DRILL STRING SECTIONS WITH INTERCHANGEABLE COUPLINGS

摘要

A drill string section includes one or two tool joints that are removable from a body. Tool joints with different thread configurations may be interchangeably used with the same body. The tool joints have a compact construction that can facilitate making the drill string section short. The body overlaps with threads of one or both of the tool joints. The drill string section has non-exclusive application between a mud motor and a drill bit.
