Supply Chain — Vertical integration
VAM Drilling is truly vertically integrated,

providing drillstem products from the mill to the
well. VAM Drilling, through parent company V&M
Tubes, has its own mills, ensuring continuous
supply of raw materials and mitigation of costs.
VAM Drilling receives green tubes from V&M

Tubes’ mills in Saint-Saulve, France; Mülheim,
Germany; and Belo Horizonte, Brazil and from
other selected steel sources. Tubes are upset and
heat-treated to the required specifications at VAM
Drilling’s manufacturing plants in Europe and
the United States. Tool joint forgings are supplied
by VAM Drilling France and United States
producers, and are machined and phosphated
prior to friction welding in VAM Drilling plants in
Houston and Aulnoye, France.
After the tubes have been upset, heat-treated

and welded to the tool joint, the finished product
is heat-treated, inspected and coated internally
and externally before shipment. Manufacturing
includes both API and high performance
products, such as VAM Drilling’s proprietary
connections VAM EIS® and VAM Express™; H2S-
resistant materials; or high strength steel grades.
For bottomhole assembly (BHA) components,

VAM Drilling’s plant in Cosne-sur-Loire, France,
manufactures its patented Hydroclean™ product

Drill Pipe — Designed to go deep
VAM Drilling engineers and metallurgists

– using leading edge laboratory and

products for the oil and gas industry. In
particular, VAM Drilling drill pipe features
specially engineered materials.
All standard API grades (E-75, X-95, G-105,

and S-135) and special sour service grades,
such as VM-95 DP SS and VM-105 DP SS, are
manufactured in range 2 and range 3 lengths
and are available in a variety of pipe sizes.
Sour service drilling is one of VAM Drilling’s
specialties. V&M sour service proprietary
grades are the result of years of research and
development.
VAM Drilling is increasingly supplying top-

of-the-range grades such as VM-150 to meet
the performance and economic demands
associated with ever more challenging projects,
such as deep offshore or ultra-deep drilling.

Slip & Elevator Recesses
VAM Drilling offers optional slip and elevator

recesses to improve handling efficiency and
safety. Slip and elevator recesses are machined
in accordance with API standard RP7G.
The upper radius of the elevator recess is cold-

rolled to increase product life. Slip and elevator
recesses can be used together or separately.
Special drill pipe elevator designs can be
supplied for automated handling operations to
decrease non-productive time.

Safety Valves
VAM Drilling is a major manufacturer of

drilling safety valves, including Kelly valves,
KC4S retrievable drop-in check valves and inside BOP
valves. Each of these valves is available in three
different versions:
• Standard. Suitable for normal drilling

conditions. The valve body is made of AISI
4145H-modified alloy steel, heat-treated to 285-
341 Brinell hardness and a minimum impact
strength value of 42J as per ASTM 370 Charpy
V-Notch, at -10°C. Inner surfaces of bodies are
treated to enhance mud corrosion resistance
and maintenance operations.
• H2S Trim. This version has been designed for

low H2S concentration. Internal parts are made
of corrosion-resistant materials matching the
NACE MR0175 standard, fitted in a standard
body.
• NACE Version. The NACE version fully

meets the NACE MR0175 standard to resist
higher H2S concentration. The body is made of
UNS S17400, heat-treated to meet both NACE
standard and API Spec 7 (latest editions).
