TSC™
WHEN VERSATILITY MATTERS
The TSC™ (Texas Steel Compatible) connection series builds on a proven connection already trusted in the industry—now manufactured by TSC™ using unmatched raw-material quality and advanced processing. This elevated production standard delivers stronger, more consistent performance, giving operators a connection that not only fits their existing programs but performs better because it’s built the TSC way. Its full compatibility ensures seamless integration without disrupting established drilling practices or inventory strategies.
SLIM-HOLE DESIGN
Slim-hole thread connections are designed to deliver higher torque within a reduced diameter. This connection is more than a scaled-down version of a standard connection. It provides full-scale performance in constrained wellbores, enabling smaller hole sizes that lower fluid volumes and reduce casing requirements. Slim-hole connections make these efficiencies possible without compromising structural integrity.
SEAMLESS INTEGRATION
One of the defining advantages of the TSC™ Connection is its full compatibility with other second-generation rotary-shoulder connections on the market. Independently tested and verified, this compatibility gives operators the freedom to integrate TSC’s unmatched manufacturing quality and expansive licensee network into their existing string design without reengineering their drilling program. The result is operational flexibility, reduced planning friction, and confidence that every connection will perform as expected.
- Independently verified and tested to be fully compatible with other 2nd gen rotary-shoulder connections.
- Higher torque than standard API connections.
- Slim-hole design.
