VAxplorer®

The premium connection for extreme torques and extended reach wells.

VAxplorer® is a  CAL IV Casing Connection with high torque capability for rotation operations.

Product characteristics and customer benefits

  • CAL IV connection: Minimizes risks - the connection design is successfully CAL IV tested according to ISO13679 and API RP 5C5 latest edition.
  • High torque capability: Ensures well integrity - supplemental tests for gas sealability at yield torque were performed, also with bending (20°) and internal pressure. High yield torque (for size 5-1/2” x 23 ppf P110 above 22000 ft•lbs)
  • Rotation & extended reach: VAxplorer® helps to protect against unexpected costs - VAxplorer® is a tailor-made product for extended reach wells and rotational operations. It withstands the severe impact on the material during rotational operations in extended reach wells and grants 100% compression and tension efficiency.
  • Finite Elemente Analysis (FEA): FEA of the pipe connection to simulate stresses within the material during make-up and under combined loads under operation as defined in the Von-Mises-Ellipse.
