Embodiment Construction

[0043] figure 1 A portion of a drill string 1 in an almost horizontal portion 2 of a formation well is shown. The drill string 1 is shown in part by a hollow tubular element 3 comprising two joints 4 and 5, by which each end of the element 3 is connected to complementary tubular elements 6 and 7 of the drill string. The drill string 1 defines a continuous central space for the flow of drilling fluid as indicated by arrows 8 . A drilling tool such as a drill bit works at the bottom of the borehole, then drilling fluid or drilling mud rises in the annular space between the borehole wall and the outer surface of the drill string 1 , see arrow 9 .

[0044] As the drilling fluid rises over the drill pipe, it carries debris from the formation traversed by the drilling tool to the surface from which the well is being drilled. The operation of the drill pipe according to the prior art is shown in figure 1 . exist figure 1 It was observed that debris carried by the drilling fluid ...

Abstract

A tubular drill string element (3) is provided. The tubular drill string element (3) comprises a substantially cylindrical body (12) and two connectors (4, 5). Each connector is arranged at an end of the body and provided with a threaded portion (18, 19) suitable for being connected to a complementary element. At least one of the two connectors is provided with a lifting surface (22) suitable for engaging with a lifting tool of the element with a view to the assembly of same in a drill string. The tubular drill string element (3) is characterized in that the lifting surface has a non-circular transverse section forming an activation area (24) for a drilling fluid.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of exploration and development of oil and gas reservoirs, in which a rotating drill string is used. A drill string may include drill pipe, heavy mud drill pipe, drill collars, stabilizers and subs. Drill pipes are assembled by screwing one after the other into a sucker rod string, which constitutes a large or even major part of the length of the drill string. The present invention more particularly relates to profiles for rotary drilling equipment, such as drill pipe in a sucker rod string for rotary drilling. Background technique [0002] The characteristics of the drill string and more broadly the drill string elements are responsible for the quality, performance and safety of the entire drilling process, either during the drilling phase itself or during the implementation phase between downhole and surface. [0003] The development of oil and gas exploration requires the formation of more and more complex traject...
