Macrography of a longitudinal section of the pipe at the fracture position, as ground, showing in the rigth side the thicker thickness and several secondary cracks opened to the external side of the pipe (created during bending), and in the left side the shearing mechanism and the thinner thickness.

Aspect of a transverse section of the 4" pipe showing the barnacles adhered to the internal pipe surface, and the leakage position (in the top of the figure). It is possible to see that the deposits are attached all throught the internal pipe perimeter but the damage is localized. The damage morphology suggests it is a crack, or a welding defect, but the microstructural analysis indicated that the damage is a galvanic effect at the autogenous seam weld.

Cm - Longitudinal Section AspectDf - Localized Corrosion
Macrography of the longitudinal section of the tool joint, assembled. The pin is still attached to the box end of the other drill pipe in the column, showing that the pin fractured in the region of external diameter transition (right side of the figure), where the box was probably touching the pin shoulder. Interesting to note that the inner diameter still presents a sound coating.
