Fracture position at the pipe body, about 1 meter from the tool joint end. The fracture presented two main aspects, a flat fracture transverse to the pipe axis, that propagated by fatigue through almost 50% of the pipe perimeter, and a final fracture by shear overloading.

Drill Pipe Fracture in the Pipe Body
M - Low Alloy Medium Carbon QTP - Drill PipeAp - O&G Well DrillingCd - Corrosion Fatigue
Cm - Aspect Before AnalysisDf - General View
Macroscopic view of the fracture in the pipe body. In the bottom of the figure, the fracture of the pipe shows a thicker thickness, revealing that this is the pipe region that was first damaged by bending (buckling). In the top of the figure, the fracture shows a (ductile) shearing mechanism and the thickness is thinner, as will be better observed in the macrography.

ML00159 — Collapse of a Drill PipeM - Low Alloy Medium Carbon QTP - Drill PipeAp - O&G Well DrillingCd - Ductile Behavior
Macrography of a longitudinal section of the pipe at the fracture position, in the thinner thickness. The external side of the pipe (OD) is to the left side of the figure, and the internal side of the pipe is to the rigth of the figure. The fracture occurred by shearing the pipe in a single event (probably due to tensile stresses during removal).

Cm - NItal Etched MacroDf - Ductile Fracture
Macrographic detail of the longitudinal section of the pipe at the fracture position, in the thicker thickness. The several secondary cracks, opened to the OD, were created during bending and shows evidences of compression, responsible for the increase in the pipe thickness.

Cm - NItal Etched MacroDf - Ductile Fracture
Micrography of a longitudinal section of the pipe at the fracture position, in the thinner thickness. The diagonal line in the middle of the figure is the fracture surface and it is possible to identify that it was sheared with strong plastic deformation. The segregation bands (longitudinal lines) are deformed in the direction of the failure shearing, in a depth that is several milimeters deep in the pipe, from the fracture surface.

Visual aspect of the tool joint (TJ) that fractured in the pin body when it was assembled (the box appears as a sleeve in the pin OD). The internal coating is not damaged. The fracture is flat and presents little evidences of plastic deformation, indicating that the pin broke in a brittle way.
