DRILL COLLAR
Founded in 2013, Yantai Xinbaoshang Materials Technology Co., Ltd.
China's leading drill collar manufacturer and supplier
Drill Collar is a critical component in the oil and gas industry. Manufactured from high-strength steel, it features thick walls and a large diameter design, offering exceptional wear resistance and corrosion resistance, enabling reliable operation under extreme geological conditions. During drilling operations, it not only provides the necessary downforce but also effectively reduces vibration and deviation during drilling, enabling it to withstand high loads during drilling operations and ensuring drilling safety and efficiency. The connection method of the Drill Collar uses special threaded joints, enabling seamless integration with Drill Pipe and other drilling components to form a stable drilling string. This flexibility allows it to adapt to various drilling operation requirements, performing exceptionally well in both onshore and offshore environments. Each Drill Collar undergoes rigorous quality testing and complies with API standards.
Drill collars provide the necessary downward force on the drill bit, which is essential for breaking through hard rock formations and achieving a good penetration rate. Without sufficient WOB, the drill bit may not penetrate effectively, leading to slower drilling and increased costs.
The high bending resistance of drill collars helps maintain the drill string's stiffness, preventing it from bending excessively and ensuring the wellbore follows the desired trajectory. This is particularly important in directional drilling where precise control over the well path is needed.
Drill collars are placed near the bottom of the drill string, stabilizing the bit and the lower portion of the BHA, contributing to a smoother and more controlled drilling process.
The robust construction of drill collars allows them to withstand the axial, bending, and torsional stresses encountered during drilling, preventing failure and ensuring operational reliability.
Directional Drilling: Guiding and controlling the wellbore trajectory.
Deepwater Drilling: Reaching and exploring hydrocarbon reservoirs in deepwater environments.
Geothermal Drilling: Accessing geothermal energy sources.
Mining Exploration: Used in the exploration of mineral deposits.
As a leading manufacturer and supplier of drill collar products in China, our products cover most application scenarios in terms of size and standards. Our products strictly comply with international standards such as API and ASTM. If you have any other requirements for product specifications, please feel free to contact us for customization.
| Outer Diameter (OD) | Ranges from 3 1/8″ to 11″, with common sizes including 4.5″, 5″, 6.5″, and 8″. A larger OD provides more weight and stiffness. |
| Inner Diameter (ID) | Varies based on the OD and application, with common IDs ranging from 1 1/4″ to 3 1/2″. |
| Length | Typically ranges from 30 to 32 feet, with some applications requiring longer collars (e.g., 43 feet). |
| Material | Usually made of high-strength alloy steel or carbon steel. |
| Connection Type | Uses threaded connections, with API Regular (API-REG) being a common standard. Numbered Connections (NC) are also used, with the first two digits indicating the pitch diameter and the numbers to the right indicating the drill collar OD. |
| API Standards | Drill collars are manufactured to meet API specifications, particularly API Spec 7-1, ensuring quality and compatibility. |
| Other Features | Some drill collars have spiral grooves to reduce friction and allow for better cuttings removal. Non-magnetic drill collars are also available for specific applications. |
| Weight | The weight of a drill collar is a crucial factor in drilling operations, influenced by factors like formation type, well depth, and hole size. |
| Elevator and Slip Grooves | Some drill collars include elevator and/or slip grooves for handling and gripping, with specific dimensions defined by API standards. |
