High-Grade Material forLighter and Stronger Solutions
Complex drilling environments,including ultra-deep and extendedreach wells, deep offshore orhigh-temperature and high-pressureconditions, are a real challenge fordrilling contractors and operators.For the most challenging drillingprojects, VAM Drilling hasdeveloped high-strength gradesincluding VM-140 DP, VM-150 DPand VM-165 DP.
VAM Drilling guarantees thesuperior mechanical properties ofits steel alloys through proprietarychemistry, strict quality proceduresand true vertical integration – fromsteel making to drill pipe heattreatment – and dedicatedmanufacturing process controls.
High-strength grades are idealfor the lighter drill pipes requiredto minimize torque and drag inultra-extended reach wells. Byusing high-strength material toreduce tube body wall thickness,lighter drill pipe joints can bemanufactured without compromis-ing mechanical performance.Reducing wall thickness alsoimproves hydraulic programs,making it easier to reach drillingtargets efficiently.
When stronger tubulars are neededfor ultra-deep or landing stringapplications, high-grade materialsoffer additional tensile capacity ascompared to API grades.

content of phosphorus and sulfur andalso a reduced content of inclusionand oxides increases the toleranceto damage and prevents fatiguecrack initiation.
This process control (micro alloyingaddition in the steel and heattreatment control) can successfullylower the transition temperature.Proprietary arctic grades already existfor temperatures as low as –40°C.However, for high-strength drill pipe itis necessary to meet the drilling loadsin arctic conditions with temperaturesas low as –60°C. VAM Drilling is atthe forefront of developing solutionsfor these types of environments.
Controlling critical manufacturingparameters is the key to reachtop-of-the-range products. Theparameters include:
� Steel microstructure;
� Chemical composition;
� Cleanliness;
� Heat treatment; and
� Process control.

Maximizing Safety and
Performance in Low-
Temperature Environments
Arctic drilling is one of the most vividexamples of how the oil and gasindustry is called upon to adapt toever-increasing demand for energyresources. This evolution has driventhe industry to develop more suitabledrill string solutions adapted toextreme conditions, including “arctic”environments.
The need for such drill pipe wastriggered by the wells topology(mainly Eastern Europe, CIS, Alaskaand Canadian markets) where thefracture toughness behavior of drillpipe at temperatures as low as –60°C(–76°F) has to be controlled andguaranteed. The underlying issuebehind this constraint is not relatedto the service temperature of thesetubulars, but instead to potentialdamage during ground transportationand handling in the arctic permafrost.Steel grade ductility decreasesdramatically below a certain temp-erature called transition temperature.The transition temperature is specificto the metallurgy and grade of steel.When the transition temperature ofthe steel grade is too high, the steelcan become brittle even at –20°C.Therefore, it is desirable to use steelwith very low transition temperature,which is typically difficult to achievefor high-strength steel. Nevertheless,the transition temperature can beimproved by controlling the way thesteel is manufactured. In particular,the use of carbon steel with a low

Light Wall Drill Pipe
Light wall drill pipes have reducedwall thickness, allowing for alarger ID while maintaining thesame OD as standard drill pipes.
Light wall parameters are used indrilling conditions where reduceddrill string weight is needed.Reducing wall thickness alsoimproves hydraulic programs,making it easier to reach drillingtargets efficiently.

ERD (Extended Reach Drilling)
ERD configurations allow drilling into reservoirswhere vertical access is difficult or impossible(onshore/offshore). With ERD productconfigurations, it is possible to reach oil/gas-bearing formations or pockets that areuneconomic to develop with standard APIproducts. ERD allows multiple subsurfacelocations to be reached using only one drillingpad, which reduces the environmental impact.
ERD configurations allow the drilling of:
� Very shallow – high build rate (>6°/100ft);
� Very long – high angle (>55°);
� Complex well design – turns, drops, etc.; and
� Deepwater – >3,000ft.

VAM Drilling heavy weight drill pipe (HWDP) providesa gradual transition from flexible drill pipe to heavyrigid drill collars. This gradual change significantlyreduces the stress concentration which wouldotherwise occur. Because HWDP is stiffer than drillpipe, it simplifies directional control and reducesfatigue problems associated with non-conventionaland high-angle drilling. HWDP is most commonlyused in directional drilling, where it also helps tocontrol torque and prevent differential sticking. Thethree-point contact profile reduces drag, and thecenter upset prevents excessive buckling.
Heavy Weight Drill Pipe (HWDP)Gradual Transition and Weight in Complex Wells
HWDP provides a gradual transition from drill pipe todrill collars.
VAM Drilling heavy weight drill pipe(HWDP) assembly consists of a tooljoint (pin and box) and a thick-walledtube with a raised central section.VAM Drilling HWDP incorporatesthe following features.

Heavy weight spiral drill pipe (HWSP) from VAM Drilling is designed for tough drilling environments in vertical anddirectional wells. For vertical wells VAM Drilling’s HWSP is a transition member, while in directional wells it servesas a weight member and provides additional stiffness to prevent buckling. The HWSP design employs many ofthe same features as VAM Drilling’s heavy weight drill pipe. All sizes are manufactured by friction welding a tooljoint on each end of a specially machined heavy wall pipe.
Heavy Weight Spiral Drill Pipe (HWSP)
Spiraling helps to reducedifferential sticking andimproves hole cleaning.
The pipe body has an enlarged centersection with three spiral grooves andincorporates all features of theconventional HWDP with thefollowing additional advantages:
� Increased weight and stiffness;
� Reduced buckling and differentialsticking;
� Improved torque and drag control; and
� Better hole cleaning.
Materials
Conventional heavy weight drillpipe (HWDP) from VAM Drilling issupplied with AISI 1340 steel orequivalent in the pipe body and AISI4145H modified tool joints. VAMDrilling HWDP is normally providedwith welded tool joints, but an integralversion can be supplied on request.
For Sour Serviceapplications, VAMDrilling’s ERS 425™
proprietary gradehas been developedto provide bottomhole
assembly (BHA)products with improved impactstrength, fracture toughness and
resistance to sulfide stress cracking.The mechanical properties ofERS 425 meet or exceed therequirements of API Specification7.1 and ISO 10424:2004. In NACEtest TM 0177, the resistance ofERS 425 to sulfide stress crackingsignificantly surpasses the resistanceof AISI 4145H-modified steel. VAMDrilling’s ERS 425 HWDP continuesto provide superior performance inSour Service applications aroundthe world.

An overview of some additionalinformation available in the HWDPPerformance Datasheet is shown below.
Useful datasheet definitions:
� Torsional Ratio: The ratio ofthe connection torsional strengthdivided by the pipe body torsionalstrength. API recommends a ratioof 0.80 or larger.
� Balance OD: The tool joint ODwhere the yield of the box is equalto the yield of the pin for a giventool joint ID.
� Bending Strength Ratio (BSR):This bending criteria is defined inthe API spec RP7G as an inertiaratio between pin and boxconnection. A rotary shoulderedconnection that has a BSR of 2.5(or 2.5:1) is generally accepted asan average balanced connection.
� Load Chart: Chart used todetermine the operation zone fortool joint in tension and torque.
� Wear Chart: Chart used todetermine the recommendedmake-up torque for worn products.

Drill Collars
Drill collars are thick-walled tubularpieces machined from solid steel bars,forming a component of the bottomhole assembly that provides weight-on-bit for improved drilling performance.VAM Drilling has been making drillcollars for more than 50 years andwas the first company to make smalldiameter pierced drill collars from solidbar. Bars are trepanned on equipmentspecially designed by VAM Drilling.
Today, VAM Drilling provides a full rangeof slick and spiral drill collars in AISI4145H-modified steel, ERS 425™ SourService steel and non-magnetic alloys.
Drill collars from VAM Drilling areavailable with the following features:
� ODs from 2-7/8” to 14”;
� Mechanical propertiesguaranteed to 1” below thesteel’s surface at ambienttemperature;
� Enhanced fatigue resistance(threads cold rolled, pin-reliefgroove and box bore back forAPI standard connections);
� Phosphate-coated threads toprevent galling; and
� Hardbanding is availableupon request.

In order to reduce differential pressuresticking, the surface of drill collars canbe spiral-grooved. VAM Drilling spiraldrill collars are the perfect solution fordeep, directional or deviated drilling.Cross sections of the drill collarsreduce the contact area with thewall of the hole.
The grooving consists of three right-hand spirals, machined on VAMDrilling’s unique triple-headed millingmachines. Stress relief featuresimprove the bending strength ofpin and box API connections and,therefore, durability. Bore back on boxand stress relief grooves on pin aredefined by API.
VAM Drilling spiral drill collars reducewall contact area and eliminatedifferential sticking.

Drill collars are manufactured to customer requirements and, where applicable, tospecifications such as API, ISO, NS1, DS1, etc. and are inspected 100% after completion.
VAM Drilling drill collars forstandard use are made of AISI4145H chromium molybdenumalloy steel. The concentration ofresidual elements, such as sulphurand phosphorus, is reducedduring the steel-making process,producing homogeneous steelwith excellent physical properties.
VAM Drilling can supply drill collarsfor use on sour gas wells whereresistance to hydrogen
embrittlement, caused by thepresence of H2S, is expected.VAM Drilling’s ERS 425™ SourService grade material has beendeveloped to provide bottom-holeassembly (BHA) products withimproved impact strength (KCV),fracture toughness (K1c) andresistance to sulfide stress cracking(SSC) in wells with a Sour Serviceenvironment. The mechanicalproperties of ERS 425 meetor exceed the requirements
of API Specification 7.1 andISO 10424:2004. In NACE testsTM 0177, the resistance of ERS425 to SSC significantly surpassesthe resistance of standard4145H-modified steel. ERS 425drill collars have provided superiorperformance in Sour Serviceapplications around the world.In addition, VAM Drilling suppliesspecial non-magnetic (Amagnit™
501) drill collars for extreme serviceor directional drilling applications.

Type B hardbanding is recommended on drillcollars with slip and elevator recesses and isapplied in a 4” long wear pad above theelevator recess, a 1” long wear pad abovethe slip recess and a 10” long wear padunder the slip recess.
For drill collars with a slip recess only, type Chardbanding is applied to a 10” long wearpad under the slip recess and a 4” long wearpad above the slip recess.
For drill collars without any recess, type Ahardbanding is applied in a 10” long wearpad located 30” from the end of the pin.

Reducing Non-Productive Time
Hydroclean™ drill pipe and Hydrocleanheavy weight drill pipe are newgeneration hole-cleaning and torque-management tools patented byVAM Drilling. Hydroclean reducesor eliminates problems associatedwith cuttings build-up and excesstorque and drag in complex or non-conventional wells. For the operator,this translates into improved drillingperformance and significantcost savings.
Manufactured on full length joints,there are two to three machinedupsets with specially designedgrooves or “blades” that are theprimary feature of Hydroclean. Inthese bladed sections, the combinationof rotational speed, flow rate and thespecially designed angles producesa number of mechanical and
� Reduced operating costswith reduction of wiper trips,backreaming and sweeps;
� Improved hole-cleaningefficiency (60%);
� Reduction in torque-and-dragloads (30%);
� Decreased non-productivetime (20%); and
� Optimized hydraulics and pressuremanagement through a reduction ofpressure losses by more than 50%.
Hydroclean reduces or eliminatesproblems with cuttings build-up. BecauseHydroclean placement is essential toproper product performance, ourtechnical support teams are availableto make sure your string is designedfor optimum performance.
hydrodynamic effects that significantlyimprove hole-cleaning and greatlyreduce the amount of non-productivetime associated with a build-up ofcuttings. These effects increase thequantity of cuttings re-introduced intothe flowstream, resulting in a wellborethat cleans up better and faster.
Also, within the machined upsets arebearing sections designed to spreadout the bearing load and improvetool life. The bearing section has aslightly larger OD and is suppliedwith a “casing friendly” hardbandingmaterial. Each bearing section isspecially designed to allow easyrepair using standard automatedhardbanding machines. The slightlylarger OD offers protection againstborewall damage as well asprotection of the bladed section.
When properly spaced in thedrill string, Hydroclean provides:
Initial cuttingsbed height
Two zones for full liftingand scooping of cuttings
Dynamicrecirculation
Final cuttingsbed height
High-velocityannular flow area

Non-Magnetic MaterialsFor Directional Drilling
For directional drilling applications,VAM Drilling supplies BHAcomponents made from Amagnit™
501, a chrome manganese carbonaustenitic alloy obtained bycombining a proprietary chemicalanalysis and a rotary hammerforging process.
Amagnit 501 is specifically designedfor extreme service. This chromemanganese, low carbon austeniticalloy ensures non-magnetic steelthat is resistant to stress corrosioncracking and provides superiormechanical properties with lowmagnetic permeability, excellentmachineability, and no tendency for
galling. Consistent non-magneticbehavior is essential in this specialalloy steel, as well as material that isfree of hot spots. These non-magneticcharacteristics of Amagnit 501are certified by VAM Drilling upondelivery for the life of the product.
Mechanical and non-magneticproperties of Amagnit 501 meet orexceed API 7.1 and ISO 10424:2004minimum requirements.
For specific downhole applicationswhere higher mechanical propertiesare required, as can often be thecase with MWD housing, high-strength corrosion resistant steel
Amagnit™ 601 is also availableupon request.

The metallurgical and materialintegrity of Amagnit™ 501 isachieved by careful raw materialselection, closely controlledremelting procedures and efficientforging. Exact time/temperature/forcecycles are achieved on a high-speed, high-precision rotary forge.The melting technology and warmforging process used in makingAmagnit 501 alloy eliminate theprecipitation of carbides on grainboundaries, thus producing a
non-sensitized microstructure.This is achieved through the rigorousselection of the time/temperature/force cycle used during the warm-working process.
Amagnit 501 was exposed toproprietary test methods of amajor directional drilling company(U-bend, C-ring, etc) and out-performed competitive grades.A detailed report of the testresults is available on request.

In addition,systematic stress corrosiontests on each bar provideconstant correlation betweenits actual chemistry time/temperature/force cyclesand its corrosion resistance.
Superior corrosion and gallingresistance make Amagnit 501the obvious choice fordownhole equipment.

Stabilizers are used to prevent buckling ofdrill collars and undesirable deviation of thedrill string. Typically, one or two stabilizersare placed in the bottom hole assembly (BHA)to increase drill string stability. Additionalstabilizers can be added to the drill string tofurther improve BHA solidness and minimizewellbore deviation.
Stabilizers are also used to avoid differentialsticking of the drill string and to reducevibration, drill pipe whirl and wellboreturtuousity. Whether you are drilling vertical,horizontal or deviated wells, by using VAMDrilling stabilizers you maintain drilling trajectoryto reach your drilling targets efficiently.

Several bands of hardbanding(generally 3” to 4” in length) are appliedto the box tool joint and an optionalband (approximately 3/4” in length) canbe applied to the box elevator taper.
Heavy Weight Drill PipeVAM Drilling offers hardbanding on tooljoint pin and box sections and centerwear pad. However, special requests fortool joint box elevator tapers are alsoavailable. Several bands of hardbanding(generally 3” to 4” in length) are appliedto the pin and box tool joints and anoptional band (approximately 3/4” inlength) may be applied to the boxelevator taper. Several bands of
hardbanding (generally 2 x 3”) areapplied to the center wear pad.
Drill CollarType B hardbanding is recommendedon drill collars with slip and elevatorrecesses and is applied in a 4” longwear pad above the elevator recess,a 1” long wear pad above the sliprecess, and a 10” long wear pad underthe slip recess.
For drill collars with only slip recess,type C hardbanding is applied to a10” long wear pad under the sliprecess and a 4” long wear pad abovethe slip recess.
For drill collars without any recess,type A hardbanding is applied to slickdrill collars in a 10” long wear padlocated 30” from the end of the pin.
For more information on drill collarhardbanding, see page 79.
Hardbanding
Hardbanding is available in raised,semi-raised or flush configurations.“Casing friendly” solutions can alsobe selected. In addition to ourproprietary tungsten carbidehardbanding (Series 1000, 3000and 5000 and Series CF 500, 1000and 2000), VAM Drilling is also aqualified applicator for:
� Tuboscope TCS 8000 and TCS Ti� ARNCO 100XT & 150XT� Armacor M Star� Duraband NC� Castolin OTW-12� Procasing
Hardbanding supplied byVAM Drilling increases tooljoint life and is applied priorto the tool joint being weldedto the pipe body. It is appliedunder closely controlledconditions, resulting in auniform, low porosity, wear-resistant surface.
VAM Drilling’s specialhardbanding (Series 5000and Series CF 2000) is anon-abrasive hardbanding inwhich the tungsten carbidepellets are buried below thejoint surface and coveredwith a layer of soft metal.This special hardbanding isrecommended when casingwear is a problem and thereis an issue with aggressiveformations.
Make and Break – Saves You Money
Procedure for tool joint make-up/break-out:
� Joints are finish-machined, inspected andphos-coated prior to operation;
� Threads of each box and pin member are cleanedthoroughly to remove any oil, grease or other matter;
� Box and pin threads are thoroughly coated with drillpipe thread compound;
� Joints are made-up hand tight and then power-tightened to 100% of recommended make-uptorque and broken-out to hand-tight condition forthree successive make and break cycles; and
� Joints are finally broken apart, cleaned thoroughly,and inspected to ensure that no galling of thethreads and sealing shoulders has occurred.
Factory make-up/break-out of VAM Drilling tool jointsprovides excellent insurance against damage todrill pipe connections.
VAM Drilling’s make-up/break-out service is performedconsistently using the same procedure for each joint ofpipe, thus avoiding material handling mishaps and thepotential variability of procedure used on different rigsites. If galling does occur during the process, it isrepaired or replaced immediately, saving additional rigtime or transportation. Pipe that has been properlybroken-in lasts longer.
Time is money on the drilling rig. It takes about10 minutes per joint to break-in pipe at the rig site.If you are breaking in a 15,000-foot drill string (about500 joints), that’s 5,000 minutes (or 83 hours) of rigand crew time. The chart above demonstrates thecost of pipe break-in at different rig day rates.

Coating
IPC solutions that are available for VAMDrilling customers on a global basis include:
� NOV Tuboscope – TK-34, TK-34 P,TK-34 XT; and
� DJ Coatings – DJ207.
Other coating materials are availableon request.
External CoatingBefore shipping, VAM Drilling products areexternally coated on the outer surface, andprotectors are fitted on the threads. This externalcoating acts as a barrier against corrosion duringtransportation and long-term storage.
A varnish is applied to drill pipes. On all otherproducts and accessories, VAM Drilling appliespaint. Both the varnish and the paint havebeen developed to minimize environmentalimpact. For technical specifications on eachof the above products, please contact yourlocal VAM Drilling Technical Support.
Benefits include:
� Prevention of pipe ID corrosion, which caninduce pipe cracks and failures;
� Reduction of friction losses along thestring, therefore giving additionaloperational margin on pressure budget (upto 15%);
� Compatibility with all drilling fluids;
� Decrease of ID build-up;
� Resistance to high temperatures up to204°C (400°F) with mud flow; and
� Field proven solution.
Plastic coatings provided by VAM Drillinghave an extensive worldwide field record.VAM Drilling has identified coating solutionsnear all of our manufacturing plants.
Pipe supplied by VAM Drilling is available withmost industry accepted coating and is appliedby premium coating applicators worldwide.
Internal Plastic CoatingInternal Plastic Coating (IPC) is generally anepoxy resin that is applied on the ID of drillpipe and heavy weight drill pipe in a thin layer(0.1 to 0.4 µm or 5 to 15 mils). It is depositedon the pipe after the entire manufacturingprocess is complete. The coating plays akey role in the protection of the pipe ID fromcorrosion, thus extending the life span ofthe tubular in the field.
Additionally, IPC significantly improves theflow of fluids within the pipe. The coating isdesigned such that mechanical (tensile andtorsional) performances of the pipe arefully preserved.
Thread Compounds
109
Before applying the threadcompound to connections, checkto see that the threads and theshoulders are clean and free ofdirt or other foreign material.Drilling fluids and/or additives mayaffect the frictional properties ofthe thread compound or increasethe chance of corrosion within theconnection, so it is important torinse all foreign material off theconnection prior to applyingthread compound.
In order to ease the application ofthread compound in cold climates,it may be necessary to heat thecompound before application.Never add solvents to thin thethread compound.
After application of threadcompound, the lid must beset over the bucket in order toprevent foreign material or waterfrom entering the bucket andcontaminating the compound.
It is important that the correct amount of thread compound be applied on con-nections. VAM Drilling is concerned about the use of its products on the fieldand their environmental impact. Please follow VAM Drilling recommendationsregarding quantities and application procedure for thread compounds.
VAM Drilling declines any responsibility if the threadcompound does not meet supplier specifications.
Figure 7. Too littlethread compound
Figure 8. Too muchthread compound
Figure 6. The correctapplication of threadcompound
The thread compound should be applied evenly but sparingly, so that thethread profile is still visible, as shown in the following pictures:
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 superiorproduct performance. Pipe thread compound (pipe dope) is a specially formulated blend of lubricate and fineparticles that prevents thread galling (a particular form of metal-to-metal damage) and assists in sealing theconnection. The American Petroleum Institute (API) specifies properties of pipe dope, including its coefficientof friction. The rig crew applies pipe dope to the drill pipe tool joints every time a connection is made accordingto the corresponding VAM Drilling procedure.
Application of Thread Compound (Running Dope)
Example:� Published recommended make-up torque = 20,000 ft-lbs
� Thread compound friction factor = 1.12
► Final make-up torque = 20,000 x 1.12 = 22,400 ft-lbs
In the case of HP/HT drilling conditions, thestability of the dope’s friction factor has to bechecked. In the case of a friction factor differentfrom 1, published make-up torque values mustbe corrected by multiplying them by the threadcompound friction factor.
As per API rules, make-up torque values are calculated with the friction factor of the dope equal to 1.
