Mud Lubricated Drilling Motor

Our customers tell us that when running Rotary Steerable Systems (RSS), the benefits of smooth and precise drilling can be met with higher operating costs and higher lost-in-hole exposure. They’ve also told us that RSS drilling requires a steady, controlled flow of drilling fluid to achieve an efficient ROP. So, we took this feedback and designed a motor specifically for RSS applications.

Customers have also told us that the Matador delivers exceptional results in conventional directional drilling applications (without an RSS attached). Just ask us to configure the bearing assembly with a standard bit box and bent housing.

Perhaps our most adaptable motor design, the WZL M6 oil sealed bearing assembly gives directional drillers high weight-on-bit and load capacity alongside customizable bypass control for precise directional drilling. When fit with an optional pin-down mandrel and straight housing, the M6 becomes an excellent option for RSS drilling applications.

The M6 can also be built with a large bit box and shortened driveline for horizontal directional drilling (HDD) applications.

Mud Lubricated Bearing Assemblies

Mud lubricated bearing assemblies are the choice of drillers looking for maximum operating torques and weight-on-bit loads, and those operating in extreme drilling conditions.

Oil Sealed Bearing Assemblies

As the name suggests, oil sealed bearing assemblies separate moving parts from drilling fluid in a sealed oil-lubricated assembly. This design keeps cuttings and debris out of bearings to improve reliability and reduce service costs.

Different formations, depths and prognoses make a one-size-fits-all approach to drilling tools impossible. Outfit your motor with the housings, driveline, bend and connections that you need for success.
