Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a spacial thread joint which allows a predetermined contact area pressure to remain in a metal seal part so as to ensure a leak proof ability without reducing the overtorque limit value. CONSTITUTION:Threads of a steel pipe and a coupling are trapezoidal threads. Each trough 3b of the threads of the steel pipe 1 and each crest 4b of the threads of the coupling 2 are formed so as to have respective gradients which are equal to each other, and accordingly, they linearly and firmly contact with each other when they are engaged together. The depth of the trough of the thread of the coupling which is nearest to the seal part is shallower than that of the troughs of standard threads specified in the standard, by delta with respect to three crests of the threads of the distal end part of the steel pipe, which are nearer to a metal seal part than the other, and the depths of two troughs subsequent thereto are set so as to be shallower than the same by (2/3).delta and (1/3).delta, respectively. The heights of the crests of the thread of the pipe are decreased by the equal values, respectively, thereby it is possible to prevent the crests 3a of the threads of the pipe and the troughs 4a of the threads of the coupling 2 are prevented from making firmly contact with each other.

As the special screw joint for oil country tubular goods, for example, there is one described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 12995/1989, and as shown in FIG. 2, the seal is a tip portion 5 of the steel pipe 1 and a coupling 2. The shape of the threaded portion 15 is determined from the required characteristics of the joint tensile strength, based on the metal seal formed by the metal contact between the torque shoulder portions 6. Of the two types of thread shapes defined by the API standard, the buttress thread shape has a better joint tensile strength than the round thread shape. Therefore, a special thread joint has a buttress thread shape, that is, a base. Widely adopted screw shape.

Special screw joints are often used in deep wells in high-temperature and high-pressure environments, which are difficult to handle with API-standard round or buttress screw joints. Generally, a high tensile force in the pipe axis direction due to its own weight is applied. As described above, at the time of fastening the special screw joint, after applying a lubricant called compound and hand-tightening, the fastener is tightened to a predetermined torque value. As shown, the male thread 3 of the tube 1
And a torque called shoulder torque caused by interference with the female screw portion 4 of the coupling 2 and a torque called a delta torque (after point A) higher than that.

Of these torques, the latter delta torque contributes to the leak resistance of the special screw joint, and the delta torque and the contact surface pressure generated at the seal portion increase monotonically as shown in FIG. Have a relationship. Further, the contact surface pressure has a monotonically decreasing relationship as shown in FIG. 5 with respect to the pipe axial direction tensile force after tightening. The gas leak resistance of the special screw joint is most affected by the contact surface pressure. The higher the contact surface pressure, the more the gas leak resistance improves. In order to ensure a leak resistance by allowing a predetermined contact surface pressure to remain with respect to the seal portion 7 of the special screw joint that is often used in the state where a high tensile force is applied in the direction, The following means were taken alone or in combination.

However, in the means of the above (1), the tightening torque causes a galling in the seal portion 7 due to excessive tightening, or a macroscopic view at the pipe tip 5 and the torque shoulder portion 6. Since there is an upper limit value due to dynamic plastic deformation, that is, overtorque generation, depending on the grade and size of the pipe 1, it is difficult to tighten with sufficient torque due to the upper limit regulation. There are many cases where it is impossible to maintain the contact surface pressure of.

Further, in the means (2) above, attention is paid to the fact that the extensional deformation of the limit cross-section portion 8 of the coupling 2 is mainly responsible for the reduction of the contact surface pressure at the time of tensile load. However, the outer diameter of the coupling 2 is enlarged as described above, that is, the outer diameter of the coupling 2 is arbitrarily increased as described above. Changing the diameter presents problems such as the need to make significant changes to the well string design.

Further, although the means for increasing the screw length to reduce the inner diameter of the coupling 2 at the limit cross-section is effective for suppressing the reduction of the contact surface pressure at the time of tensile load, the taper screw length is increased. Since the inner diameter of the pipe 1 is constant, the wall thickness of the pipe tip 5 becomes relatively thin, the above-mentioned over torque limit value becomes small, and the allowable tightening torque is limited to a narrow range. For this reason, it is not only difficult to apply sufficient tightening torque, but when a compression load is applied to the screw joint in an actual oil well, the pipe tip easily plastically deforms, causing problems such as leakage. Cause of.

Further, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2-43948, it has been proposed to improve the joint strength under tensile load by changing the screw pitch midway along the pipe axis. However, it is insufficient from the viewpoint of improving joint strength including leak resistance, and it was impossible to leave a predetermined surface pressure at the seal portion. The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is a special screw that can ensure leak resistance by allowing a predetermined contact surface pressure to remain in the metal seal portion without reducing the overtorque limit value. Intended for fittings.

To achieve the above object, an oil well pipe threaded joint of the present invention is an oil well pipe threaded joint having a metal seal portion and a threaded portion following the metal seal portion,
When the above-mentioned threaded portion is fastened to the pipe and the coupling, the thread crests of the female screw engraved on the inner periphery of the coupling and the thread roots of the male screw engraved on the outer periphery of the pipe contact at the same gradient. In addition, the thread groove depth of the female screw on the side of the pipe tip closest to the metal seal portion is shallower than the reference value.

[Function] By changing the ratio of the cross-sectional area of the coupling to the cross-sectional area of the pipe in the limit cross-sectional area of the coupling (hereinafter, referred to as joint efficiency), the tensile force in the pipe axial direction applied to the special screw joint and the sealing portion The relationship with the surface pressure is shown in FIG. In other words, the greater the joint efficiency,
That is, it can be seen that the reduction of the contact surface pressure under a high tensile load is suppressed by increasing the limit cross-sectional area of the coupling.

That is, as a result of making the thread groove depth of one or more female threads near the limit cross-section of the coupling, that is, the pipe tip side shallower than the standard value determined by the standard, the leakage resistance is improved. It was found to be very effective for improvement. For example, the standard thread height specified in the standard,

As described above, the threaded joint for oil country tubular goods of the present invention has a leak resistance even when used in a deep well in a high temperature and high pressure environment, that is, in a state in which a high tensile force in the pipe axis direction is applied. Since the minimum contact surface pressure required for the above can be always secured in the seal portion, the reliability in using the oil country tubular goods is improved.
