drill pipe

Hollow boring shaft

Drill pipe is the heavy steel tubing that connects a drilling rig to the drill bit deep underground.

Sections of pipe are screwed together as the well gets deeper, transmitting rotation and drilling fluid to the cutting face while allowing extracted material to flow back up.

We need to add another joint of drill pipe.
