Talk:Drill string

This is probably just a silly argument, but drill pipe might not always be the longest part of the drill string. On shallower intervals such as when drilling the surface casing interval, the interval may be short enough where only drill collars are needed. But the statement in the article is generally true, considering the total drilled depth of an average well, and not worth editing. --Altailji 18:49, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Classifying as a stub

There is more that could be added, but I still think there's too much information in this article for it to be considered a stub. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Glom (talk • contribs) 09:18, 24 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Not just oil

It's not just drilling for oil that involves Drill strings and so on. Holes can be drilled for water, for seismic shotholes, for geological investigation for foundations for buildings &c.--SilasW (talk) 19:25, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
