摘要
A method of earth drilling with a sealed bearing assembly and a sealed bearing assembly. A first step involves providing a bearing assembly that has a bearing chamber sealed with fixed sealing assemblies of axially aligned seals, including a primary seal and back up seals. The sealing assemblies are capable of withstanding an intended pressure differential. A second step involves drilling with the earth drilling assembly in a downhole environment in which pressure within the bearing chamber is at hydrostatic pressure with the relative pressure differential caused by pumping activity being borne by the fixed sealing assemblies. The bearings and back up seals positioned within the sealed bearing chamber operate under relatively low pressure thereby prolonging bearing and seal life.
