Rattler® API Buttress Compatible
The Fermata® Rattler® sets a new standard for buttress compatible connections, delivering exceptional torque and sealability with its innovative barrel nose design. Its offset threads protect against damage and allow easy field repairs, while the larger torque stop and anti-rotation feature reduce downtime and uncertainty. Rattler® is optimized for fast makeup-8% quicker than typical API BTC connections-and remains fully compatible with API BTC float equipment. Built to save time and money, Rattler® is the reliable choice for demanding operations.
FT-6™ / FT-8™
Engineered for durability and reliability, the Fermata® FT-6™ / FT-8™ delivers peak performance in demanding applications. This robust two-step, integral upset connection features an optimized large torque shoulder for superior strength and a gas-tight metal-to-metal seal for dependable pressure integrity. It offers unmatched reliability and performance you can trust in critical operations.
Modern demands often call for deep strings with true flush clearance. Deeper strings ultimately result in higher tensile loads. Most flush joint connections are limited to 60-65% tension efficiency and come with a costly metal-to-metal seal. That’s where Ares™ differs. We built a true flush joint connection with 70% tension efficiency and no metal-to-metal seal to save you cost in applications where premium sealability is overkill. Ares™ was designed with economics in mind. It was built to deliver what’s needed, with no waste. Ares™ can be threaded efficiently on standard API 5CT ERW or seamless tubes, offering the ultimate supply chain flexibility. The PrecisionFit™ thread form has a negative load flank to prevent jumpout and stepped crests allow for deep stabbing and quick make-up. Internal and external shoulders provide substantial torque capacity for rotating the string in difficult wells. This connection was built to deliver the performance you need.
