Non-Magnetic Heavy Weight Drill Pipe: Precision Weighting with Survey-Grade Accuracy
The Magnetic Interference Challenge in Directional Drilling
Standard drill pipes create magnetic distortion that causes:
-Azimuth errors up to 3° in high-latitude wells
-Well collision risks from inaccurate trajectory data
-Costly correction runs requiring additional rig days
Our non-magnetic HWDP delivers:
✅ Ultra-low magnetic permeability (≤1.005 μ)
✅ Seamless MWD/LWD integration for precise well placement
✅ API + SY/T5144 dual certification
