Similar in appearance to a drill pipe, HWDP has the following
different dimensional characteristics; the tube wall is heavier about
1thick in most sizes, the tool joints are longer, and the tube section
has a larger diameter at mid length to protect the pipe from wear.
HWDP were developed for the following reasons; As a transition
member to be run between drill collars and drill pipe, as a flexible
weight member to run on directional drilling, as a weight member on
small rigs, drilling small diameter holes.
