Abstract:This report describes the development and application of Aluminum Drill Pipe (ADP) in Russia. Advantages of ADP for borehole drilling include low specific gravity, corrosion resistance in various aggressive environments, non-magnetic, stable mechanical properties, and high manufacturing efficiency. Issues related to the use of aluminum alloys for manufacturing drill pipe became an object of serious study for directional, extended-reach, and horizontal wells, and ultradeep borehole drilling. Furthermore, extension of drilling to offshore and to areas with difficult environmental conditions and limited infrastructure required the reduction of transportation costs of equipment and materials. All these problems can be reduced or eliminated by the application of ADP.
