eXtreme® Torque Metal Seal (XT-M™)
eXtreme® Torque Metal Seal (XT-M™)
Rotary Shoulder Connections

The patented XT-M™ connection is the industry’s first gas-tight, pressure-rated rotary-shouldered connection. An eXtreme™ Torque connection with a radial metal-to-metal internal pressure seal, XT-M provides torsional strength comparable to XT® connections combined with a gas-tight pressure sealing capability.

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.
