OSTI ID:6426879
The successful development and evaluation of seals and lubricants for journal-type rock bits for use in geothermal reservoirs are described. Elastomeric compounds which sealed effectively to temperatures of 288/sup 0/C (550/sup 0/F), and mechanical seals for reservoir temperatures over 288/sup 0/C (550/sup 0/F) are presented. Newly developed lubricants which meet both the compatibility and lubrication requirements are described. Several seals and lubricants are recommended for high temperature laboratory drilling and field geothermal drilling tests in rollercone bits.
