Traceability
Material and process traceability are maintained for each Heavy Weight Drill Pipe component. For the tool joints, the
mill material certifications are confirmed by incoming testing and each tool joint blank is given a numbered heat
code. This code is traceable through the manufacturing process. The heavy weight drill pipe tube is given a perma-
nent identification number.
Cold Rolling
Drill pipe undergoes repeated, severe tensile stresses during a drilling operation. These cyclic stresses are particularly
focused on the thread roots and can cause pipe failure. Grant Prideco helps alleviate this problem by compressing (cold
rolling) the thread roots on every piece of heavy weight drill pipe. Because the threads are in a compressed state to begin
with, the endurance limit to bending forces is increased, thereby decreasing fatigue.
Mechanical properties for tool joint materials are
tabulated on page 18 of this catalog.
G
rant Prideco Heavy Weight Drill Pipe is manufactured by
welding extra-long tool joints to heavy wall tubes.
Standard heavy weight tool joints are manufactured from
AISI 4142H-4145H modified drill collar material.
The heavy weight pipe body is manufactured from AISI 1340
material. Extra-long tool joints are designed to provide increased
space for connection rework.

T
hick-walled pipe, called Heavy
Weight Drill Pipe (HWDP), was
developed to provided a gradual
transition from the heavy drill collars to the
relatively lightweight drill pipe. This inter-
mediate-weight pipe has a wall thickness of
approximately 1, and helps prevent stress
concentration at the top of the drill collar.
It also allows you to drill at higher rpms,
reducing torque and differential pressure
sticking.
HWDP is intended primarily for directional
drilling. Because it bends easily, it simplifies
directional control and minimizes connection
fatigue problems common to high-angle or
horizontal drilling. The reduced number of
pipe failures and increased drill-stem ser-
vice also make HWDP appropriate for
some straight-hole applications.
Various combinations of HWDP, drill
collars, and standard drill string can be
created to meet the challenge of severe
drilling conditions.

rant Prideco developed Tri-Spiral

Heavy Weight Drill Pipe for applications
where standard heavy weight drill pipe
can failextended reach or horizontal drilling.
The severe bending stresses and hole-wall con-
tact are reduced by three spiral upsets that are
equally spaced between tool joints. The upset
design helps reduce buckling and differential
sticking, as well as torque and drag. Spiraling
the upsets also helps move the cuttings off the
low side of the hole for better hole cleaning.
Tri-Spiral

Heavy Weight Drill Pipe features

more weight per joint and better hole cleaning
characteristics than standard heavy weight drill
pipe, providing optimum performance in
severe drilling conditions.

drill pipe, spiraled heavy-wall
drill pipe, is designed to handle maximum
stress to save time and reduce drilling costs-
especially in tough drilling environments.
Intermediate drill string members are constantly
subjected to some of the most severe tasks in drill-
ing today. The critical transition zone between stiff,
heavy drill collars (under compression) and the
light, more flexible drill pipe (in tension) can be too
much for conventional heavy-wall drill pipe to han-
dle.

drill pipes unique patented spiral
design reduces differential sticking problems, mini-
mizes wear and improves circulation. Precision tool
joint alignment cuts down on excessive tool joint
wear for longer service life and reduced fatigue.

XD

-90 Heavy Weight Drill Pipe

XD

-90 Heavy Weight Drill Pipe (HWDP) is a proprietary product offered by Grant Prideco for service in H
2
S
environments. XD

-90 HWDP is available in both Standard and Spiral HWDP.

XD

-90 HWDP provides higher strength and a tempered martensite microstructure for enhanced resistance to
crack initiation and crack propagation compared to conventional HWDP. XD

-90 HWDP incorporates a proprie-

tary chemistry and a rigidly controlled quench and temper heat treatment process. XD

-90 HWDP has a mini-

mum yield strength of 90,000 psi compared to standard welded HWDP with a minimum yield strength of
55,000 psi. With a NACE threshold stress of 85% of yield strength, XD-90

HWDP is resistant to sulfide stress

cracking. Its high fracture toughness makes XD

-90 HWDP ideal for the most demanding drilling conditions,

including applications with high bending loads and corrosive environments.

HW-95

Heavy Weight Drill Pipe

HW-95

high strength heavy weight drill pipe grade is a proprietary

grade offered by Grant Prideco for target applications requiring the
use of HWDP high in the hole where elevated tensile and torsional
loading is expected. HW-95

HWDP features a high yield strength

(95 ksi minimum), a 73% increase in yield strength over standard
HWDP products, resulting in superior tensile and torsional strength
properties. HW-95

HWDP was specifically designed such that ten-

sile and torsional capacities are equal to or greater than nearly all
types of standard API drill pipes tubes. As a result of the increased
strength, HW-95

HWDP is a perfect fit for applications such as

short radius, horizontal, and extended reach drilling (ERD) projects
where use of HWDP above the kick-off point is required for applying
bit weight and additional buckling stability.
