The
drill string consisted of drill pipe with upset connections both inside and outside, thus producing internal dual diameters.
A development that appeared in the 1960s is "coiled tubing"--the
drill string is a single tube delivered in a coil as much as 1,500 meters in length.
Thus, by plotting data obtained from the developed computer programme, effects of mud properties, hole size,
drill string tripping speed and configurations on swab and surge pressure magnitude can be predicted during drilling operations
By machining the part from a single large forging, Stabil Drill eliminates the possibility of a broken weld stranding a multi-million-dollar
drill string down an expensive borehole.
The DSR sends radio and microwaves into the earth from a
drill string (vertical drill rods, horizontal directional drill rods, etc.

A big problem with working in the polar regions is icebergs--as the Leg 113 ice observer reportedly joked, the sound of the
drill string is a mating call for icebergs.
In order to achieve the full engineered benefits of the XT thread, however, one must consider the
drill string as a system of connections between the shank adapter, rods and the bit in extension drilling applications.
New downhole tooling for the Grundodrill 4X compact HDD rig improves safety and simplifies drilling operations by allowing users to disconnect the sonde housing segment from the
drill string after the pilot bore is complete.
