Spiral and Slick Drill Collars
The primary purpose of the drill collar is to deliver weight on the bit. These collars do not have welded tool joints (unlike integral HWDP), and instead come with pin and box connection threads machined directly into the wall. For additional protection against differential sticking, the drill collar may feature spiral grooves.
