WUXI TAKELO Successfully Delivers 600 Tons of Drill Pipe to the United Kingdom

2025-10-22

In early October, TAKELO completed the shipment of 600 tons of drill pipe to a long-term customer in the United Kingdom. Dozens of containers were loaded and dispatched to support ongoing oilfield projects in the region. The successful delivery marks another milestone in TAKELO’s cooperation with European partners and reflects the steady, long-term demand for drilling tools in the British oil and gas market.

The delivered products are designed to support efficient and reliable drilling in mature and challenging offshore environments. By providing durable and high-performance drill pipe, TKL helps operators in the UK sector maintain low operating costs and ensure consistent field productivity over time.

PMXT57 Connection — Strength and Compatibility

The drill pipe supplied in this order features the PMXT57 connection, which is fully interchangeable with the industry-recognized XT57 type. Connections in this series are known for their exceptional torsional capacity and structural reliability, often used in drill pipe for demanding offshore wells.

Compared with conventional API threads, the PMXT57 offers a thicker cross-section and smoother internal flow geometry, which together enhance torque transmission and reduce pressure losses during circulation. These advantages allow operators to drill deeper with greater hydraulic efficiency while minimizing wear at the tool joint. The compatibility between PMXT57 and XT57 also enables customers to integrate new drill pipes into existing string systems without additional modification, simplifying logistics and inventory management.

PM200 Coating — Protection for Harsh Environments

All pipes in this batch are coated with PM200, a high-performance epoxy coating known for its superior resistance to corrosion, abrasion, and chemical degradation. Originally developed for heavy industrial use, PM200 has proven effective for protecting drill pipe surfaces exposed to seawater and high-H₂S or CO₂ conditions.

This coating forms a dense protective layer that helps extend the service life of the drill pipe and maintain its integrity during long-term offshore deployment. With lower maintenance frequency and improved resistance to environmental stress, operators can achieve higher cost efficiency throughout the drilling campaign.
