Economic incentives for improved geothermal drilling motors
The ways that reliable high temperature drilling motors could reduce geothermal drilling are reviewed. These are: faster drilling, increased bit footage, improved drilling of fractured rock, improved directional drilling, reduced hole deviation, reduced blowouts, reduced casing wear, reduced keyseating, reduced twist-offs, improved milling operations, improved sidetracking, improved slim hole drilling, reduced mud problems, reduced lost circulation, reduced drillstring corrosion, reduced drillstring vibrations, improved data telemetry, and reduced drillstring failures.
