Results of Performance Tests Performed on the John Watts Casing Connection on 7" Pipe
No full textStress Engineering Services (SES) was contracted by Mr. John Watts to test his threaded connection developed for oilfield oil and gas service. This particular test required the application of a variety of loads including axial tension and compression, internal pressure (gas), external pressure (water), bending and both low and elevated temperature. These loads were used to determine the sealing and structural limits of the connection. The connection design tested had tapered threads with 10 threads per inch. A square thread form and a round thread form were tested. The square thread form had a 2{sup o} load flank and 15{sup o} stab flank. The round thread had a 0{sup o} load flank and 20{sup o} stab flank. Most of the testing was performed on the round thread form. Both a coupled connection design and an integral connection design were tested. The coupling was a pin by pin (male) thread, with the pipe having a box (female) thread. Both designs have outside and inside diameters that are flush with the pipe body. Both designs also contain a small external shoulder. The test procedure selected for this evaluation was the newly written ISO 13679 procedure for full scale testing of casing and tubing connections. The ISO procedure requires a variety of tests that includes makeup/breakout testing, internal gas sealability/external water sealability testing with axial tension, axial compression, bending, internal gas thermal cycle tests and limit load (failure) tests. This test was performed with four coupled samples and included most of these loads. Two integral samples were also included for limit load testing ISO makeup/breakout tests are divided into three types--initial makeup, IML1, repeated makeup within the same sample, MBL, and repeated makeup using several samples called round robin, RR. IMU and MBL were performed in this project. The ISO sealing and structural procedure is divided into four primary tests and identified as Series A, B, C and Limit Load (failure). Series A and B test to 95% actual yield of the pipe and Series C uses 90% of actual yield. Samples 1 and 3 were tested to Series A and the loads are shown in Figure 1. For these samples, the axial compression was limited to 75% pipe body yield, which was set by Mr. Watts at the beginning of the test. Samples 2 and 4 were tested to Series B with loads shown in Figure 2. This series included 20 degrees per 100 feet bending but no external pressure. Due to premature leaks, no samples were subjected to Series C which included mechanical and thermal cycles. Samples 5 and 6 were tested to failure. The project started with the selection and purchase of a popular size of oilfield pipe, which was 7-inch OD, 32 pound per foot, P-110 casing. While the connections were being threaded, material tensile tests were performed to get the actual strength of the 7-inch pipe. The first samples contained a square thread form. Excessive galling was experienced during the first series of makeup/breakout tests and Mr. Watts decided to change the thread form and remachine the samples. The second samples had a round thread form and performed very well in the makeup/breakout tests. Basically no galling occurred of any consequence. Samples 1 and 3 were to be tested with external water (ISO Series A) while samples 2 and 4 were to be tested with bending (ISO Series B, no external pressure). Testing of all four samples started with tension and internal gas pressure. During this initial pressure testing, samples 1, 3 and 4 developed leaks and the test was stopped before any external pressure or bending was applied. Sample 2 successfully tested to ISO Load Point 5 which included bending before developing a leak. Figure 3 shows the loads at which the samples leaked and the relative pipe body performance capability. Sample 1 and end A of sample 2 held a high pressure while samples 3, 4 and end B of sample 2 leaked at relatively low pressures. All of these leaks were with nitrogen gas pressure. After reviewing the results, it was believed that several conditions may have contributed to the premature leaks: The BOL 2000 thread lubricant contains solid particles that are larger than the solid particles in API 5A2 compound. Possibly the large particles prevented tight thread contact necessary for gas leak tightness. The BOL 2000 lubricant may have caused or at least contributed to the yielding of the pin end during makeup. Pin inward deformation was found in some pins subsequent to testing and breakout. Excessive yielding of the pin or box will contribute to poor thread contact and leakage. The connections were made up to full or near full shoulder contact. This causes the end of the pin to be stressed near the yield strength. This along with the interference caused by the thread compound may cause excessive pin hoop stresses and yielding which in turn gives relatively loose thread contact. This behavior is present when repeated makeup and breakout occurs

Measurements. TL = 3.6–3.8 mm (holotype 3.8 mm); TL-H = 3.3–3.5mm (holotype 3.5 mm); MW = 1.95–2.05 mm (holotype 2.0 mm).</p> <p> <b>Colour</b>. Upper side yellowish-brown; portions of elytron and sutural lines a bit darker, sutural lines broadly bordered with broad pale strip, apical portions lighter (Fig. 2). Venter yellowish, including pronotum, epipleuron, metaventrite, metacoxal plate, prosternal process, legs and abdominal sternites. All antennomeres completely pale yellowish.</p> <p> <b>Sculpture</b>. Dorsal surface strongly, densely and evenly punctured throughout; those on head weaker and sparser, a little smaller than eye facet. Pronotum and elytron with narrow but well marked lateral beading. Microreticulation on head and pronotum fine, moderately impressed, on elytron very fine and almost unvisible. Ventral surface; punctures very dense, microreticulation similar to that on elytron. Prosternal process narrowly lanceolate, rounded tip, almost keeled in cross section, slightly narrowed between procoxae. Metacoxal lines raised, moderately separated, subparallel in posterior half, diverging to about twice their narrowest width in anterior half.</p> <p> <b>Male</b>. Protarsi moderately expanded, robust; single proclaw thickened, strongly bent near base, continously narrowing to sharp point at apex, with slightly curved large tooth at base (Fig. 5). Mesotibia robust, broadly but weakly indented on inner side in middle. Seta tufts on mesotrochanters somewhat thicker than on female. Median lobe of aedeagus in lateral view rather thin, elongated, in ventral view symmetric tapering towards tip (Fig. 4).</p> <p> <b>Female</b>. Pro- and mesotarsi narrower than in males, not expanded. Proclaws simple. Mesotibia narrow.</p> <p> <b>Affinities</b>. The new species appears closest to <i>A. bakewellii</i>, <i>A. jenniferae</i> and <i>A. simplex</i>. From <i>A. bakewellii</i> (TL = 3.1–3.45 mm) (Figs 1, 3) it differs by its larger size, less marked and more diffuse elytral colour pattern, the more parallel sided and elongated form of the median lobe, and the robust and well developed spine at the base of the claw on the male protarsi (compare Watts 1978: 65 and Watts 1997: 39). From the smaller <i>A. jenniferae</i> (TL = 3.4–3.6 mm) it can be distinguished by its yellowish tarsi (totally black in <i>A. jenniferae</i>), and the form of the aedeagus which is slender and tapering to the tip in <i>A. kalbarriensis</i> <b>sp.n.</b>. From the slightly smaller (TL = 3.5–3.7 mm) <i>A. simplex</i> Watts, 1978 from Queensland, <i>A. kalbarriensis</i> <b>sp.n.</b> can be well separated by its more elongated median lobe of aedeagus, which is more tapered at the tip, and its larger and more robust spine at the base of the claw on the male protarsi as well as a stronger dorsal colour pattern which is virtually absent in <i>A. simplex</i> (compare Watts 1978: 65 and Watts 1997: 39). In the key given in Watts 1997 the species will run to couplet 7.</p> <p> <b>Distribution</b>. Western Australia, Murchison District.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
