To most, buying HDD drill pipe shares several similarities to buying tires: Both are consumable products requiring periodic replacement. Both are very important parts. And when it comes time to replace, there’s just no excitement—especially when considering the hefty price tag.
And while HDD pipe, admittedly, will never garner the thrill of a really mean-looking reamer, StraightLine’s new Vermeer®-compatible pipe has—at the very least—raised industry eyebrows with its aggressive pricing. Starting at $210/per stick, this pipe dramatically challenges one of the biggest consumable expenses in the drilling operation.
