Abstract

See full text

A threaded oilfield tubular connection includes a box connector (12) having internal threads (16, 18) and a pin connector (14) having external threads (22, 24) for mating with the internal threads. Each of a box torque shoulder (20) and a pin torque shoulder (26) may be negative angle shoulders, and the thread flanks on the internal and external threads may also be negative angle load flanks. The connector substantially maintains a desired preload when dope is trapped between the threads during makeup. Another embodiment provides positive angle torque shoulders and positive angle load flanks.
