DS-1 Volume 1 Drilling Tubular Product Specification Quantity

An easy to use manufacturing specification for drilling tubular products.

A global manufacturing standard must be comprehensive, technically sound and easy to use for both buyer
and producer. In Volume 1 of DS-1 Fourth Edition, we worked with manufacturers, buyers, and users of
drilling tubular products to create such a standard. The Drilling Tubular Product Specification is Volume 1 of
DS-1 Fourth Edition, and offers a standardized approach to the manufacturing process.

Features of the Manufacturing Standard:

Establishes requirements for two service levels: Normal and CriticalAligns DS-1 Standard Level requirements
with API Specifications 7-1, 7-2, and 5DP including addition of HWDP and stabilizersAdds new section on
hardbanding including geometry and applicationPresents all manufacturing, dimensional and metallurgical
requirements in tabular formatCovers drill pipe, HWDP, subs, stabilizers, drill collars and pup jointsAddresses
the requirements for higher grade drill pipe (DS-140 and DS-150)Includes a special category for thick-wall drill
pipe used for landing stringsProcedures for non-destructive testing of components not addressed by APINew
section on purchasing (receiving) inspectionEntire volume structured for ease of use

DS-1 Volume 2 Drill Stem Design & Operation Quantity

A revolutionary standard for drill string design and operation.

What if you could dramatically increase the fatigue life of your drill string merely by following structured design
criteria? With the DS-1 Fourth Edition Design volume, you can. Years of research have culminated in a
ground-breaking approach to drill string design that maximizes fatigue mitigation while delivering an optimal
overall design. This innovative technology can only be found in Standard DS-1 Drill Stem Design and
Operation, Volume 2 of our Fourth Edition

The Standard in Design Includes:

Innovative fatigue mitigation design methods (Connection Fatigue Index, Curvature Index and Stability
Index)Risk-based design groups for overload preventionRisk-based design groups for fatigue mitigationNew
drill pipe sizes and gradesDimensional and load capacities for new NWDP, TWDP and proprietary
connectionsSlip-cut severity and the impact on fatigueMethods for corrosion monitoringExpanded coverage for
slip crushing issuesNew section on Landing String DesignConsiderations for reactive torque and casing
wearInstructions for specifying an appropriate inspectionNew section on hardbanding including material
selection, geometry and application

DS-1 Volume 3 Drill Stem Inspection Quantity

A volume dedicated to inspection.

In the past decades, DS-1 has become the global standard for inspection by offering comprehensive
procedural detail, an easy to use inspection specification system and timely technical updates. The Fourth
Edition carries on this tradition and expands coverage.

Content Includes:
New procedures for heat checking, pup joint inspection, hardbanding, tool joint build up, wet visible contrast
method, phosphating new connections, demagnetization, and marking for inspected componentsExpanded
dimensional and visual inspection procedures for new proprietary connectionsInspection tables supplemented
with new pipe sizes, weights, and gradesInspection criteria for thick-wall drill pipe, HWDP and drill
collarsCoverage of DS-140 and DS-150 grade drill pipeManufacturer-specific connection inspection
criteriaExpansion of MUT tablesReference photographs for internal plastic coating evaluationProcedure for full
length UT inspection of drill pipe tubesHeavy duty landing string inspection category

DS-1 Volume 4 Drilling Specialty Tools

A new specification for drilling specialty tools.

As well complexity increases, so do the demands placed on drilling specialty tools to perform. The new Volume
4 of the Standard DS-1 Fourth Edition, Drilling Specialty Tools, establishes requirements for specialty tools
that will allow them to meet these demands and decrease the probability that they will fail in service, either
functionally or structurally. Our objective is to reduce NPT and the costs associated with specialty tool failures.

Highlights of the New Drilling Specialty Tool Standard:

Incorporates STC-1 and Standard DS-1 inspection procedures to address qualification of drilling specialty
toolsSpecifies requirements for select tool familiesEstablishes process for inspection, assembly and
testingCovers design limits and constraintsProvides return, repair, re-inspection, and restocking procedures
