Wedge 461®
TenarisHydril Wedge™ connection for unconventional wells. Simple and fast make-up, great robustness and exceptional torque to manage longer laterals. Substained by extended testing program and consistent field track record.
Wedge 461®
Easy make-up
A coloured locator stripe allows for visual confirmation of appropriate make-up, even at operating torque.
Wedge™ profile efficiency
Low TPI, rugged coarse dovetail thread design, deep stabbing. The simultaneous engagement of opposing flanks maximizes torque and compression efficiency.
Pin-to-pin contact
Provides extra torque capacity when subjected to incremented torque.
The solution for shales
Further evolution of the original TenarisHydril Wedge™ technology, specifically designed for shales, Wedge 461® enhances over-torque capacity of production strings. Maximizing the value for operators in the industrial drilling approach of unconventionals, this connection reduces running times and significantly decreases rejects and re-makeups. Supported by consistent relevant testing program, Wedge 461® has built a solid track record in shales basins in record time, being recognized as an optimum solution for unconventionals.
