Definitions

  • This invention relates to a double shoulder tool joint, and more particularly, to a double shoulder tool joint, which has excellent liquid sealability even when repeatedly subject to make-up and break-out operations.
  • Drill pipes used for deepwater drilling and horizontal well drilling have conventionally been connected to each other by a tool joint.
  • the tool joint is defined and detailed by API (American Petroleum Institute) standards 5 DP.
  • API American Petroleum Institute
  • the tool joint has been formed to have a greater outer diameter than an outer diameter of a pipe body and a smaller inner diameter than an inner diameter of the pipe body. Since there are limits in size of the outer diameter and the inner diameter of the tool joint, the torque performance of the tool joint has generally been lower than the torque performance of the pipe body.
  • Patent Literature 1 See e.g. JP-T-2007-530875 , hereafter referred to as: Patent Literature 1 ).
  • the tool joint disclosed by Patent Literature 1 is a double shoulder tool joint which comprises a pipe joint whereby a box with a female threaded portion formed at one end of a drill pipe and a pin with a male threaded portion formed at one end of another drill pipe are screwed together.
  • the drill pipes are configured so as to be connected together successively by the tool joints with the box and the pin.
  • the box is provided with a box access sleeve formed parallel to a tip of the box, a female threaded portion formed with a predetermined taper relative to the box access sleeve, a box end sleeve formed parallel to the end of the box, an internal shoulder formed perpendicular to a pipe axis and extended from an end of the box end sleeve, a pipe inner diameter portion to provide a hollow portion along the pipe axis, and a box outer diameter portion to form an outer surface of the box.
  • the pin is provided with a pin nose having an outer surface parallel to the pipe axis, a male threaded portion formed adjacent to the pin nose and having the same taper as the taper of the box, a pin base formed adjacent to the male threaded portion and having an outer surface parallel to the pipe axis, a pin outer diameter portion to form an outer surface of the pin, and an external shoulder formed perpendicular to the pipe axis and extended from the pin outer diameter portion.
