CEW™ Extended Wear Drill Pipe

CEW™ Extended Wear Drill Pipe

Contact our engineering team for technical data sheets, sizing and a commercial offer tailored to your project.

CEW™ (Extended Wear) drill pipe reinforces the high-wear areas of the tube to extend service life and lower the total cost of ownership with fewer maintenance needs. Designed for the toughest horizontal drilling environments, it improves weight transfer to the bit to increase rate of penetration (ROP) and helps minimize buckling, drag and friction. Combined with the CET® high-torque connection it delivers superior drilling efficiency.

Key benefits

  • Durability: strengthened high-wear areas minimize fatigue and extend service life
  • Lower cost of ownership: longer life reduces replacement frequency
  • Drilling efficiency: improved energy transfer to the bit increases ROP
  • Reduced downtime: greater wear resistance means fewer interruptions
