CONNECTION SELECTOR

Which selector do you wish to use?

The decision flowcharts provide casing and tubing connection selection guidelines. Connection selections outside of the parameters suggested in the flowcharts may be appropriate for some applications. Items inside a diamond require a decision or evaluation. Click the selection that best fits you need to move through the chart.

The "cut-off" values for hole clearance, maximum pressure limits and other parameters can be adjusted to reflect company policy or individual preferences.

The selector indicates the connection that meets the minimum performance requirements. The upgrade options listed indicate suitable alternative connections with improved performance characteristics. Unusual load conditions, uncertainty regarding well parameters, presence and amount of H2S, well type (exploratory or development), well proximity to populated areas, and other risk factors can influence connection selection resulting in use of a higher performance connection with better performance capabilities than required for an application (i.e. ST-L in place of FL-4S).
