For decades operators have had no choice but to utilize expensive, full premium semi-flush connections for applications where clearance and strength is critical, but semi-premium sealability is adequate. The major mills have failed to deliver a connection that’s both economical and technically viable. We’re disrupting that market to give our customers and partners the economic solution they need for the next generation of drilling. Torque, strength, and clearance can all be achieved without the high cost of a metal-to-metal seal. The Constrictor™ thread form delivers excellent semi-premium sealability for those applications where a metal-to-metal seal isn’t required. Anaconda™ SP will run faster, better resist galling, and provide more torque capacity than conventional semi-flush connections. Makeup is approximately 5 turns compared to 12 for API BTC. The Constrictor® thread form requires little radial interference, reducing hoop stress and improving corrosion performance, while also providing the confidence to rotate.
