Operations Manual
Motor Setup The D-Tech tool does not require a downhole motor for the RST to function; however, it is recommended that mud motors are used in all applications. Mud motors are powerful, efficient tools to aid the drilling of wells and are continually increasing in reliability. D-Tech recommends the use of mud motors for three main reasons. 1. Minimize the effects of vibrations and stick-slip which is dangerous and challenging for RST tools. 2. Increase the energy at the bit; thus, increasing the ROP and improving the economics of the system. 3. Drill bits are generally designed for higher RPM and many drilling contractors will not operate their top drive or rigs at speeds over 180 RPM.
D-Tech has a general set of guidelines for mud motor configuration.
1. Fixed straight housing. 2. Slow speed / high torque power section. 3. Pin down extended mandrel (the use of pin x pin crossovers is also acceptable) Software D-Tech has developed a suite of user-friendly software solutions for both the field staff on location, and office-based personnel. The software is designed to be simple and effective to use and can be installed on almost any user’s smart phone, tablet, or PC. When beginning a new job, be sure to re-download the latest versions of the D-Tech software and apps. See Appendix C for software links.
