Spiral Drill Collar
Product Description
Drill collar is a device used at the lowest part of a drill string,
an important part of the bottom hole assembly (BHA). It is always a
very thick-walled tube to apply weight to the drill bit. The spiral
cut is added to a drill collar to prevent the likelihood of
differential wall-sticking by reducing wall contact between the
drill collar and the wall of the hole. The spiralling starts *2
from the bottom of the slip recess or *9 from the box end and ends
*0 from the pin end. Normally, a drill collar is threaded at both
ends, male on one and female on the other. Except for thickness as
a special characteristic, a drill collar owns other unique
features, gravity, rigidity, etc.
Drill Collar Classification:
Drill collars can be simply put into three categories according to
their structure and material, namely the slick drill collar, the
spiral grooved drill collar and the non-magnetic drill collar.
1.The slick drill collar is normally a smooth thicked-wall tube,
with a thickness in the range of *8 to *3, about 4 to 8 times of
that of the drill pipes. It is machined into a uniform cylindrical
shape and made up of plain alloy steel.
2.The spiral drill collar is also machined from plain alloy steel,
but it is normally lighter by 4 to 6 percent than the slicker drill
collar. This kind of drill collar is widely used nowadays because
the special spiral design largely hold back of the possibility of
sticking accidents by reducing the area of contact between the wall
and the collar.
3.The non-magnetic drill collar is manufactured from the
non-magnetic alloy steel. As the magnetic measuring instruments can
sense the geomagnetic field when measuring the direction of the
borehole, the instruments must be kept working in a non-magnetic
environment. However, in drilling process, the magnetic rigs always
affect the accuracy of the measuring instrument. Therefore, the
utilization of a non-magnetic drill collar can ensure a more
reliable measuring result.
Drill Collars in Drilling Application:
1.Drill collars play a vital role in drilling process. Due to the
structural features, drill collars can provide weight for drilling
purpose, which is drill collars one and foremost specialty. Gravity
works on a number of drill collars to offer enough downward force
needed to break rocks with the drill bit.
2.Apart from providing weight on the bit (WOB), drill collars also
work as a shock absorber to dampen the vibration and shaking when
drilling takes place. In this way, the drilling process can be
carried out in a much steadier state.
3.Thirdly, the presence of the drill collars allows the pipelines
to stay in the tensile state, while guarantees the rigidity of the
drill string under great compression. Thus, the drill efficiency
and quality are greatly improved.
