DESCRIPTION

BESTOLIFE® 3010® NM Special is a non metallic, non conductive thread compound ideal for all rotaryshouldered connections in any drilling location.

APPLICATIONS

Non metallic compound for all drill-string connections (drill pipe/tool joints/drill collars) plus premium metal-to-metal seal casing and tubing connections.

TECHNICAL DATA

BESTOLIFE® 3010® NM Special is the third generation of the highly successful BESTOLIFE® 3000® family of compounds designed and developed to address the environmental concerns related to the use of thread compounds for rotary-shouldered connections in ecologically sensitive areas of the world such as the North Sea, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, the South Atlantic, Alaska, and Sakhalin Island. BESTOLIFE® 3010® NM Special combines the excellent low temperature application properties of BESTOLIFE® 3010® Ultra with superior downhole galling resistance and enhanced ecotoxicological properties to provide the ideal drillstring solution for all rotary-shouldered connections applications (drill pipe/tool joints/drill collars), irrespective of offshore drilling location. It is also suitable for use on metal-to-metal seal casing and tubing connections.

Applies easily to cold wet connections exposed to seawater in ambient temperatures as low as -49º F I -45ºC and yet provides optimum protection in the deepest, hottest holes. Will provide lubrication and protection to 400ºF/204ºC and the solids will protect to 1000ºF/538ºC.
Has the ability to prevent galling of contact surfaces (including non-magnetic materials) under high bearing loads and to form a continuous gasket between the shoulders of a rotary connection during make-up. This is achieved through the innovative combination of a variety of amorphous and synthetic graphite based materials, as first used in 3000®, interacting to form a seal when compressed between the shoulders during makeup to provide performance properties equal to the very best heavy metal compounds. This gasket-like seal prevents connection washout, even under high internal fluid pressures and the combined loading of directional drilling, to provide maximum protection in the toughest conditions.
Meets the performance requirements of many proprietary, metal-to-metal seal casing and tubing connections.
Approved running compound for VAM® connections. For more details, recommendations per type of connection, material and conditions of use, please refer to the VAM® recommended compound chart: http://www.vamservices.com/library/files/Table of Running Compounds.pdf or liaise with your nearest VAM® contact.
Meets the current OSPAR Commission Harmonised Mandatory Control Scheme regulations for the protection of the marine environment of the North-East Atlantic/North Sea.
In November 2004 became the FIRST Category # 9 - Yellow Pipe Dope Registered in the Norwegian CHEMS Database for use offshore by Statoil ASA in the Barents Sea.
Subsequently registered in UK/Netherlands (DTI/CEFAS OCNS Category E/NL HMCS Prescreening Category: R) and Denmark (PR-No.1796806)
Contains biodegradable greases and synthetic lubricating fluids
