Improve drill string perform-ance with the recommended use of Heavy weight drill pipe
Heavy Weight Drill Pipe is the industry standard for an intermediate weight drill stem member and is available in standard, spiraled and non-magnetic designs making it useful in a number of applications. It has drill pipe dimensions for easier handling. Heavy weight drill pipe utilizes a unique centre upset or wear pad to increase tube life, reduce hole drag and differential sticking problems.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
- Extra-length tool joints provide ample space to recut the connections, reduce the wear rate on the OD and extend the service life.
- The centre upset protects the tube from OD wear by keeping the tube away from the hole wall, while at the same time reducing the risk of differential sticking.
- The API boreback box stress relief feature is standard for the box connection on 4" Heavy Weight Drill Pipe and larger, helping to extend the service life of the connection.
- Cold rolling the thread roots on all Heavy Weight Drill Pipe connections increases the connection’s ability to resist fatigue cracking.
- Heavy Weight Drill Pipe can be picked up with the drill pipe elevators, for fast efficient handling on the rig floor.

OPTIONAL FEATURES:
Hardbanding placed on the tool joints and center wear pad will increase abrasion resistance and extended service life.
- The API stress-relief groove feature on the pin connection for sizes 4" and larger.
APPLICATIONS:
Directional Drilling:
- An extended reach, horizontal and conventional directional well designs.
- Improves directional control by reducing torque and drag.
- The centre upset helps reduce the risk of differential sticking.
Vertical Drilling:
- Use as an active weight-on-bit member.
- Heavy Weight Drill Pipe can be used to provide a portion of the anticipated drilling weight when using soft formation PDC rock bits.
Note: Heavy Weight Drill Pipe should not be used as bit weight in vertical holes larger than those listed in the table below.
