Abstract

Improving wear resistance of drill pipe sub thread is a vital task, and finding effective solution for it would much assist oil and gas companies to enhance well construction process. The report presents the results of comparative wear resistance tests for P147/147 and P133/133 subs of the top drive manufactured by OOO «NIGMASH» in Bashkortostan. The tests were performed by OOO «Tatburneft» holding company, a division of PAO «TATNEFT». Both, series and test subs were made from 40X2H4A steel. This report shows the results of metallographic studies and tests for improvement of the parts wear resistance, including the method of final electromechanical hardening (EMH) of the box and pin threads as compared with the conventional method of bulk heat treatment.The researches has developed the equipment, tools and technology for hardening of tool joint thread of drill pipe subs. The performed tests and studies aimed at enhancing efficiency of oil and gas well drilling. Their results are of much interest for oilfield operators, drilling and service contractors, as well as drilling subs manufacturers and repair companies.
