DINO VAM
Fast-running intermediate casing
DINO VAM offers a solution to the typical cross-threading problems associated to API-Buttress on intermediate casing applications. It allows safer, quicker and more efficient operations compared to unreliable and limited API-Buttress. DINO VAM provides your wells with excellent structural and tightness performances.

DINO VAM
“We performed a rig-test with both API BTC and DINO VAM connections in 13 3/8” 72# P110 pipes. Using the same rig and same crew, DINO VAM rapidly shown us its superior performances on running operations versus the BTC: no cross-threading and a significantly reduced make-up time lead us to an efficiency gain over 30%."
