Drill pipe
Drill pipe is the basic component of drill string. Its main function is to transmit torque and transport drilling fluid, and the wellbore is continuously deepened by the gradual lengthening of the drill pipe. Therefore, drill pipe occupies a very important position in oil drilling.
Drill pipe structure The drill pipe is made of seamless steel pipe, and the wall thickness is generally 9-11mm; it is composed of two parts: the drill pipe body and the drill pipe joint. The pipe body and the joint are butt welded together by friction welding.
Weighted drill pipe
Weighted drill pipe: For components on the drill string, the weight per unit length of the weighted drill pipe is moderate. This drill pipe is a heavy wall body with extended joints.
The outer diameter of the weighted drill pipe is similar to that of the standard drill pipe to facilitate the operation of the drilling rig. The characteristic of weighted drill pipe is that it can bear the pressure like a drill collar. A unique feature of weighted drill pipe is the wear band in the center of the drill pipe. The wear belt can act as a stabilizer, improve the rigidity of the weighted drill pipe in the drill string, and reduce the well deviation
The weighted drill pipe is similar to the oil drill pipe, and it is also a hollow steel column with a length of about 10 meters. However, the weight of a single piece is heavier than that of the oil drill pipe, and the wall thickness is 2 to 3 times that of the drill pipe. The weighted drill pipe is connected between the drill pipe and the drill collar. It can also replace the role of part of the drill collar, but its suspension is simple, the tripping and tripping operation is convenient, and the tripping and tripping time can be saved.
