Description

ABSTRACT of Presentation

This presentation will offer an objective and comprehensive view on the most relevant engineering challenges that operators and directional service companies face when using Mud Motors for the demanding horizontal applications in every shale play in the United States. The value of innovation, sustaining engineering, and new developments able to cope with the higher output torque delivered by the newest power sections, and how to integrate those under the most demanding operations, will be discussed.

 Ingenious mechanical engineering approaches, combined with broad field experience and collaboration efforts, have resulted in the creation of mud motor designs that successfully achieve superior, reliable performance, thus helping to lower the total cost of ownership.

As will be discussed in this presentation, different business models are currently under discussion and evaluation with different stakeholders in the industry.  Through these discussions, both operators and service companies are looking at a holistic approach for the whole project cycle, from the concept of a new feature in the mud motor design, to anticipating how to get to the first manufactured designs in a matter of a few months and not years. This approach has helped to improve efficiency and overall performance while reducing non-productive time in the design and manufacturing of mud motors.
