      To extend the service life of petroleum drill pipes, the following suggestions can be followed:
1. When using new petroleum drill rods, it is necessary to carefully check whether the screw thread of the front section of the drill bit (protecting the shaft head) is intact to ensure that there are no loose or other problems, in order to prevent water leakage, jamming, and other conditions from occurring.
2. When conducting the first drilling, the step of "grinding the new buckle" should be followed. This includes applying thread oil, fully tightening with a drilling rig, then opening the buckle, and then reapplying thread oil and repeating this process three times. This can avoid new wear and buckles, ensuring that the drill pipe has good wear adaptation during the initial use stage.
3. Try to keep the drill pipe in a straight line with the ground as much as possible to avoid lateral forces on the threaded part, thereby reducing unnecessary wear and jumping. At the same time, ensure that the drilling rig is anchored firmly to avoid movement due to stress during construction.
4. When making up the drill pipe, it should be slowly tightened to reduce overheating and wear. In addition, full torque must be used to tighten each time the buckle is fastened, and the condition of the clip must be constantly monitored to ensure it is in good condition.
5. Use qualified thread oil and avoid using unsuitable lubricants such as butter. At the same time, ensure that the drill pipe is used in conjunction with the drill bit, and the diameter of the drill bit should be greater than the diameter of the drill pipe. During the drilling process, closely monitor the condition of the drill pipe and the drill pipe.
6. Regular maintenance and upkeep of drill pipes, including rust and dust prevention treatment. In addition, check the sealing components of the drill pipe, such as O-ring seals, to ensure their good condition, and replace them in a timely manner in case of damage or corrosion.
7. During the drilling process, follow the correct operating methods to avoid exceeding the bending radius of the drill pipe, and pay attention to maintaining slow and stable changes in drilling angle.
8. Follow the relevant requirements of geological drilling to ensure that the drilling depth of the drill rod is within a safe range, and prevent accidents such as detachment due to drilling too deep.
      By following these suggestions, it is possible to ensure proper maintenance and upkeep of petroleum drill pipes during use, thereby extending their service life and improving operational efficiency.
