Thin wall rods are engineered to improve wireline drilling efficiency by reducing drill string weight while maintaining strength and dimensional accuracy. Designed for demanding exploration conditions, these thin wall wireline rods enhance penetration rates, flushing performance, and overall operational reliability.

Rods for wireline core drilling

All our wireline rods are manufactured in our own production facility located in Carros, France. By fully controlling the manufacturing process internally, we ensure consistent quality, traceability, and performance. Our objective is simple: to provide reliable, high-performance solutions that meet the demanding requirements of wireline core drilling operations worldwide.

Thanks to our in-house expertise and industrial capabilities, each rod is produced according to strict dimensional and metallurgical standards, guaranteeing durability, precision, and compatibility with international wireline systems.

How thin wall rods have been designed?

Our thin wall rods are specifically engineered for wireline core drilling applications where reduced weight, improved penetration rates, and optimized core recovery are essential. By reducing wall thickness while maintaining mechanical strength, these rods allow for higher drilling efficiency and lower energy consumption.

The thinner wall design increases the internal diameter while keeping the external diameter compatible with standard wireline tools. This results in better flushing, smoother core retrieval, and improved overall drilling productivity.

BTW thin wall wireline rods

Our BTW wireline rods are a key part of this range. Manufactured with precision machining and high-quality steel grades, they provide an excellent balance between strength and weight. The rods are available in multiple standard lengths and are fully compatible with BTW wireline systems.

Key advantages of our BTW rods include:

• Optimized wall thickness for reduced drill string weight
• High dimensional accuracy for reliable connections
• Excellent wear resistance for extended service life
• Compatibility with recommended saver subs to protect the drill string

All dimensional characteristics, lengths, and packaging options are defined to meet international drilling standards and facilitate logistics on site.
