The use of alternative materials for drill pipe to extend drilling reach in shallow reservoirs
Master's thesis in Petroleum engineering One of the limiting factors for extended reach and horizontal drilling is high torque and drag values. One way to reduce torque & drag is to reduce the weight of the drill pipe by exchanging the standard steel with other materials that weigh less. Th...
