Bottomhole Assembly (BHA) Components consist of varying tool types from: Stabilizers https://youtu.be/lw7uV7CFpws Stabilizers, by centralizing the drill string at selected points in the borehole, perform these important functions: They ensure that the weight of the drill collars is concentrated on the bit. They reduce torque and bending stresses in the …

Dimensions and Strengths https://youtu.be/-IoTMZDJQIg Like other oilfield tubulars, drill pipe comes in a variety of lengths, diameters, weights and grades of steel. Drill pipe is also specified according to its upset (the type of end section provided for weld-on connections or tool joints). Factors that influence drill pipe selection include: Hole size Well …
