VAM^® Field Service

VAM® Field Service on the rig site

Our expert technicians work on your rig to ensure that the right products are used at running to protect the integrity of your well. With extensive training and experience, they can verify the condition of the products, validate all the make-up parameters and conditions, create conclusive make-up graphs and decide when a connection should be backed out, accepted or laid down. Thanks to their expertise, you can greatly reduce back out and reject rates, helping ensure your well is safe and the connection performance is optimal.

Embedded VAM® technician support

Embedded in your team, a VAM® technician is on-site to ensure things run smoothly. From supervising, reporting and trouble-shooting operations in real time to proving answers to day-to-day questions, having a VAM® technician can help avoid costly mistakes, improve the efficiency of your operations and lower your costs.

Bucking unit qualification and calibration

VFS technicians visit your completion workshop to verify the make-up process meets VAM® requirements for tolerances and processes. They train, assess and test personnel and calibrate the make-up machine to VAM® standards (TSLI 440) with a customized frequency using calibration bars. They also verify the accuracy of the machine’s torque measurement. As an independent third-party, they can confirm the correct calibration of your machines so you can be certain your workshop meets VAM® standards.

VFS Licensor Technical Representative (LTR)

Licensor Technical Representatives (LTR) receive critical parts that are manufactured at VAM® licensee machine shop locations. They offer reliable, local repair and manufacturing of VAM® Connections, even in the most remote locations. Specially trained and highly qualified VAM® Specialists inspect the products to ensure they are fully compliant with VAM® standards. Get the assurance that your locally-manufactured product is VAM®-certified.

Low-torque soft seal pressure test fixture rentals

All VAM® Field Service centers offer rental pressure test fixtures that meet all safety standards. They hold the required test pressure and are truly low-torque. Durable and robust, they can withstand numerous make and breaks. Their design prevents the change of the deformation of the VAM® connection after the test, and they will not damage the connection at make-up or break-out. No transfer of seal galling from the test fixture to the product. Test the integrity of your connections and ensure your operation is efficient.

Make-up graph review

Our team of experts across all time zones offers remote assistance with your make-up graph profiles. They have the knowledge and experience to identify possible root causes of bad profiles and propose corrective actions.
