Pipes used in drilling projects play an important role in both the success of the project and in keeping long-term costs under control. Pipes that are not properly maintained can wear out over time, which can negatively affect the project. Here are some maintenance tips to consider to extend the life of your drilling pipes:

1. Regular Cleaning

Drilling pipes can become clogged due to sediment and minerals that accumulate on their surfaces over time. These accumulations reduce the functionality of the pipes and reduce the efficiency of the drilling process. Regular cleaning of the pipes is important to prevent this problem.

2. Corrosion Control

Groundwater and ground conditions can cause pipes to corrode. You can protect the pipes from these effects by using corrosion-resistant coatings and corrosion-inhibiting chemicals. In addition, the corrosion status of the pipes should be checked regularly and the necessary interventions should be made.
3. Leak Tests

Leakage in drilling pipes can cause serious structural problems and resource losses. For this reason, the connection points and joints of the pipes should be checked regularly. Especially in deep drilling projects, the leakage of the pipes should be tested with pressurized water or gas tests.
4. Storage Conditions

Drilling pipes should be stored under suitable conditions when not in use. Pipes exposed to sunlight and excessive moisture wear out and deform more quickly. It is important for storage areas to be dry and cool to maintain the durability of the pipes.

5. Periodic Maintenance Programs

Checking the drill pipes within the scope of regular maintenance programs allows for the early detection of possible problems. The condition of the pipes should be reviewed before the project starts and at regular intervals and necessary repairs should be made.

As a result, the maintenance of the drill pipes is of great importance in terms of sustainability and cost effectiveness of the projects. Regular maintenance and control will extend the life of the pipes and ensure that your project continues without interruption.
