 “Both new connections are based on field-proven TenarisHydril technologies that enjoy extensive track records,” said Julie Mathis, Technical Sales Manager for the US. In the case of the Wedge 623™ Dopeless® connection, we were able to respond to Shell’s technical requirements with a customized product.”
