Center Set to Deliver Advanced Drilling Tech: A new research and manufacturing facility dedicated to the improvement of drilling motors opens in Oklahoma

摘要

If one considers the drillbit to be the tip of the driller's spear, then the drilling motor is the oomph that drives it. Chewing through expanses of nearly impenetrable rock at faster speeds for longer intervals puts tremendous pressure on the bit, motor and more. Through advancements in engineering and manufacturing technologies, the design and development of drilling motors has improved significantly. Those advancements are set to continue with the opening of a new manufacturing and technology center by Baker Hughes, a GE company (BHGE), that is dedicated to advancing the performance, quality and reliability of downhole drilling motors.
