Operational Performance Requirements For Motor Power Sections Used in Geothermal Drilling Based Upon Minimum Specific Energy

Sep 10, 2014
869.71 kB
Publicly accessible
Operational performance requirements are needed to support development of specifications for downhole motor power sections to be used for drilling hard rock during geothermal wellbore construction. Theoretical torque specifications are derived based upon a widely-accepted rock-re...
