Start Thread 1 3rd Gen. DSC ≈ 4 revolutions Start Thread 2 2nd Gen. DSC ≈ 13 revolutions Starting Thread Challenging Drilling Applications Demand New TechnologiesM. J.Jellison 3rd Gen. DSC combines two threads opposite 180 degrees apart (double-start) which reduce the revolutions from stab to make-up by 50%. 3rd Gen DSC run as fast or faster than the API equivalent connection.
Challenging Drilling Applications Demand New TechnologiesM. J.Jellison 3rd Gen. DSC(Dual-radius Thread Form) In smaller DP sizes, 3rd Gen. DSC have at least 37% larger thread root radii than API to reduce peak stresses. In larger DP sizes, 3rd Gen. DSC have at least 160% larger thread root radii than API to reduce peak stresses.

Challenging Drilling Applications Demand New TechnologiesM. J.Jellison Hardbanding Trends The hardband system for critical applications should incorporate the following features: • The hardband must be casing friendly with no tungsten carbides in its formulation. • The hardband should be applied in a raised configuration to maximize tool joint protection and limit contact between the bare steel on the tool joint OD and the well bore. • Both the pin and box members should include hardband to provide tool joint protection and minimize contact between the tool joint OD and wellbore.
Challenging Drilling Applications Demand New TechnologiesM. J.Jellison 1st Generation Casing Wear Machine – 2004 • Capable of testing hardband vs. casing only • Table was “hinged” • A pressure transducer was used to measure side load • Load fluctuation was 30-35% • Table traverses as the hard band rotates • Water was the only coolant which could be used
Challenging Drilling Applications Demand New TechnologiesM. J.Jellison 3rd Generation Hardband Test Machine 2007 Capable of simulating both “Open Hole” and “Cased Hole” operations The Casing or Stone rotates counter Hard Band rotation. This eliminates the need of a traversing table.

Challenging Drilling Applications Demand New TechnologiesM. J.Jellison First test results … Initial conditions were defined as: • samples machined from pipe body – tool joint weld area • samples to be rolled for 3 hours in H2S-saturated, 5% K2CO3 solution, top half of the autoclave filled with 6 bar partial pressure H2S gas (equivalent to 12% H2S) at 80°C, residual stress 90% of yield strength • samples then taken from the (purged) autoclave and kept in 5% clean K2CO3 solution at ambient temperature for transfer to fatigue test • fatigue testing at 90% +/- 10% load for up to 107 cycles … and resulted in: • very few failures with large scatter, some H2S-exposed samples showing better fatigue life than undamaged base line samples ? ? ?

Challenging Drilling Applications Demand New TechnologiesM. J.Jellison Conclusions • As the search for hydrocarbons extends into deeper and more remote subterranean targets and ever deeper waters, the demands placed on the drill string accelerate. • Higher torsional capacities, better strength to weight properties, faster running and tripping speeds are a few of the challenges that must be addressed with the next generation of drill stem technologies. • Critical ultra-deep, deep-water and ERD projects are already in the planning stages that cannot be efficiently drilled without the latest advances in drill pipe and drill stem designs. • Papers provide an update on recent developments and highlights some problem areas that are associated with the latest generation of extreme drilling applications. 18
