    A drill string transmits drilling fluid and torque from mud pumps and a kelly drive or top drive to the drill bit. It is composed of drill pipe, drill collars, tools, and the drill bit, forming a hollow column through which drilling fluid can be pumped down and circulated back up through the annulus between the drill string and casing or open hole.

    A drill string on a drilling rig is a column, or string, of drill pipe that transmits drilling fluid (via

    the mud pumps) and torque (via the kelly drive or top drive) to the drill bit. The term is loosely
    applied to the assembled collection of the drill pipe, drill collars, tools and drill bit. The drill
    string is hollow so that drilling fluid can be pumped down through it and circulated back up
    the annulus (the void between the drill string and the casing/open hole).
