PREFACE
The JFEBEAR connection has been developed and patented by JFE STEEL
CORPORATION.

Connections are manufactured by JFE STEEL CORPORATION or its
authorized MANUFACTURING LICENSEES.

The recommendations and illustrations in this document were developed
from the offshore and onshore experience of running crews and advice
received from Operators and their contractors.

Please be aware of the useful guidelines and recommendations in this
document and apply them when necessary.

1 PREPARATIONS BEFORE RUNNING
1.1 Handle Pipes Carefully
Use pipe body slings in preference to end hooks.
End hooks are only permissible with the correct type of thread
protector.
1.2 Racking Pipe
Rack pipe in level horizontal layers, at least 8" (200mm) above the
ground surface.
Separate layers of pipe with at least three wooden slats placed
perpendicular to pipe at each end and in the middle. Slats should
at least be 4" x 2" (100mm x 50mm).
Do not stack pipe more than 7' (2.1meters) high.
Take care not to crush bottom layers of pipe and ENSURE RACK
IS SAFELY SECURED.
1.3 Segregate Unusable Pipe
Remove rust, scale, dirt and debris from inside and outside
surfaces.
Remove any dented, bent or otherwise damaged pipe for possible
repair.
1.4 Clean and Inspect Connections
Remove all lubricants or compound with liquid solvents (not diesel
fuel)
Use non-metallic brushes to remove adhered solids.
Segregate all rejected thread/seals/tubes.
Minor damage on pin & box connection may be repaired in
accordance with JFEBEAR-TP-M-101, prior to running.
THOROUGHLY DRY THREADS AND SEAL SURFACES.
If pipe is to be moved from rig site back into storage then re-apply
an acceptable thread compound thinly and evenly on all thread
and seal surfaces. Use a clean uncontaminated compound and
apply with a clean non-metallic brush. Avoid excessive amounts of
thread compound.
For long term storage, use a suitable storage compound such as
Kendex for both pins and boxes.

Note: API thread compounds may not be suitable due to "drying out"
and reduced corrosion resistance.
Replace CLEAN AND DRY pin thread protectors.
Note: Application of thread or storage-compound to connection
seals and thread surfaces is recommended if there are any
significant delays in pipe running. Clean and dry thread protectors
should also be re-fitted.

1.5 Make-up Loss
The effective length of each tube is the overall length minus the
make-up loss.
The make-up loss is the pin length listed in the Table 1.

2 THREAD PROTECTORS
2.1 Always Protect Threads and Seals
Ensure approved thread protectors are installed at the mill and at
the storage point.
Use only clean and undamaged protectors.
Use only clean non-contaminated thread or storage compound
applied thinly and evenly over entire thread/seal area.
Assemble protector to hand tight position.
Insert suitable torque bar in the grooves provided and tighten.
Note: Do not hammer bar or protector to tighten.
2.2 Protector Selection (Refer to JFEBEAR-TP-N-101)
Approved protectors may be of metal or molded plastic
construction.
Premium connections require adequate protection in the threaded
area, particularly at the extremity of the pin seal. A minimum of
3/4" (19mm) is recommended between the bottom of the torque
bar groove and the position of the pin seal extremity when the
protector is fully tightened.
Protectors should be manufactured to allow an even thickness of
thread compound to cover threads and seal when in the fully
made-up position.
Protectors should be manufactured for optimum performance in a
temperature range of -40F to +110F (-40C to +45C).

3 RUNNING
3.1 Check Torque Values
ALWAYS check with Manufacturers Authorized Representative to
determine the latest recommended make-up torque values for the
JFEBEAR connection.
Note: Recommended maximum calibration interval for all Make up
equipment should be no more than 6 months.

3.2 Place Pipe on Racks (see also section 1.1 and 1.2)
Segregate pipe that has been damaged or pipe which is not fit for
purpose.
Unless previously done, clean and inspect all connections per
guidelines stated in section 1.4.
When ready to commence running, ensure clean and dry pin
thread protectors are in place to protect threads and seals while
pipe is being lifted through V door.

3.3 Handling Pipes
Handle pipes as described in section 1.1.
Use only clean and undamaged handling plugs. Make-up hand
tight only. Do not use a cheater bar.
With collar or slip type elevators, ensure that elevator diameters
are compatible with coupling and pipe body diameters.

If drifting is required, carefully remove closed end thread protector,
replace with a clean open end thread protector and drift tube with
non-metallic Teflon/Nylon type "rabbit" of correct drift diameter.
(Metal drifts are not recommended unless the ends are tapered
sufficiently to avoid torque shoulder contact.)
Lift pipe to vertical pre-stab position above the rotary table.
Remove pin thread protector and apply clean uncontaminated
approved thread compound with friction factor of 1.0. Use non-
metallic brush. If compound friction factor is not equal to 1.0, as is
often the case with the environmentally friendly compounds, refer
to Manufacturers Authorized Representative for revised torque
figures.
Note: Hold pipe away from open coupling to avoid debris
contamination of open box.

3.4 Coupling Threads and Seals
Ensure Coupling thread and seal areas are covered with a light
coat of recommended thread compound.
Prior to stabbing, fit a clean properly sized STABBING GUIDE over
the coupling and securely fasten.
Align the pipe and carefully lower pin through the stabbing guide
into the coupling.
Rotate tube BY HAND OR WITH STRAP WRENCH until threads
are fully engaged to the hand tight position.
With power tongs rotate tube until seal engagement and desired
final torque is achieved. Final make-up torque should not exceed
6 RPM.
(COMPUTER CONTROLLED MAKE-UP TORQUE TURN
EQUIPMENT IS RECOMMENDED)

3.5 Make-up Acceptance and Rejection
For an acceptable make-up both the total torque and shoulder
torque requirements must be satisfied following guideline.
Final torque shall be meet between specified minimum torque
and maximum torque.
Shoulder torque shall not be exceeded specified maximum
shoulder torque.
Connections which do not meet the make-up requirements should
be broken out and should be inspected in accordance with
JFEBEAR-TP-M-101 prior to re-makeup.

3.6 Lowering Tubing String
Lower entire tubing string by one joint and proceed to next
connection. For subsequent connections follow make-up
procedures 3.1 through 3.5.

4. BREAK-OUT AND LAY DOWN PROCEDURES
4.1 Pulling of Pipe
Pulling of pipe should be conducted with care to avoid damage to
threads and seal areas.
Ensure that proper alignment of blocks over the well is achieved
and that derrick-man is aligning each joint over the well during
breakout. Misalignment may result in connection thread galling.
Take care not to over rotate during back-out so pin connection
does not "drop" back into coupling.
Apply tension to the joint (or stand) being backed out. The applied
load should approximately equal the weight of the joint. Use a
weight compensator where possible.
During stabbing, use a stabbing guide to avoid pin threads or seals
striking the coupling.
Re-apply both pin and coupling thread protectors immediately after
pin/coupling disengagement.
Pulling in singles is recommended.
If "stood back" in the derrick, ensure the pin end protectors are
fitted and "stand" is seated on a wooden or similar non-metallic
surface.

4.2 Rotation of Connection
Place power tong on the top joint with the back-up tong on lower
half of coupling to avoid unnecessary gripping pressure on the
connection end to be broken-out.
Set tong rotation for break-out and ensure single joint or stand
weight is taken up by elevators. Break-out the connection with
power tongs, approximately 1 turn for tubing and 2 turns for casing.
After breakout, remove power tongs and rotate connection out by
hand or strap wrench.
Place an appropriately sized STABBING GUIDE over the coupling
and lift top joint (stand) clear of coupling and stabbing guide.
Install a CLEAN pin protector and either lay the joint down or stand
into derrick on a clean non-metallic surface. If laying down pipe
onto pipe deck use slats.
Install a CLEAN coupling protector into the coupling.
Lift string to next breakout joint and repeat steps as per section 4.2.
5. RE-RUNNING JFEBEAR CONNECTIONS
Instructions for re-running joints are exactly same as for new
connections and the same make-up torque values are applied.
Prior to re-running each connection should be inspected in
accordance with JFEBEAR-TP-M-101.

6. HIGH CHROME TUBULAR STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS
6.1 Removing Tubular Goods
Where possible, remove the tubular goods from their export
packing IMMEDIATELY upon receipt and store them indoors in a
dry atmosphere.
6.2 Inspect Tubulars Periodically
Inspect the tubular periodically, i.e., every one to three months
depending on atmospheric conditions. Routine inspection should
include:
O.D. check for discoloring or pitting
I.D. check for discoloring or pitting
Remove thread protectors and check condition of connections and
storage compound.
Replace connection storage compound as required. Apply evenly
to thread and seal areas.

6.3 For Long Term Storage
For periods of storage longer than two months a connection
storage compound shall be used.

Note: API THREAD COMPOUNDS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED FOR
USE AS A LONG TERM STORAGE COMPOUNDS.
6.4 Out Door Storage
If out door storage is the only option, the following additional
procedures are recommended.
Protect from rain and spray with tarpaulins or plastic covering.
Sweating / condensation may occur if there is insufficient air
circulation.
Avoid stagnant water or moisture. Every thirty days, roll tubes to
ensure that no moisture remains trapped between stripping and
pipe OD. This also allows any trapped moisture to dry. It is
recommended to use plastic stripping or zinc paint on wood strips
to avoid direct contact between tubulars and wood.
Store tubular with one end elevated to allow condensation or other
trapped water to drain from tube I.D.
6.5 Warning Plate
Refer to the "WARNING PLATE" attached to the export package
for additional information.
6.6 Storage Following Pulling (Short Term or Long Term)
Special attention must be given to high chrome steel products
when removed from well due to the materials pitting susceptibility
caused by Chlorides in an oxygen rich environment.
Immediately upon removing tubulars from well, they should be
flushed with fresh water and stored with one end elevated, to allow
condensation or other trapped water to drain from tube I.D.

After drainage is completed the connections should be cleaned,
dried and inspected. If repairs are required it should be performed
in conjunction with JFEBEAR-TP-M-101. Repaired connections
should be protected using appropriate storage compound. Re-fit
clean and dry thread protectors.

Note: Above steps are applicable if pipe is to be re-run within very
short period of time, such as 12 ~ 72 hours.

For longer periods (1 week to 4 weeks), the same applies with the
exception that water soluble corrosion inhibitor for Brine Solutions
should be sprayed on O.D. & I.D. of pipe after drainage is complete.
Note: One such product is named: Aqua-Cure 690 and is supplied
by Oil Center Research.
For longer term storage greater than 1 month, it is recommended
to follow the same process with the exception that external pipe
coating, namely clear varnish and internal pipe coating, namely
mineral oil should be applied.

7. HIGH CHROME STEEL SPECIAL HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
Handle joints one at a time using nylon slings.
Avoid joints contacting each other, i.e. "banging together" in order to
prevent local surface hardened spots which may lead to corrosion.
Ensure pipe racks and pick-up/lay-down equipment is sufficiently padded
to help prevent unnecessary contact between joints and other steel
components.

8. HIGH CHROME STEEL RUNNING PROCEDURES
8.1 Running of High Chrome Steel JFEBEAR Connections
Running of high chrome steel with JFEBEAR connections should
be handled with the following extra precautions taken.
Single joint compensators are recommended.
Low stress dot dies or other non-marking systems in tongs,
elevators and slips are the preferred method. Non-directional, fine
tooth, low stress dies with 360 contacts are also acceptable.
Rotate tube by hand with strap wrench until threads are fully
engaged. With power tongs, rotate tube to final torque not
exceeding 6 rpm.
9. HIGH CHROME STEEL RE-RUNNING
Please refer to Running Instructions provided earlier in this document.

10. SPECIAL RECOMMENDATION FOR SOUR SERVICE (H
2
S)
10.1 Hard Spots
NEVER use pipe on which hard spots have developed from the
use of direct flame heating, welding or impact damage.
10.2 Avoid Damage
Avoid damage which may result in residual stress to effected area.
For that reason, DO NOT:
Cold-straighten even slightly-deformed pipe.
Use pipe or couplings showing sharp edged slip or tong marks.
Hammer pipe or couplings.
Compress or deform pipe in the slips.
Use pipe exhibiting excessive out of roundness.
Exceed recommended make-up torque.
Apply loads in excess of performance capabilities.
Permit excessive bending of the string when the load is close to
elastic limit of the material.
Improvise by using items of different steel strength and quality from
those programmed.
