VAM® EPIC
Premium upset Casing with Semi-Flush Connection – Highest performances and clearance
VAM® EPIC is a premium upset casing with integral connection bringing flexibility in the design job, either for high performances (up to 100% pipe body), or clearance, or a compromise between the two. Designed on demand for addressing challenges not covered by standard semi-flush or slim T&C connections. First semi-flush connection in the industry with such OD range (7 5/8” to 18”) able to reach 100% pipe body efficiency. For Deep Offshore, HPHT wells. Validated on API RP 5C5: 2017 CAL IV testing protocol.
Highest Integral Joint Performance
First semi-flush connection in the industry able to reach 100% pipe body efficiency with such OD range (7 5/8” to 18”) & as per most stringent testing protocol (API RP 5C5 2017 : CAL IV)
High Clearance & Smooth OD Transitions
Up to 50% improvement vs T&C. Smooth OD profile helps for running/pulling & cementing job.
Extreme Structural Performances
Stronger than the pipe by design, in particular: collapse, compaction resistance, & can act as a collapse propagation stopper.

Customer Story
“In February 2021, VAM® EPIC, a new Enhanced Premium Integral Connection for upset pipes in deepwater wells, was installed for the first time. Vallourec supplied over 5,000 ft (1,500 m) of upset pipe with 7 5/8’’ VAM® EPIC for a trial run in the Gulf of Mexico.”
