HEAVY WEIGHT DRILL PIPE
(HWDP)
• Heavy wall tubes
attached.
• It usually is located
between the drill collars
and the drill pipe.
1
HEAVY WEIGHT DRILL PIPE
(HWDP)
• Available in spiral design.
• It has the same OD as a
standard drill pipe.
• It has much reduced inside
diameter than the drill
pipe. 2
HEAVY WEIGHT DRILL PIPE
(HWDP)
• HWDP although stiffer
than DP, can also buckle.
• It is used in vertical and
horizontal directional
drilling (HDD).

• It is used in vertical and
horizontal directional
drilling (HDD).
4
HEAVY WEIGHT DRILL PIPE
(HWDP)
• The walls of the HWDP are
thicker than the DP.
• The walls of the HWDP are
stronger than the DP with
high tensile strength.
5
HEAVY WEIGHT DRILL PIPE
(HWDP)
• It has a wall thickness of
approximately one inch.
• It bends easily.
6
HWDP – Functions
• It is used to provide a
smooth transition between
the different sections of
the drill string
components.
7
HWDP – Functions
• It prevents the DP from
buckling.
• It is sometimes used
instead of DC.
8
HWDP – Sizes Range
• Outer Diameter: 2 7/8” – 6
5/8”.

HWDP – Recomendations
(vertical hole for weight)
1. Use the necessary
number of joints to
provide the required
weight.
14
HWDP – Recommendations
(vertical hole for weight)
2. Do not run it where the
hole size is more than 4”
(larger than the HW tool
joint size).
15
HWDP – Recommendations
(transition zone between
pipe and collars)
1. Use a minimum of 18 to
21 joints.
16
HWDP – Recommendations
(transition zone between
pipe and collars)
2. Follow the manufacture´s
recommendations for the
maximum drill collar size
to be run below the HW.
17
HWDP – Recommendations
(directional hole for weight)
1. Use the necessary
number of joints to
achieve the desired
weight on bit WOB
(usually 60 joints are
used). 18
