Herbert, P

The paper describes a new generation of positive displacement downhole mud motors designed for long interval straight hole drilling with natural or man-made diamonds bits or with conventional three-cone rock bits. Field results have demonstrated that these motors are now cost-competitive with rotary drilling methods. The advantages of increased penetration, deviation control and reduced casing wear contribute to a lower cost per foot of hole drilled compared to rotary techniques. 3 refs.
