        The service life of drill collars should be evaluated and optimized from the following aspects:
· Improving materials and manufacturing processes: By improving the comprehensive mechanical properties of drill collar materials and the production process level of hollow steel, various internal and external defects of drill collars can be reduced, thereby extending their service life.
· Improving working environment and usage conditions: For example, by introducing graded management of drilling tools and selecting appropriate drill collars according to drilling needs, it can better adapt to different working environments and usage conditions.
· Strengthen maintenance and management: Strengthen the inspection and repair of drilling tools on the construction site, and timely discover and repair potential problems of drilling tools through modern technical equipment, which can avoid the occurrence of malignant accidents and extend the service life of drill collars.
        In specific situations, such as using drill collars made of non-magnetic stainless steel material with PRE30 or higher, their service life may reach more than 8 years, while the service life of non-magnetic stainless steel material with PRE 20 may only be 1 year.
        Overall, the service life of drill collars is a relatively flexible concept that is influenced by multiple factors. In order to extend the service life of drill collars, it is necessary to comprehensively consider multiple aspects such as material, manufacturing process, working environment, usage conditions, and maintenance management.
