New development for the shale operations: Interpipe expanded the INTREPID product line with an upgraded modification
Share the news:
Interpipe presents a new INTREPID series solution – INTREPID-SP HT.

Semi-premium threaded connection with high torque performance successfully cleared all necessary validation phases at an independent testing facility. Its optimized geometry enhances structural stability during casing running operations.

Interpipe has a long history of engineering premium and semi-premium steel threaded connections for seamless pipes developed for harsh environments. This modification was engineered specifically to meet the rigorous demands of the oil and gas sector, tailored for horizontal drilling and shale applications.

INTREPID-SP HT is fully interchangeable with standard API Buttress threads, eliminating the need for additional accessories or crossovers during running operations. The performance of the thread was validated by replicating real-world operating conditions using the universally recognized Shale Test Protocol.

Key Specifications:

  • Size Range: 114.3 mm to 339.7 mm (4.5" to 13.375")
  • Pin-to-pin design ensures easy connection make-up.
  • Flush internal diameter (ID) eliminates flow turbulence.
  • Applicable for vertical, directional, and horizontal well applications.
  • High operational torque

Oleksii Chuiev, Deputy CPRO:

- The Interpipe connection development team continuously works on improving the performance of our semi-premium threaded connections. We expect INTREPID-SP HT to become a leading solution in the segment of Buttress-compatible semi-premium connections.
