Flush Joint Drill Pipe Designed for Mobile Drilling Rigs
Drill farther, faster. Extend your rigs drilling capacity - 30% to 50% or more - using the same portable rigs typically used to drill 500 4,000 feet. Alcoa Flush Joint Aluminum Drill Pipe makes it possible because of its inherent strength-to-weight ratio: Alcoa Aluminum Drill Pipe delivers the load capacity of steel with approximately half the weight. Alcoa Flush Joint Aluminum Drill Pipe is available in Range 1 and Range 2 lengths or custom lengths to suit customer specications. Increase rig capacity. Save on transportation costs. Designed for use with all standard mobile rigs, whether top head or rotary table drive, Alcoa Flush Joint Aluminum Drill Pipe can increase your rig capacity by as much as 30% in air drilling, and signicantly more in mud drilling. In addition, it reduces transportation costs, because a truck can handle up to 60% more aluminum pipe than steel. In fact, a 2,500 ft. string of 4-1/2 ush joint aluminum drill pipe can be delivered to the drill site on one trailer. Extend drilling capacity. Drilling with Alcoa Flush Joint Aluminum Drill Pipe can reduce rotating torque, providing for extended drilling capacity. In addition, it exhibits less string drag during pull-out than steel pipe, as well as greater buoyancy when drilling in uids. Alcoa Flush Joint Aluminum Drill Pipes lighter weight also offers: Energy savings a portable rig will use from 15% to 20% less fuel to hoist aluminum pipe vs. steel. Durable - extra thick wall allows drill pipe to withstand nearly twice as much wear before downgrading. Ease of connections aluminum pipe is easier to stab on connections, adding to the efciency of drilling operations. Rig photo courtesy of Schramm, Inc. Problem solved. 25025 IH-45 N.
