®

Heavy Weight Spiral Drill Pipe (HWSP)
55
Heavy weight spiral drill pipe (HWSP) from VAM Drilling is designed for tough drilling environments in vertical and
directional wells. For vertical wells VAM Drilling’s HWSP is a transition member, while in directional wells it serves
as a weight member and provides additional stiffness to prevent buckling. The HWSP design employs many of
the same features as VAM Drilling’s heavy weight drill pipe. All sizes are manufactured by friction welding a tool
joint on each end of a specially machined heavy wall pipe.

VAM Drilling drill pipe risers have been designed to improve the efficiency of well intervention and production testing
processes in deep offshore operations. This innovative application for drill pipe has been successfully developed to
replace the traditional technology composed of a drilling riser and a tubing string with a metal-to-metal seal. The
equipment provides improved performance thanks to its design and running properties, including weight reduction,
time saving, and a high degree of reliability. VAM Drilling drill pipe risers have been in use for more than 10 years with
the highest level of efficiency.
The drill pipe riser features the VAM DPR SR connection, which includes a gas-tight seal
rated up to 10,000 psi internal pressure and ensures extreme fatigue resistance and high
tension efficiency. Whether in open-sea mode or in a drilling riser, VAM
DPR SR incorporates an API thread design combined with a double-
shoulder connection, ensuring easy handling, multiple make-up, thread
durability, and cost-effective maintenance. 20000

When well intervention or production testing requires high-pressure sealing equipment to ensure safe and
reliable operations (gas, high-pressure wells), VAM Drilling recommends combining its proprietary drill
pipe riser design with the VAM DPR HP tool joint connection. The VAM DPR HP connection exceeds most
of the VAM DPR SR performance criteria and offers significantly higher tension efficiency, extreme fatigue
resistance, and a gas-tight metal-to-metal seal rated up to 15,000 psi internal pressure and to –29°C.

Thread Compounds
VAM Drilling Ensures the Proper Use of Its Products in the Field
The use of thread compounds on VAM Drilling products is required to guarantee safe operations and superior
product performance. Pipe thread compound (pipe dope) is a specially formulated blend of lubricate and fine
particles that prevents thread galling (a particular form of metal-to-metal damage) and assists in sealing the
connection. The American Petroleum Institute (API) specifies properties of pipe dope, including its coefficient
of friction. The rig crew applies pipe dope to the drill pipe tool joints every time a connection is made according
to the corresponding VAM Drilling procedure.
As per API rules, make-up torque values are calculated with the friction factor of the dope equal to 1.
In the case of HP/HT drilling conditions, the Example:
stability of the dope’s friction factor has to be ■ Published recommended make-up torque = 20,000 ft-lbs
