How to choose the right downhole motor part 2

The Influence of the type of mud for downhole motor


If used in salt water mud, corrosion resistance of the conventional rotor less effective, lead to the mud motors failure in serious condition, also direct impact on the life of the mud motors.

Rotor coating:

Surface spray coating:


To adapt mud motor to a variety of drilling mud , but costs are high, the coating is 10 times than the normal, more saturated salt water mud conditions in use.

Thick rotor coating process:


Common technology on chrome-coating depending on the surface shape of the rotor creates large tolerance between actual streamline and the academic streamline of the rotor, which will reduce the efficiency of the power section. Special chroming coating technics by landrill will control the rate between apex and vale of the coating control to 1:3, Best of up to 1:1

Choose right mud motor according to the flow rate and the power of Mud pump


Hollow rotor mud motor

To increase hydraulic horsepower and upward speed of mud stream, rotor is manufactured into hollow rotor with nozzles. Thus, motor total flow rate is equal to the sum of the flow rate  through seal  cavity and rotor. Each type of motor has  its own recommended  maximum and    minimum flow rate value. If flow rate  is too high, rotor may be running at over speed, earlier   damage would occur onto stator and rotor. If it is too low, motor will stop operating. Therefore,  the flow rate through seal cavity shall be ensured or even higher than the recommended            maintenance value, while selecting nozzle size. Only in this way, can mud motor be kept in normal   operation. 
When mud density, nozzle size and total flow  rate is a constant value, the flow rate through nozzle and seal cavity always changes with the load. On bit leaving hole bottom ,the load is approximately zero . Whereas, the flow rate becomes minimum through nozzle on the rotor, but the flow rate becomes maximum through the seal cavity. While the bit dropping down, motor pressure loss will continuously increase, and the flow rate through rotor nozzle will become higher, but the flow rate through the seal cavity will become lower.

The principle of choosing ABH or fixed mud motor

1. Stepless adjustment of sub-grade and two structural adjustment.


2. Adjustable Bend Housing mud motors advantages:
The angle of housing can adjust at wellhead of Drilling platform Motors can be used either for straight use as a bend motors

Adjustable bend housing:

Our company is the production of adjustable bent housing mud motor with adjustable angle range of 0 ° -2 °, 0 ° -3 °, 0 ° -4 °.

How to choose the right downhole motor part 1

Landrill developed series of downhole motor specifications from 43-286mm , Total 24 models:43 、45、54 、60 、73 、89 、95 、102 、105、120 、127 、140、159 、165 、172 、178 、185、197 、203 、210 、216、228、244 、286mm.

How to choose the right OD of landrill mud motor ?


When drilling in downhole,the size of bit should be used according to the following list . if not, the probability of accidents will increase ,such as sticking of tool, shaft rupture and falling in well,etc..
downhole motor size


The influenceof No. of stage and lobe for landrill mud motor


Spiral seal line on rotor is divided into single end and multi-end (stator with one more end than rotor) .The less ends the mud motor has the higher speed and the lower torque is . The more ends it has the lower torque is. The moroe ends it has the lower speed and the higher torque. We can produce the ratio is 1:2、3:4、5:6、7:8、9:10 downhole motors , shows the sectional profile of several typical motors

Division of critical temperature for working in downhole for landrill downhole motor


According to the temperature of the stator to provide the following specifications:

Note: High temperature motors for conventional wells is difficult to obtain good results



By Media offers the following specifications of the stator:


ZZJ-02 (Conventional Stator elastomer): For common mud system, the use of temperature below 120 ℃, the stator elastomer is high strength, wear resistance, long life under conventional temperature operation.

ZYN-02 (Oil Resistqancethe stator elastomer): For oil-based mud system and common mud system, temperature below 120 ℃in oil-based mud that has excellent oil capacity expansion characteristics.

ZGYN-180 (high-temperature oil-base mud the stator elastomer): use in high temperature, high oil mud system, the elastomer used under the conditions of 180 ℃and high oil content, the show results: high-oil-resistant adhesive strength under high temperature , tear strength and other properties remain high, plus a reasonable amount of interference co-ordination, oil-resistant rubber in high-temperature, high-oil-based mud conditions can have a better use of results, now in the Liaohe, Daqing, Xinjiang oilfield successful running.
