DINO VAM®
Fast-running Intermediate Casing
DINO VAM ® is a cost-effective threaded & coupled connection for surface and intermediate casing applications. Specially designed to reduce rig operating costs, it delivers running reliability through deep stabbing, no cross-threading and quick make-up.
Benefits
Benefits
Fast & safe running
30% reduced running time compared with API-Buttress.
Improved sealing
Large liquid-tight connection envelope tested against gas-kick scenarios*.
Deep Stabbing
Robust threads allow for extreme misalignment and high anti-galling.
* Gas-tightness under gas-kick scenario has been lab-proven on 13-3/8″ and 7 5/8″ DINO VAM®.

Comparative rig test
A rig test was undertaken to compare the performance of API BTC and DINO VAM® connections in 13 3/8” 72# P110 pipes. Using the same rig and same crew, DINO VAM® rapidly demonstrated superior running operations versus the BTC. Thanks to its three-thread-per-inch design, which allows for faster make-up, and a thread design that avoids cross-threading, DINO VAM® significantly reduced running time and provided an efficiency gain of over 30%.
