DINO VAM® is a Semi-Premium connection providing better mechanical performances, such as higher bending and compression, jump-out resistance, as well as easy running, with rugged coarse threads and improved stabbing features. It is the solution for large intermediate casing applications when looking for fast running and superior mechanical loads, with limited gas tightness, to overcome API Buttress threads limitations.
