Tejas Tubular Drill Pipe
HDD Drill Pipe Solutions From Start To Finish
Through our partnership with Premier Drill Products, we can process all our HDD drill pipe from start to finish.
Manufacturing HDD drill pipe is serious business and our partner, Premier Drill Products, brings serious machinery, knowledge, and processes to an industry which demands a high degree of attention to detail. We require the same level of attention to detail and manufacturing quality controls as we expect for our oilfield drill pipe. Just because the pipe is smaller, does not mean the job is less important.
Other manufacturers depend on outside vendors to supply heat treatment. Our sister company enables us to save time and money, without sacrificing turnarounds or quality standards.

Drill Pipe QA
Drill Pipe Manufacturing & Quality Assurance
Tejas Tubular manufactures API drill pipe with precision-forged upsets, controlled heat treatment, and rigorous non-destructive testing. Every step is designed to ensure durability, strength, and performance under the extreme stresses of drilling operations.
OCTG-Grade Steel
All drill pipe begins with high-grade seamless steel tubing sourced from qualified mills. Each length is inspected for dimensional accuracy and chemical composition before processing.
Upsetting
Using in-house upsetters, tubing ends are hot forged according to API specifications to achieve the proper wall thickness transition for tool joints and connections.
Heat Treatment
Our induction and gas-fired furnaces perform quench & temper and normalize & temper processes to achieve the required mechanical properties and toughness for drilling applications.
Non-Destructive Testing (UTWL & EMI)
Every pipe undergoes Ultrasonic Weld-Line (UTWL) and Electromagnetic (EMI) inspection to detect internal and surface flaws, ensuring structural integrity and API compliance.
Straightening
After heat treatment, each pipe is hot or cross-roll straightened to achieve precise straightness tolerances and uniform wall distribution.
Weld Prep: “Turn & Face”
In order to get the best, and most consistent, weld on the inertia welder, the forged tubes need to have their outside diameters turned down and their weld surfaces machined (facing). This ensures that the weld area on each part being fused is equal in diameter and, that the faces are bonding uniformly during the inertia weld process.
Welding & Assembly
In partnership with Premier Drill Products, tool joints are friction welded to the pipe body under precise, controlled conditions. Each weld is inspected using ultrasonic and magnetic particle testing to ensure API 5DP compliance and consistent joint integrity.
Threading
Advanced CNC machining systems create precision API rotary shouldered connections. Thread geometry and finish are verified to ensure proper makeup torque and tight sealing.
Hardbanding
Phosphate & Coating
Threads are phosphate-treated to reduce galling during assembly, and each pipe receives a protective coating for corrosion resistance and easy identification.
