GEO™ drill pipe

Designed to perform

Harsh conditions in geothermal drilling applications require advanced

drilling tubulars. As the world leader in premium drill stem products, we
offer innovative drilling solutions for the most challenging Geothermal
Drilling applications. Our custom engineered products include drill pipe,
heavy weight drill pipe, drill collars and accessories. We have advanced
R&D and fully integrated manufacturing with facilities in the United States,
Mexico, China and the Middle East.

GP GEO™ Drill Pipe

GP GEO™ drill pipe provides superior technical performance and service
life, exceeding current industry standards.

Our products include:

• Proprietary upset designs to ensure stronger than the pipe weld strength
in tension
• Connections designed with minimized outside diameters (OD) and
maximized inside diameters (ID) to allow largest possible pipe sizes
in a given hole size.
• An array of high-performance connections providing extended torque Tool Tool
