Abstract

See full text

A method for forming an elongated tubular member for use with hydrocarbon production includes forming a blank member of a steel material having an outer diameter equal to a first outer diameter. The blank member is mounted on a rotating mandrel. A tubular member is formed by engaging a rotary disk with an outer surface of the blank member and moving the rotary disk in a first axial direction, lengthening the blank member in a second axial direction and reducing the outer diameter of the blank member until the outer diameter of a central portion of the blank member is equal to a second outer diameter and the outer diameter of end portions of the blank member is equal to a third outer diameter. The tubular member is heat treated to reduce a residual stress. A mechanical connection is formed in each of the end portions.
