 X-treme Power Section
 High power and torque output
– 60% higher than conventional
mud motors
 Higher efficiency
 Contoured stator manufacturing
process
 90% reduction in rubber content
– Lower friction
– Lower distortion

Delivers reliability improvements

and extended run times

 Technology

 Reduced amount of Elastomer allows for increased

efficiency and greater power output than Ultra.

 Allows for 30-40 degrees F increased heat

resistance (295° F with standard elastomer)

 Robust design means fewer trips and longer

maintenance cycle time saving rig time.

 12-3/4" design will accept higher flow requirements

( up to 1740 gpm) of latest rig hydraulics packages.

 6-3/4” X-treme
 Why high speed motors instead of turbines?
– Torque at bit proportional to motor differential
pressure (easy control)
– Greater torque capabilities, use of more aggressive
bits possible
– Higher flow rate at same pressure drop
– Increased lifetime of bit (better cooling, no stalling)
– Higher efficiency at reduced flow rate
– Shorter length
– Use of Thrusters possible

Half Shell Adjustable Kick-Off (AKO)
 Cylindrical Thread replaced by Tapered Thread
– Improved Bending Moment Capacity
– Reduced Potential of Thread Galling
– Almost all tooth flanks are in contact
– stronger box
 Reduced Number of thread connections

 X-treme Benefits

 Increased ROP
 Higher Power Output
 Better Volumetric Efficiency
 Better Durability
 More Downhole Operating Hours
 Longer Maintenance Interval
 Broader Operating Range (e.g. Flowrate Regime,
Range of Borehole Diameter)
