NOV Drilling Motors

Worlds largest independent

motor provider
300 million feet drilled
34 service facilities globally
Widest selection available:
Monoflo and R&M power
sections; oil-sealed and
mud-lube bearing assembly
Drilling Motor Sub-assemblies
Top Sub
A simple cross over sub between the drill string and stator
tube.
Typically has a top API rotary shoulder box and our
proprietary pin down.
Often available with optional float bore, BlackBox pocket,
or Downhole Tool Monitor API
Connection

MOTOR CATCH
STEM
ROTOR

The motor catch system has the additional feature of

an integral catch flange within the top sub
In case of connection failure, it will retrieve the motor
from the top sub down to the drill bit

Power Section Configurations
Power Section NOV Vector
Legacy NOV standard elastomer power section
Options:
Standard NBR elastomer
HNBR elastomer oil based mud / higher temperature
PowerPLUS Power Section
Maximum differential pressure limit is 150% of standard
elastomers
Speed output is the same at max differential pressure
Variations: PowerPLUS RR (PRR) and PowerPLUS OB (POB)
HEMIDRIL Even Wall Technology
Limit the amount of rubber

Conventional
Less leakage and less heat
Limit the amount of rubber
More pressure and torque
75% more pressure per stage
Elastomer
75% more torque

Driveshaft Assembly
Driveshaft Assembly

Converts the eccentric motion of the rotor to concentric motion input to the bearing
assembly.
Allows the motor to be bent and steered.
Carries thrust load from the rotor caused by the operating pressure across the power section.
Consists of two oil sealed universal joints connected by a shaft.
The upper joint connects to the rotor.
The lower joint connects to the bearing assembly.
Adjustable Assembly
Adjustable Assembly

Connects the stator to the bearing assembly

Simple four piece design
Field adjustable from 0 to 3 in twelve increments
Large internal clearance to maximize drive shaft size
and strength
Adjustable Housing
Procedure to adjust bend setting
Bearing Assembly
Oil-sealed Bearing Assembly
Bearings are oil lubricated.
Elastomeric seals are used to keep mud out of bearing chamber.
Either Bypass or No-Bypass design.

Advantages:
Lowest cost per hour in most applications.
Long service life for components.
The best option for air drilling applications.
No-Bypass designs are the best choice for running RSS below motor.

Disadvantages
Not well suited for hot hole application.
Risk of seal failure in gritty drilling fluids.
ST3 Sealed Bearing Technology

100% of the fluid exits at the bearing mandrel bit box

Ideal for rotary steerable applications:
Full flow to power rotary steerable
Full flow to bit yields:
Better bit and hole cleaning
Increased ROP proven, compared to 24XH motors
Better bit life
Mud-lubricated Bearing Assembly
Bearings are lubricated by drilling fluid.
Have two sets of flow bearings (upper and lower) to slow drilling
fluid velocity though bearings.
Flow bearings act as radial bearings.

Advantages:
Simplicity of service.
Well suited for hot hole applications.
Well suited for invasive drilling fluids.

Disadvantages:
Typically higher cost per hour.
Internal components start wearing immediately.
Not suitable for air or nitrogen drilling
ML3 Mud Lubricated Bearing

No elastomeric seals no downhole temperature

limitations
All sizes are rated for high torque power sections
NOV FluidHammer
FluidHammer Tool Overview

Power Section Straight, Fixed Bend, Hammer Assembly

or Adjustable Housing

Creates a high frequency axial motion directly above the bit

Integrates into the NOV ST3 bearing section, add-on to a traditional mud
motor
Oil-sealed with 100% of the flow going through the bit
Compatible with PDC and Roller Cone bits
Suitable for a variety of applications: hard rock, harsh rock, volcanics,
interbedded formations, performance drilling, and directional drilling
FluidHammer Tool Overview

Stroking effect is activated by WOB and torsional load of power section

Mechanism disengages when the bit is off-bottom preventing bit damage
Mechanical system built into the bearing assembly
No electrical components
No pressure pulses or added pressure drop
No compatibility issues with other BHA components
