Our tubular
technology and services segment designs, manufactures, and sells
a complete line of premium connections and associated premium
tubular products and accessories. The term "premium"
connections refer to threaded connections with a gas-tight seal
and the ability to handle high torque, tension, and pressure.
Premium tubulars are seamless casing and tubing (as opposed to
rolled welded) with high-alloy chemistry and superior burst and
collapse-resistance characteristics under harsh conditions. Our
connections and premium products are used primarily for the completion
of gas wells and offshore and other wells that are drilled in
harsh high-temperature or high-pressure environments or in environmentally
sensitive areas.
