Product Description
Oil tubing pipe is a critical component in oil and gas well completion. After drilling is finished and the well is cased, tubing is run inside the casing to serve as the conduit that transports crude oil and natural gas from the reservoir to the surface. Tubing must withstand the pressures generated during production, as well as tensile loads, corrosive fluids, and temperature extremes. Unlike casing — which stabilizes the wellbore — tubing is the actual artery through which hydrocarbons flow to surface facilities for processing.
Tubing Classification by Connection Type
API 5CT tubing is classified into three main connection types:
|
Type |
Full Name |
Description |
|
NU |
Non-upset tubing |
The pipe ends are not thickened; threads are cut directly into the pipe body. Lower cost, suitable for less demanding applications. |
|
EU |
External upset tubing |
The pipe ends are thickened (upset) externally before threading, providing greater joint strength. Most common for production tubing. |
|
IJ |
Integral joint tubing |
The box threads are cut directly into the pipe body without a separate coupling. Provides maximum clearance for tight-hole applications. |

|
13Cr-80/110 |
80,000 / 110,000 |
Martensitic stainless steel with excellent CO₂ corrosion resistance. Ideal for sweet (CO₂) environments and moderate sour service up to elevated temperatures. |
|
28Cr-80/110 |
80,000 / 110,000 |
High-chromium corrosion-resistant alloy for extreme sweet and sour environments. Provides superior resistance to both CO₂ and H₂S corrosion. |

Key benefits of premium connections:
Metal-to-metal seal for superior gas tightness
Reverse angle torque shoulder for precise make-up control
100% pipe body compression rating on select designs
ISO 13679 CAL-IV qualification for critical service
Interchangeability between VAM® families

How to Select the Right Tubing?
Selecting the right tubing involves matching well conditions to steel grade and connection type:
Depth & Pressure – Deeper wells and higher pressures require higher strength grades (P110, V150).
Corrosive Environment – H₂S (sour) requires C90, T95, or L80; CO₂ (sweet) requires 13Cr or 28Cr stainless grades.
Connection Integrity – Standard API threads (EUE, NUE) are economical; premium connections (VAM TOP, NEW VAM) offer superior gas sealing for HP/HT wells.
Well Type – Conventional vertical wells may use NU; deviated or deep wells typically require EU or premium connections.
