API Enhanced
A solution for Unconventional Wells
Unconventional wells are characterized for high burst pressures and flow rates resulting from the completions program, mixed with sour environments, and highly deviated well designs. These standardized well designs use batch drilling and cost-effective materials to help maintain total well cost. Since the early 2000’s, Vallourec has been developing a wide portfolio of cost-effective grades specially designed for unconventional wells.
Cost effective
Vallourec API Enhanced grades are specifically designed for unconventional wells enabling standardization and reduced string cost thanks to enhanced collapse and burst resistance
Extensive offer
Wide range of API Enhanced grades allowing increased pressure when flowing, higher torque limits when rotating and longer string lengths where needed. Adapted material for all H2S environments, from mild to severe sour service
Short lead-time
Our products can be offered with shorter lead-time thanks to our optimized production routes. Standard cycle times mean consistent deliveries every month for confidence of supply to keep programs running
