TAM introduces V0-rated cementing port collar
TAM International, an independent oilfield services company providing inflatable and swellable packers, has introduced a new V0-rated cementing port collar to complement their extensive cement integrity product line.
Proven to ensure casing integrity, the metal-to-metal (MTM) design port collar meets the industry’s latest and most rigorous standard, ISO 14998 V0, Annex A and Annex D, which is confirmed gas-tight at 300°F (150°C).
Offering life-of-well reliability, the MTM cementing port collar simplifies rig operations because no drill out is required after cementing. Its customizable features address most critical well conditions, including high torque, drilldown, and deepwater applications.
“The non-elastomeric sealing system provides a robust, gas-tight, and chemical-resistant alternative, with enhanced environmental reliability,” said Tim Davis, TAM’s technology director.
TAM’s casing annulus packer can be integrated with the new port collar to provide the industry’s first open hole packer combined with a V0 port collar.
“This design ensures cement is placed where it needs to be in the event of losses in the annular space,” said Davis.

TAM Cementing Port Collar Portfolio
Port Collars, run with or without Casing Annulus Packers (CAPs), enable high-quality second-stage cementing operations without the need to drill out plugs and/or seats. Depending on wellbore size and operational requirements, a variety of configurations are available, including:
1.rotational or reciprocal actuation
2.multi-functioning or locking sleeve
3.elastomeric or premium metal-to-metal sealing elements
4.manufactured to meet metallurgy and premium connection requirements with full bore ID
5.sizes 4-1/2 in. to 22 in.
6.available to ISO 14998 V0 standards (see opposite side)
TAM HATCH Packers
The HATCH Packer features a patented combination of the TAMCAP and TAM Port Collar with an industry-exclusive metal-to-metal (MTM) seal in the closing valve. The HATCH Packer and MTM seals are the optimum solution for premium production casing strings. The HATCH Packer provides 100% assurance that the valve system is isolated from any wellbore pressures after closure of the Port Collar and stage cementing are complete. No cement is left in the casing, leaving the operator an unrestricted, full bore ID with no drill out required. Construction costs can be cut by eliminating the need for intermediate casing strings. Available in sizes 7 in. and larger.
