  1. PPI TECHNOLOGY SERVICES DEA 151: QUALCONNModernization of Connection Performance Properties Drilling Engineering Association Brian Schwind, PE PPI Technology Services DEA 151

  2. Introduction: Need Connections: 70% to 90% of Failures Ignored in Well Design! DEA 151

  3. Introduction: Industry Need • Unknown Performance of Connections • Pipe Performance exceeding connection ratings • Supply Requirements: Competition • Multi-source for meeting schedule requirements 3. Cost: Competition • As important as the tubular • Failure- Financial Loss • Liability- life and property DEA 151

  4. Introduction: Operator Experience 1. Failures are found two ways: • Laboratory- Rare for a test to go without performance issue • Field -Most costly / HSE implications 2. Operators have: • TotallyEliminatedFieldFailures through an integrated Qualification Program • Program involves applying what was tested, running per test, and applying within the limits of qualification • Independent verification of test results DEA 151

  5. Connection Reliability Environment:Test Load Envelope/ cycling, SLE, Failure Points, Temperature Installation:Torque, RPM, Thread Compound Application, running spec. Manufacturing(Complete Specifications) Foundation: Design Related(FEA, ISO 13679, Design Calcs) • Design: Test to Dimensional, Makeup, and Load Extremes • Database Provides Dimensional specifications. • Run Per Specification, within Service Load Envelope Qualification has Eliminated Failures! DEA 151

  6. QUALCONN Test Data: $50 Million invested The Connections you want! Product Line QualificationTubing & Casing: HPHT: Asia, Europe, North America CRA: 13% Cr, 22% Cr, 28 Cr, C-276, high nickel Deep Water: Large Diameter/ high rate wells Cutting Edge and Conventional Wells DEA 151

  7. Connection Test DataCasing Design: Detailed Graphical Results Specimen Test Data: Define Service Load Envelope 90+% of Drilling Team DEA 151

  8. Project Concern: Resolved DEA 151

  9. Project Schedule: Finalize Database Structure Finalizing Acquire test data June-November Coordinate Software June- December Coordinate Suppliers June-December Review/ authenticate data June- December Request additional data September- December QC QUALCONN /review October-December Finalize data presentation November-January DEA 151

  10. QUALCONN Project Benefits Short Term: • Profit from $50 MM Testing performed over 15+ years • Performance Options, Delivery Requirements • Save Time: One Stop for Objective Connection Data • Address Deepwater, Modern Performance Properties Long Term: • Network, Leverage, and Direct $7MM Product Development Effort • Upgrade Casing Design Program: Include Connectors • Lower Procurement Cost/ Reduced Trouble Time DEA 151

  11. QUALCONNSuppliers Objectives Highly Leveraged Project Cost- Capture Learnings Unified Customer Voice Access to new markets- new users Emphasize the importance ofconnectionperformance Reliability Testing-Available to entire company-MEM Promotion! DEA 151

  12. QUALCONN Operator Objectives Save Money! Quantify Connection Performance- Capture Learnings Integrate into Well Design: Schlumberger/Landmark Primary Cause of Failure- Eliminate! Available to entire company-EPOM Access to new sources-schedule & performance Emphasize the importance of connection performance Benefit from experience of others-do not re-invent the wheel! Address Connections! DEA 151
