Abstract
The application of API threaded connections for casing and tubing is limited due to their imperfect sealing ability and weak connecting strength. To overcome these prominent drawbacks of API threaded connections, new WSP series of premium threaded connections are developed by Wuxi Seamless Oil Pipe Corporation for HTHP(High temperature, High pressure) wells, deep wells, steam injection wells, highly deviated and long horizontal wells, etc. Characteristics and application ranges of eight kinds of these high performance premium threaded connections are compared and analyzed thoroughly in this paper. The comparison results are not only a good reference for technicians to design new connections, but a technical proof for users to choose the proper connections in different applications.
