API Ys Premium Connection

This document compares API connections and premium connections for casing and tubing. API connections include round thread, buttress thread, and extreme line connections. They are easy to manufacture and run but have poor tension resistance and sealability at high pressures. Premium connections have features like metal-to-metal seals, torque shoulders, and improved thread forms that provide better tension resistance, sealing performance, and resistance to compression, bending, and back-off. However, premium connections have a higher unit price and require more support for running and repairs.

Premium connections advantages

Relatively more expenses in term of unit price


Need good support such as running assistance and work shop for
repair
