PDM
Overview
• Type of BHA
• Directional BHA
• Downhole Motor
• Positive Displacement Motor (PDM) focus of this sharing session
Type of BHA
• Rotary BHA
• Slick
• Pendulum
• Fulcrum
• Packed Hole
• Directional BHA
• PDM
• Turbine Motor
Slick BHA
• No stabs used
• Bit, DC, HWDP, DP only
• Tendency : Dropping (hard to control)
• Difficult to predict position of tangent point
Pendulum BHA
• Use stabs and DC
• Tendency : Dropping
• DCs above bit provide pendulum effect
• Number of DC affects the dropping tendency
• Stab above DC acts as tangent point
• Drop is effective at high inclination, less effective at low inclination
• Lower WOB, increase drop tendency
• Higher RPM and GPM, higher drop tendency
Pros and Cons of Dropping BHA
Pros Cons
Slick • Low Cost • Less Predictable (unclear tangent length)
• Higher contact area due to no stabs
(Higher risk of getting differentially stick)
Pendulum • Higher Cost (due to stabs) • More Predictable (clear tangent length)
• Stabs reduce contact area • Applying more stabs increase the risk of
packed-off

Bearing Assembly
• 2 main functions of Bearing Assembly:
• Transfer axial load to bit (thrust bearing)
• Maintain central position of drive shaft (radial bearing)
• 2 types of Bearing Assembly:
• Sealed bearing
• No flow restrictor
• Oil lubricated
• Mud-lubricated bearing
• Has flow restrictor
• 4-10% fluid diverted to bearings for lubrication and cooling
• Bearings are critical (especially thrust bearing)
• Bearing wear is determined by bearing gap
• It must be measured before and after drilling
Turbine Motor (Brief Information)
• Based on reversed dynamic pump
• Has stator and rotor, both are in bladed-shape
• Stators are fixed to the body
• Rotors are mounted to vertical shaft
• Number of stage is determined by number of
stator-rotor pair
• Commonly use offset stab
