VAwizard®

The magic connection.

VAwizard® is the connection of choice for deviated multi-fractured horizontal wells, when lowest hoop stress combined with highest yield torque is required, while tension and compression strengths equal those of the pipe body.  

Product characteristics and customer benefits:

Lowest hoop stress & highest yield torque 

  • Ensures well integrity - with its low hoop stress combined with high torque transfer, VAwizard® is the connection of choice for deviated multi-fractured horizontal wells.

Minimized risk of jump-out

  • Avoids failures under bending loads - the connection design minimizes the risk of jump out failures under bending loads.

Interchangeable with VAroughneck® & API Buttress

  • Reduces costs - VAwizard® is fully interchangeable with API Buttress without using a crossover. It is also partially interchangeable with voestalpine Tubulars' VAroughneck® connection, allowing greater flexibility in string design.

Rotation during installation

  • Improves the quality of the cemet bond - the thread design offers the opportunity to rotate the casing string during installation. Due to the thread profile, the connection is able to handle axial loads without inducing high radial forces to pin and box.

Fit-for-purpose

  • The connection is fit-for-purpose tested to meet the exact requirements of this application. VAwizard® is available in API standard and proprietary grades. Customized customer specifications can also be fulfilled upon request.
