Pup Joints

Pup Joints

Pup joint is a short casing or tubing used for handling production tubing assemblies and for spacing out full length tubing and casing strings. Pup joints are also known as saver sub, spacer and pup.Packaging of Pup Joint : The outer surface is coated with a protective layer (spray paint), marked according to API 5CT standards, and packed with metal steel strips. In order to meet the special requirements of customers, we can process oil pipe pup joints, thickened oil pipe pup joints, and casing pup joints of various sizes and lengths according to orders. Transformer oil pipe couplings, double male short circuits, high voltage short circuits, conversion joints, couplings, thread protectors.API oil casing steel grades are usually J55 oil casing, K55 oil casing, N80 oil casing, L80 oil casing, P110 oil casing, L80-9CR, P110-13CR, etc.Purpose of Pup Joint: Used to support the well wall and protect the oil pipe from being damaged by external forces.Buckle type of Pup Joint : short round button (STC), long round button (LTC), ladder button (BTC)Adopted standard of Pup Joint: API 5CT

Types of Pup Joints

API Tubing Pup Joints

Unlike casing pup joint, tubing pup joint enable precise adjustment of production tubing strings. Their application focuses on adjusting fluid flow properties rather than protecting the oil and tubing joints allow equipment such as gas lift mandrels or packers to be lowered into pre-planned well locations. Minor length adjustments help assemble tubing of optimal size. Extenders can also fill gaps by removing damaged joints. Corrosion-resistant alloys such as J55S and [80T are suitable for tubing joint manufacturing. Strong flush connections prevent tubing from sticking while running in the well. High-quality seals and precision threads maintain the integrity of critical production tubing.

Premium Tubing Pup Joints
Seamless pup joints with premium connections are available in API and exotic alloy grades. Premium ends are threaded by the manufacturer or authorized licensee.

Casing Pup Joints
Any length, weight, and grade are available upon request.Casing pup joint is designed and manufactured according to API 5CT standard and is used to adjust casing height. It is made of seamless steel with material grades including J55, K55, N80, L80 and P110, and sizes ranging from 4½ inches to 13⅜ inches. The thread type of the nipple is 8RD, 10RD or BTC, and the length is usually 2 feet to 12 feet, which can also be customized as needed. Both ends of the nipple are processed with male and female threads, with connectors and thread protectors. It has undergone multiple tests such as tensile and compressive load hydrostatic test, torque test and electromagnetic detection to ensure quality. The finished product is usually bundled with steel straps for easy transportation.

Perforated Pup Joints
Available with standard or special perforation spacings. Each joint has four rows of ⅜ inch holes drilled longitudinally along the tube. Optional patterns, hole size, and lengths furnished upon request.

The Production Process of Pup Joints

The main materials of oil casing short sections are J55, K55, N80, L80, C90, T95, and P110. Hot rolling process round tube billet → heating → perforation → three-roller oblique rolling, continuous rolling or extrusion → tube removal → sizing (or reducing diameter) → cooling → straightening → water pressure test (or flaw detection) → marking → storage; cold drawing (rolling) seamless steel tube round tube billet → heating → perforation → heading → annealing → pickling → oiling (copper plating) → multi-pass cold drawing (cold rolling) → billet tube → heat treatment → straightening → water pressure test (flaw detection) → marking → storage.

What ls A Pup Joint In Oil And Gas?

Pup joints play an important role in drilling, completion and workover operations. The three main applications are casing strings, production tubing and oil country tubular goods (OCTG). Understanding typical uses helps in making the right selection to optimize structure and function.In our oil production, the use of oil pipe pup joint is very, very important for oil. In fact, generally speaking, our pup joint is just a very important industrial pipeline connection accessory. Our oil short connection application is mainly applied to the casing inside the oil production equipment. Refining oil is not an easy task. There must be no mistakes in the mining process. Because oil work is different from other jobs, it is a job closely related to the lives of all of us, an extremely dangerous and difficult job. Once there is a problem in oil extraction, it is by no means a small problem. The economic loss is immeasurable. And our oil pipe pup joint is a small but important small accessory in oil extraction to prevent any economic loss.

Baowei-Steel offers high-quality pup joints designed to meet the rigorous demands of oil extraction. Our pup joints undergo hydrostatic testing, torque testing, and electromagnetic inspection to ensure reliability and durability. Whether used for casing strings or production tubing, Baowei-Steel's pup joints effectively prevent potential risks, avoiding costly losses. Choosing BAOWI Steel means securing your oil production with reliable support, ensuring safety and success.
