Abstract
A modified tubular, particularly a drill pipe (12) has a composite non-rotating drill pipe protector assembly (1) including first and second composite collars (2, 3) provided as cooperating parts positionable around the drill pipe (12) and bondable thereto using bonding agent, a non-rotating composite protector shell (4), provided as cooperating shell parts and an internal polymeric radial bearing (7) which fits within a recess (41) within the non-rotating composite protector shell (4) and has an internal surface (10) configured to provide a plurality of internal fluid flow channels (11). An external surface of the non-rotating composite protector shell (4) has blades (14), spaced apart by fluid flow by-pass channels (24). In use the rotation of the drill pipe facilitates fluid movement within the non-rotating composite protector shell by creating a pumping effect inducing ingress of fluid and through-flow within the internal polymeric radial bearing (7).
