Double Shoulder Connections are particularly suited for difficult operations, such as extended and deep drilling, horizontal and slim hole wells. TPS-DS (Double Shoulder) offers many advantages compared to Standard API Drill Pipe connections.

Key facts and advantages:

Improved safety and performance
Increased torque capacity

Compatible with API connenctions
TPS-DS connections are fully interchangeable with API NC or FH connections. Please see below table for more information. Show table

Options

Hardbanding of Tool Joints: increases not only the operative lifetime of Tool Joints, but helps to minimize the effects of drillstring-induced friction and wear inside the casing while drilling as well;
Internal Coating; avoids corrosion and improves hydraulic efficiency inside the drillstring during mud circulation
RFID tags for single joint tracking
