The gas-tight seal is generated by radial interference, reducing the effects of tensile load. Capable of resisting high-pressure liquids and gas, the seal integrity is not affected by multiple trips.
All sizes of the XT-M connections are pressure rated at 15,000 psi internal and 10,000 psi external.
XT-M drill strings can be used for drill stem testing (DST) operations, high-pressure workover and completion operations, and underbalanced drilling operations. An XT-M drill string eliminates the need for a separate work string, which saves time, money and
rig space.
XT-M connections are not interchangeable with any other rotaryshouldered connection, including XT connections.
