TP-QR Premium Connection: Large Diameter Surface Casing Premium Thread | TPCO Certified

TP-QR Premium Connection is a professional large-diameter premium casing thread connection developed by TPCO, specially optimized for surface casing harsh downhole conditions. Different from conventional API standard threads, TP-QR solves the most common field failure pain points such as cross-threading, thread galling, poor sealing, bending failure and stress corrosion. Verified by finite element analysis and strict ISO full-scale physical tests, it has become a reliable high-performance connection for onshore and offshore large-size casing projects.

1. TP-QR Premium Connection Basic Specifications

1.1 Size Range

Covers large diameter casing specifications: 13-3/8 inch ~ 24 inch, fully applicable to mainstream surface casing sizes for global oil and gas field development.

1.2 Core Application Scenarios

• Onshore & Offshore large-size surface casing
• High-velocity gas production wells requiring low flow resistance
• Deviated wells and directional wells with bending load requirements
• Mild and moderate CO₂/H₂S corrosive wells
• Long-term stable monitoring wells and injection-production wells

Our engineering team can provide connection selection guidance based on well depth, casing size, pressure conditions and corrosive environment requirements.

2. Five Core Technical Advantages & Closed-Loop Evidence

2.1 3T.P.I 1:12 Taper Modified Hook Thread (Anti-Cross Thread & Anti-Galling)

TP-QR adopts a 1:12 taper and 3 threads per inch coarse thread structure, realizing fast casing running and completely avoiding cross-threading during on-site make-up. The upgraded hook thread profile adopts a 4° reverse angle load flank design, which greatly improves tensile strength and compression resistance. The optimized thread geometry effectively reduces thread galling risks, solving the industry's most common on-site rework problem.

2.2 Precision Torque Shoulder for Stable Power-Tight Make-Up

The independent torque shoulder achieves accurate torque control during power-tight make-up. It avoids under-torque leakage or over-torque thread damage existing in ordinary API threads. Meanwhile, the shoulder structure enhances overall compression bearing capacity, ensuring structural integrity under complex downhole loads.

2.3 Full Internal Flush Streamlined Profile

The zero-step inner cavity design eliminates fluid turbulence and pressure loss under high-speed gas flow. It reduces casing inner wall erosion, stabilizes wellbore flow rate, and guarantees long-term stable production capacity, which cannot be achieved by conventional API threaded connections.

2.4 Full-Coverage Coupling Design

The coupling completely covers the thread vanishing zone where stress is highly concentrated. This design maximizes connection tensile efficiency, eliminates hidden dangers of tensile fracture during casing running and downhole tension load, and improves overall wellbore safety.

2.5 Global Low-Stress Anti-Corrosion Structure

The overall low-stress optimization design homogenizes thread and shoulder stress distribution, effectively resisting stress corrosion cracking in corrosive formations. It solves the pain point of short service life of ordinary threads in acidic well conditions.
