HOUSTON –Sperry Drilling, a Halliburton (NYSE: HAL) business line, has introduced the SperryDrill® XL/XLS and GeoForce® XL/XLS series motors to its fleet of positive displacement drilling motors.
SperryDrill and GeoForce XL and XLS series motors offer novel downhole drilling motor technology for harsh drilling conditions and special applications such as air drilling, extended-reach drilling and high-temperature drilling. According to a company news release, the new motors can be configured to suit any drilling environment, balancing power and durability to deliver unsurpassed performance and reliability in a positive displacement mud motor.
The XL and XLS series motors, according to Halliburton, afford more consistent power delivery to the bit while retaining power in reserve to withstand the toughest drilling conditions. In addition to providing up to 80% more power, the XL and XLS series motors are able to achieve higher build rates unattainable with conventional motors because of a shorter bit-to-bend.
