VAM® EDGE SFTM is a gas-tight expanded box premium connection with increased tension and torque capacity, making it ideal for production casing in the Shale plays.
The tapered two-step thread design technology means that it stabs deep with very low risk of cross-threading. The gas-tight metal seal is located in front of the mid-torque shoulder, thus protecting it from handling damage.
VAM® EDGE SFTM‘s high tension rating plus extremely high torque capacity make it ideal to run a full string length as production casing in Shale wells with extended horizontal sections.
