Make up history
• Original makeup with chain
om
• Progression to power tongs
• Problems with leaks and deep wells
• l.c
Electronic monitoring and controls
oi
• Joint analysis make up (JAM)

Strength Of Material
• Strength is the ability to resist forces
om
applied to the material
✓Stress is the load per unit area and is expressed
l.c
in pounds/inch square or psi.
✓Strain is the change in length per unit length of
oi
a material due to applied loads.
✓Strain is normally expressed as inches/inch.
• Stress = Young Modulus x Strain

Tubular Threads
• Threads join the individual pipes
om
✓transmit tensile loads
✓activate the connection seal
l.c
• Oilfield thread profiles
✓Round thread
oi
✓Trapezoidal thread
VIII 7
JAM application
• Set target minimum torque and turn values
om
• Set maximum torque and turn values
• Mainly applicable with premium connections
•
l.c
Exceeding the torque value may result in thread
damage and tubing restriction mainly in small
oi
size tubing like 2.3/8”
• If good shoulder is achieved, seal is guaranteed
and gas test if applicable is not required

Thread Compound
• Lubrication - reduce torque required for

makeup and breakout
• Corrosion Protection - short term surface

l.c
• Galling Protection - isolate like metal
oi
surfaces
VIII 15
Types Of Compounds
• API modified thread compound (API Bull. 5A2)
om
✓ basic formula containing lead
• Teflon Based Compounds
✓ uses Teflon to supplement sealing
l.c
• Lead free compounds
✓ contains metals (copper) but no lead
oi
• Metal free compounds
✓ proprietary thread compounds that do not contain toxic
materials
VIII 16
API Modified Compounds

• Most recommended torque values are based on the
om
use of an API modified compound
• Vary in lubricity (slickness) from batch to batch
• Vary with time (short periods) heavy particles
l.c
"settle out" on the rig floor
oi
• API silicone compound is "slicker" than API
modified
VIII 17
Potential Problems
• Deposition
om
– metallic particles will form deposits on the threads
• Excess Lubricant
l.c
– creates hydrodynamic pressures within the connection
• Settling
oi
– the heavy metals settle to the bottom of the container
• Contamination
– must be protected from mud,water and diesel fuel
VIII 18
Makeup Factors
• Volume of Dope Applied
om
• Uniformity of Coating
• Temperature of Dope Applied
• l.c
Consistency of Dope Applied
oi
• Cleanliness of Dope Applied
VIII 19
Application
• Keep the dope bucket and brush free of
om
contaminants.
• Mix the dope frequently
l.c
• Coat the entire surface of the pin level with
the crests of the threads
oi
• Coat the seal area of the box with dry molly
or thin coat of pipe dope
VIII 20
Gas Completion Running Procedures
• All Down Hole Equipment's to be assembled, Made
om
up and Gas tested in safe area prior running the
completion.
• Preparation to run the completion
l.c
• Tubing measurements on the rack
• Clean threads Pin & Box
oi
• Drift All Tubing with Teflon drifts
• Visual inspect threads
VIII 21
Gas Completions Running Procedures
• Rig up all equipment • Pick up and Lay Down
om
• power tong to prevent any damage
• Dope applicator or scratch to Tubing or
• Jam unit Assemblies.
• Supra Hold Unitl.c • Save Rig time
oi
• Mass spectrometer • Also for safety picking
• Pick/up & L/d tubing from the Rack.
Machine
• Handling tools
VIII 22
Gas Completions Running Procedures

• Clean threads using white spirit solvent
• Inspect threads visually
• Apply very thin layer of threads compound using
om
dope applicator
• Use stabbing guide to prevent seal damage
l.c
• Apply 2 to 3 Turns using Strap Wrench to avoid
Thread crossing
oi
• Power tong with limit speed to avoid galling
• Monitor the Make up stages on JAM graphs

Gas Completions Testing

• Run hold packer inside the pipe against connection to be
tested.
om
• Set the packers and apply Gas helium to required
Pressure.
• Monitor leak rate on the Mass spectrometer Record
graphs.
l.c
• Mass spectrometer can detect up to 1 cubic ft/year
oi
• If there is slightly damage on the seal or any Tolerance
cannot seen by JAM but it will leak within the desired
testing time.

WHY USING HELIUM

➢It is non toxic

➢Inert and does not react with other material
➢Low atomic weight = 4
