Drill Collar

Product:

 Drill Collar

Standard

 API SPEC 7-1

Steel grade:

AISI 4145H

Sizes:

 3 1/8" -- 11"

Connected Type:

 NC, IF, REG


Drill collars are extra-heavy integral tools used to concentrate weight onto the drill bit so as to produce sufficient force for the drill bit to break rock efficiently while drilling. They are made of AISI 4145H modified steel and are connected between drill pipes and drill bits.

 

Drill collars come in 30 or 31 foot lengths and are furnished as slick (as-rolled surface finish) or spiraled. Spiraled drill collars have grooves on its external surface which maintains an even flow of drilling fluid around the collar to equalize pressure and reduce differential-sticking of the collar to the wall of the oilwell.

 

Our drill collar connections comply with dimensional requirements specified in API Spec. 7/7-1 and guidelines presented in API RP7G. Drill collars also come with slip and elevator recesses for safe and efficient handling. Slip and elevator recesses can be used together or separately and are machined in compliance with API RP7G guidelines unless otherwise specified.
