Suppliers of special drill pipe for better hole cleaning

[DrillerNic]

Hello,

I'm looking for any names & suppliers of special drill pipe for hole cleaning & cuttings bed removal. I've found one name- Hydroclean, which has three larger OD spiral grooved sections along each joint (a bit like grooved HWDP). Does anyone know any other makers or suppliers of similar pipe? Do you have any useful experiences to pass on?

Thanks!

Not being close to the oil patch for many a year you might try these people as they might have something in that line as they have every other type drill pipe.
I use their calculators every once in a while.

drillerNic,

If you are still around here is a site that might be of interest. The prices don't look bad.
