premium connection joint using two power tongs with three different torque reaction systems (free-floating backup, integral backup, and snub line). To evaluate this phenomenon, laboratory tests were performed on a 5.50-in. The friction and compressive forces can also introduce thread galling problems that affect connection integrity. Side forces create high friction on the threads that can cause the measuring system to provide an incorrect torque reading, which can result in an undertorqued connection. The torque reaction system in the tong plays an important role in providing optimum torque to the connection, which depends on how well it eliminates undesirable side forces on and bending of the connection. Over the years many different tong types have been developed, from manual tongs to fully mechanized power tongs. The tubular running process comprises the use of a tong to make up and break out connections. Proper selection of makeup method is essential to achieving long-term performance of premium connections.
The stress on the tubular and the connection, particularly in high-pressure, high-temperature wells, creates challenges for connection providers.
Tubular connection integrity is a key to short-term and long-term well integrity.
