Tripping pipe (or "Making a round trip" or simply "Making a trip") is the physical act of pulling the drill string out of the wellbore and then running it back in. This is done by physically breaking out or disconnecting (when pulling out of the hole) every other 2 or 3 joints of drill pipe at a time (called a stand ) and racking them ...

In the context of an oil field, a tripping pipe refers to the process of removing and reintroducing drill pipe into the wellbore during drilling operations. This operation typically occurs to change tools, repair equipment, or manage well conditions, ensuring efficient drilling and maintaining safety standards.

Tripping refers to the process of removing and/or replacing pipe from the well when it is necessary to change the bit or other piece of the drill string, or when preparing to run certain tests in the well bore.

If pipe does not have to be picked up and laid down as single joints, pipe handling is faster making tripping the bit faster as well. Using the entire stroke length for pipe-heavy strings while stripping in the hole is also a plus.

2024年6月6日 · Tripping incidents can significantly impact drilling efficiency and, in severe cases, lead to wellbore catastrophes. This guide explores the different types of tripping, common causes, and preventative measures to ensure a smooth and safe drilling operation.
