A high percentage of mud motors are considered to be run out of spec by industry standards. The challenge has been to build a reliable motor that can withstand the stresses of more weight on bit, differential pressure, and rotary RPM.
Nabors’ Blue Force® steerable mud motors are maintained with the strictest quality control, resulting in excellent reliability. Features include:
Mud-lubricated bearing design – not affected by mud type or temperature
Proven short bit-to-bend design offers ability to achieve build rates with less bend
Utilization of multiple elastomers and types from qualified vendors to suit specific customer applications
Multiple power section configurations available to suit a variety of drilling environments
Heavy duty transmission to accommodate high-torque power sections
Additionally, vertical drilling motors are available that can be configured for any hole size. Benefits of vertical drilling motors include:
Wellbore quality improvements
Rate of penetration (ROP) improvements
Longer bit runs
Mitigation of deviation control issues
Reduced non-productive time (NPT)
Significant vibration reduction
