Developed by Interpipe’s R&D team specifically for the US market, Intrepid-SP is well-suited for running in directionally drilled and horizontal wells, which dominate unconventional shale production. In fact, the connection was first successfully run in a directional well in Texas back in 2021, confirming its durability and performance.
Interpipe supplies a wide range of pipes with Intrepid-SP – from 4 1/2” to 13 3/8” in diameter, in API, Sour Service, High Collapse, and Restricted Yield steel grades. On US soil, the most in-demand product size today is 5 1/2” casing.
Bryan Nichols, Pipe Sales Manager for the North and South American markets at Interpipe:
- We have customers among drilling operators that are expanding their footprint in the Central Permian Basin, running Intrepid-SP. New wells in this area are directional or horizontal, literally giving production a second life. Our casing finished with Intrepid-SP connections works effectively in both types of wells. High operational torque and enhanced structural capacity make it a strong alternative to standard API BTC.
