Drilling operations in HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature) environments impose cyclic thermal and mechanical loads that can induce dimensional drift. Sub assembly plates are machined using sub-micron tolerance control and subjected to multi-axis CNC profiling followed by double-stage stress relief annealing. These processes ensure stability of concentricity, face parallelism, and perpendicularity over extended use. The result is consistent joint interface performance, elimination of face runout deviations, and preserved structural alignment under fluctuating borehole pressures.
Downhole assemblies are frequently subjected to NDT protocols such as UT, MPI, and EMI, requiring sub assembly components to exhibit consistent magnetic permeability and acoustic impedance characteristics. Material selection for these plates is constrained to homogenous low-permeability alloys (µr ≤ 1.01) with tightly regulated inclusion content and directional grain orientation. Post-machining demagnetization and residual field assessments are conducted to maintain NDT compatibility without distorting signal propagation in proximity to MWD/LWD electronics or EMI-sensitive modules.
Contact surfaces between the sub assembly plate and adjoining drill collar sections require precise surface flatness and micro-finish characteristics to prevent localized stress concentrations. Face lapping to below 0.8 µm Ra combined with controlled circularity and flatness tolerances ensures optimized load transfer and minimizes the risk of fretting corrosion at the interface. This is critical in reducing micro-movement during high-torque transitions and maintaining static sealing integrity in pressure-tight assemblies.

Supports high axial load transmission in extended-reach wells while maintaining alignment between collars under compressive stresses.
Provides structural stability and thermal resistance in environments exceeding 20,000 psi and 400°F during drilling operations.
Maintains geometric alignment in non-vertical wells where lateral forces and torsional vibration induce complex stress profiles on sub-components.
Integrates with low-permeability tool strings, enabling interference-free operation of magnetic field sensors and telemetry systems.
Fabricated from H2S-resistant alloys to mitigate sulfide stress cracking under hydrogen-induced embrittlement conditions.
Adapts to dynamic cyclic loading in coiled tubing applications requiring precise alignment and resistance to bending fatigue.
Drill collar sub assembly plates frequently integrate thread profiles such as NC, IF, or custom API-compliant geometries. Thread zones are machined using calibrated threading cycles with strict flank angle and pitch diameter tolerances, followed by cold rolling or burnishing for enhanced surface hardness. Threaded sections undergo dye penetrant inspection, pitch runout measurement, and controlled thread compound application.
Each sub assembly plate is manufactured from traceable mill-certified bar stock or forgings with recorded heat numbers and full mechanical test data. Heat treatment batches are mapped and tagged with corresponding MTCs, hardness profiles, and grain flow orientation charts. This traceability supports lifecycle tracking, recall readiness, and compliance with metallurgical audits in drilling asset registries.

Frigate uses controlled CNC face milling followed by precision lapping to achieve flatness below 0.8 µm Ra. This reduces the risk of point loading and preserves full-face contact during axial compression. Surface deviation is verified using coordinate metrology under load simulation. Such accuracy prevents micro-movement and fretting at joint interfaces.
Frigate maintains concentricity within ±0.01 mm and parallelism within ±0.015 mm across the plate diameter. These tight tolerances reduce eccentric torque loads during high-RPM drilling. Precision ensures consistent stress paths between collar sections. Each plate undergoes 3D metrology validation before dispatch.
Frigate uses low-permeability austenitic alloys with certified µr ≤ 1.01 for EMI-sensitive environments. Material batches are spectrally verified and demagnetized post-machining. Final assemblies are scanned for magnetic anomalies using Gaussmeter mapping. This ensures compatibility with magnetic and gyro-based downhole tools.
Frigate conducts rotary bending fatigue and thermal cycle simulation on prototype plates. Stress thresholds are validated beyond expected downhole axial-torsional loads. Results are benchmarked against fatigue limits of API-compatible joints. Data from testing informs design thresholds for critical applications.
Each plate is tagged with a unique heat number linked to full MTC, grain flow, and hardness data. Frigate integrates digital traceability into its production system, including UT and MPI test records. Clients receive structured documentation for QA integration. This supports audit readiness and component lifecycle tracking.
