This market has experienced tremendous growth in recent years due to advances in both drilling and production technology.  The reliability, durability, and drilling performance requirements of power sections have in turn grown exponentially.  Horizontals continue to get longer and hotter.  The high torque and power potential of both Moyno® ERT™ and conventional power sections have helped fuel the growth of this drilling segment, along with the excellent fluid compatibility and reliable operation provided by Moyno’s UltraFlex® elastomers.

This market typically requires power sections that run at slow speeds to minimize damage to the drill bit during formation changes and high torque to ensure that power transfer to the formation is maximized.  R&M Energy Systems has an extensive selection of HTS power sections that were designed for this market.

The requirements of the directional drilling market can be quite varied.  R&M Energy Systems has over 125 power section models, three UltraFlex® elastomers and up to four different stator sizes for some models to ensure that the right power section is available for any application.

The growth in horizontal drilling has fueled a dramatic change in power section requirements for this market, primarily in terms of the number of plugs milled in each well.  Milling 15, 20 or more plugs in a single run is now common.  The use of high torque Moyno® power sections such as the 2-7/8” ERT™ ensures that plugs are milled quickly and reliably.
