Drill Pipe/Casing Protector

DPPRegal™ Drill Pipe/Casing Protectors (DPPs) are steel-reinforced, molded-rubber pads that are installed around the O.D. of the drill pipe to provide an expendable, downhole wear surface between the casing I.D. and the drill string. The DPPs protect the I.D. of the casing from wear caused by the drill string. The most common applications are in deviated wells, deep holes, fast rotary speeds, under high torque and in offshore applications.

Key Features

  • Provides a sacrificial wear surface.
