To add a new stand of drill pipe or casing to the drill string during drilling operations. This involves stopping circulation, lifting the drill string, and screwing the new pipe section into the existing string. The process is a routine part of extending the wellbore depth and requires careful coordination between the driller and the rig crew to maintain well control.
