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]

Merge proposal

Come on this thing (stuck drill string)really doesn't deserve an article of its own Madmedea 19:06, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes on merge. Suggest place as section following Running a Drill String. --TRosenbaum 07:08, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Did merge. --TRosenbaum 06:07, 5 February 2007 (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]

Need a diagram/animation

The article definitely needs some kind of illustration or animation detailing the removal of drill strings via jars, the current description leaves too much to the imagination.--Hooperbloob (talk) 13:08, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Jars

There's not a good description or an illustration of jars in the article before it goes into a disproportionately detailed description of their development and use. It leaves the reader guessing about what they must look like or how they function.Landroo (talk) 04:52, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
