Wedge - Model 461 -Threaded & Coupled Connections

The solution for shales
Further evolution of the original TenarisHydril Wedge technology, specifically designed for shales, Wedge 461™ enhances over-torque capacity of production strings. Maximizing the value for operators in the industrial drilling approach of unconventionals, this connection reduces running times and significantly decreases rejects and re-makeups. Supported by consistent relevant testing program. Wedge 461™ has built a solid track record in shales basins in record time, being recognized as an optimum solution for unconventionals.

• Sizes 4 1/z" -7 5/8"
• Easy make-up with no need of torque-turn charts
• Minimum rejects and remake-ups.
• High installation speed: 15 sec/jt spinning time
• Reduced coupling hoop stress, minimized risk of cracked coupling
• Maximum over torque capacity
• 100% tension and compression ratings
• Interchangeable with Wedge 441 ™ up to 7-
• Evaluated under Tenaris Testing Protocol for Multi-Fractured Horizontal Wells, aligned with API TR 5SF, to simulate fracking and production loads
