    After stabbing the stabber must maintain the pipe in a vertical position.

    For bigger casing thread engagement is achieved by using the make-up tong. To
    avoid excessive torque during thread engagement the anchor cable of the tong
    should be load free.

    Vallourec & Mannesmann strongly recommend using a torque monitoring system.

    Big Omega connections must be made up with a certain torque value

    • A triangle is stencilled on each thread. A long white line on the pipe –end site,
    marks the location.

    • To find the proper torque at least 10 power make ups to the base of this triangle
    should be carried out. The average torque value of these make ups is the proper
    torque to run the total casing string.

    • Power make-up procedure should not be interrupted until the proper torque
    value is reached.

    • Every connection should be checked for correct power make-up position. The
    coupling status after power make-up must be within the tolerance area of 0.433”
    (11mm) to 0.748” (19mm) referred to the apex of triangle.
