New series of connections offers flexibility in onshore shale plays

New connections have been developed to address the emerging needs of wells in unconventional shale plays, with longer laterals. These premium and semi-premium connections are targeted for use, where higher torque requirements are necessary to land the casing, as well as to ensure proper cementation. Combined with high performance tubulars, these connections allow operators to land the casing string quicker, and reduce non-productive time.
