Drilling Rods

Hunting’s trenchless technology range spans HIWS1 HDD drill pipe, HXT HDD drill pipe, a full suite of tooling products, and clear conversion roadmaps to help operators transition with confidence.

HDD drill pipe isn’t “just pipe” — it’s the lifeline of the job. When it performs, everything runs smoothly; when it doesn’t, downtime and risk climb fast. That’s why Hunting developed its one-piece, upset-forged design around a zero-fail mindset.

From raw material selection through to final machining, Hunting drill pipe and tooling are manufactured to demanding standards, with a focus on durability, consistency, and reliability in the field.

 
 

The HIWS1 drill pipe is a premium stem manufactured from a special I-145-grade alloy material; heat-treated and forged, machined and inspected to precision specifications to ensure a high-quality drill pipe.

Design Components of the HIWS1 Drill Pipe:

• Steep-tapered, deep-stabbing connection

• Fast-pitch thread for quick make up

• Double-shouldered design for added torque

• Internal and external upset to optimize strength and performance

• Shot blast on connections to adhere thread compound & increase thread life

• Protectors applied to pin and box connections to prevent damage

A patented Hunting design that is an exclusive in the HDD industry. The HXT™ Drill Pipe is built to the same standards as the HIWS1 while offering a patented design to increase torque capabilities.

Design components of the HXT™ Drill Pipe:

• Same stabbing and make up capabilities as the HIWS1

• Larger internal bore sizes for increased flow needs

• Patented design for high-torque applications

• Internal and external upset to optimize strength and performance

• Shot blast on connections to adhere thread compound & increase thread life

• Protectors applied to pin and box connections to prevent damage
