    Abstract: Pipes, drill strings including pipes, and methods for use on a drilling rig. The method includes obtaining pipe data for individual drill pipes of a drill string, obtaining a well trajectory for a well, obtaining one or more drilling measurements to be used when drilling the well, planning a first drill string based on the pipe data, the well trajectory, and the one or more drilling measurements, predicting an aging of the individual drill pipes in the first drill string while drilling the well using the first drill string, determining that a risk of failure of one or more individual pipes in the first drill string is unacceptable based on the aging of the individual pipes; and planning a second drill string in response to determining that the risk of failure is unacceptable in the first drill string.

    Abstract: A reamer for enlarging an underground borehole comprises a plurality of cutter assemblies distributed azimuthally around a longitudinal axis of the tool. Each cutter assembly comprises a supporting structure and a plurality of hard faced cutters secured therein with a hard surface of each cutter exposed and facing in a direction of rotation of the tool and extending radially outwards from the tool axis to a radially outward extremity. These cutters are arranged in a sequence extending axially along the tool. In contrast with convention a1 cutter assemblies, the supporting structure comprises at least one radially outward-facing surface which is positioned to follow behind the leading face of at least one cutter as the tool rotates and which is aligned with the radially outer extremity of the cutter at the same radial distance from the tool axis. Thus the surface area available to contact the borehole wall and stabilise the positioning and motion of the rotating reamer is enhanced.

    Abstract: A reaming tool for enlarging an underground borehole comprises a plurality of cutter assemblies (251, 252, 253) distributed azimuthally around a longitudinal axis of the tool, wherein each cutter assembly comprises support structure bearing a sequence of cutters (211-214) with leading surfaces facing in a direction of rotation of the tool and the sequence of cutters extends axially along the tool from an axial end (202) of the tool with the cutters positioned at radial distances from the tool axis which progressively increase as the sequence extends away from the axial end of the tool. The cutter assemblies include guiding structure (261-264) which is positioned circumferentially ahead of the leading faces of cutters of the sequence on the assembly. This guiding structure is configured such that the outline of the guiding structure is able to coincide with at least part of the notional surface described by the cutting outline of the preceding cutter assembly as the tool rotates, without any part of the guiding structure projecting outside that notional surface. This stabilises the positioning of the rotating tool in the borehole.
