Tenaris will offer a presentation at the World Geothermal Congress, to be held in Melbourne from April 19-24, with the objective of explaining how OCTG connection selection has evolved in the last decade to satisfy the need for more reliable and better sealing connections in challenging well conditions.

Mustaffa Merliahmad, Tenaris Asia Pacific Technical Sales Manager, will introduce the paper "Casing Connection Selection for Geothermal Applications Using New Input from HP/HT and Thermal Wells Testing Protocols" on Monday, April 20, at 1:20 pm, in room 216 of the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Center.

Merliahmad will highlight how connection selection has switched from field-proven technologies to fully qualified products. In addition, the specialist will present a study to correlate the geothermal casing needs in terms of thermal cycles/loads and newly available testing data to make more reliable designs.

He will also explain other important issues for today's oil and gas industry, such as the evolution of the main design concepts for premium connections, the applicable testing protocols used to validate premium connection performance within the elastic limit and in the plastic region due to thermal effect, and the characteristics of the testing methods currently in place, including the ISO 13679 and Thermal Well Casing Connection Evaluation Protocols (TWCCEP).
