       Petroleum drill rods play a crucial role in the drilling process of oil wells, and their characteristics mainly include:
1. Materials and properties: The main material of petroleum drill rods is high-strength alloy steel, which has high hardness, high strength, and good corrosion resistance. Its hardness is usually between 40 and 45 HRC, which gives it a certain degree of wear resistance and durability. In addition, petroleum drill pipes also need to have a certain degree of toughness and elasticity to adapt to the impact and vibration during the drilling process, as well as changes in the geological conditions at the bottom of the well.
2. Structural design: Petroleum drill rods have the characteristics of thin walls and light weight per unit length, mainly providing mud channels, transmitting tension and torque. In order to strengthen the connection strength between the pipe body and the joint, the two ends of the drill pipe body are upset and thickened. According to API standards, thickening forms are divided into three types: internal thickening, external thickening, and internal and external thickening. The thickened transition section is generally 20-65mm long, with the longest being 120-130mm.
3. Technological breakthrough: The breakthrough points of modern petroleum drill pipe technology are mainly reflected in the innovation of materials science, intelligent technology, and manufacturing processes. With the development of materials science, new alloy materials are widely used in drill pipe manufacturing, which have higher strength and better toughness. The application of intelligent technology enables drill pipes to monitor working conditions and status in real time, detect problems and faults in a timely manner, and improve the efficiency and safety of drilling operations. At the same time, new manufacturing methods such as hot rolling, cold rolling, and cold drawing make the drill pipe structure more uniform and stable, improving the reliability and service life of the drill pipe.
       The characteristics of petroleum drill pipes lie in their high strength, high hardness, good corrosion resistance, and special structural design, as well as the innovation of materials and manufacturing processes brought about by modern technology. These characteristics enable petroleum drill rods to adapt to complex bottomhole geological conditions, ensuring the smooth progress of drilling operations.
