drill pipe

Drill pipe is a very strong and long tube that we use to drill through the ground. Think of a huge straw that allows us to reach far below the ground! We use the to generate oil and gas when it connects with a drill bit. It's all because of the two different ends of the drill—one is a sharp cutting point that removes rock, and the other is a cone shape that pushes the loose rock out of the way. Drill pipe is a thick steel material, which is a very strong/rigid material. This is also crucial for the work done in mining and oil drilling, where we extract resources from deep below the surface of the earth.

Tracing the Path of Drill Pipe

How drill pipe functions is actually a very cool concept. It links the huge machines we use on the surface to the smiling drill bit that is now sitting at the bottom of the hole we are boring. During the drilling, the drill pipe is sinking deeper and deeper into the earth through the bit like a long snake. As the drill pipe descends, it rotates at the same time. This makes the drill bit grind the rock into little tiny pieces, similar to taking a solid rock and gathering dust! Once the rock has been broken up, we use fluids, known as drilling fluids, that are pumped down the drill pipe. This helps to draw the small pieces of rock up towards the surface where we can observe them.
