NS-7™ Drill String Failure Prevention

This booklet concentrates on illustrating how to recognise drill string failure mechanisms, giving inspection personnel a better understanding on reporting back to their client when they have rejected equipment for a “belled box”, “galled threads”, “crack” and relating it to the 12 common failure mechanisms we see in the Industry today, i.e. Fatigue, Torsion, Tension, etc.

The recommendations in this handbook are based on over 30 years
experience in all aspects of drill string operations from procurement to end of service life, including failure investigation.

NS-21™ Drill String Knowledge Handbook

This booklet is aimed at the Drilling Engineer involved in deciding on which drill pipe string should be used for a specific well. It is intended as a guide to “fitness-for- purpose” and a simple reference document, addressing “in broad terms” which drillstring is required for the job at hand.
