HEAVY WEIGHT DRILL PIPES (HWDP)

COMMAND-SMFI's Heavy Weight Drill Pipe (HWDP) features a tool joint pin and box and a thick-walled tube with a raised central section for wellbore protection of the tube. The central section comes in various designs; slick, spiral, full spiral, or tri-spiral. HWDP can be manufactured as a welded assembly or machined integral from bars. HWDP in the bottom-hole assembly (BHA) provide a gradual transition between drill pipe and drill collars. Its main function is to transfer surface weight-on-bit (WOB) and pipe rotation to the drilling assembly. It also mitigates drill string fatigue and provides directional control of the BHA. In addition, Heavy Weight Drill Pipe can be used to push or force liners/screens down hole during drilling operations.

APPLICATIONS

Vertical Drilling:

  • Weight-on-bit and compressive load member
  • Transitional and fatigue resistant member
  • Replacement of drill collars

    • Directional, Horizontal, and Extended Reach Drilling:

  • Weight-on-bit and compressive load member
  • Differential sticking and drill string lock-up prevention
  • Directional control of BHA

    • Remedial Operations:

  • Provide the weight required for milling, under-reaming, and hole-opening operations
