Method optimizes hydraulics with PDM and bit  To meet the
challenges of extended-reach drilling, deep and ultradeepwater
wells, and horizontal completions, the drilling industry has
dramatically increased its use of downhole positive displacement
motors (PDM) during the past few years.With these wells pushing
the limits of rigs and equipment, it is imperative that
operators use motors optimally in the system.More often,
however, drilling engineers do not include downhole motor
pressure-loss calculations in the overall hydraulic optimization
and bit-nozzle selection with the available pump power.To make
the system more effective, engineers must take into
consideration various motor and drilling parameters for
hydraulic optimization. T...  Why Register?   Why Subscribe?
