Paper: A new tool for the precise make up of the nasty two element sucker rod connection

The sucker rod connection poses several problems to rig crews as well as the oil companies. The first issue the crews have to deal with is the face that there are two elements to a rod connection: The lower and the upper rod interfaces. Making up both elements to precise circumferential displacements at the same time is almost impossible.
This paper will deal with these issues and will illustrate a new tool that solves the makeup problems and at the same time, gives the crews a method to remove or replace a coupling. The tool can be instructed to make up either both or only one element of the connection to the precise desired CD. The two CD's are measured independently.
