Technology
MDS has unveiled our Magnum Series drilling motors, representing a substantial expansion of our product line. The Magnum Series motors represent a pioneering advancement within the drilling motor development sector. Within this line, we offer the 44 Magnum motor model, available in both standard oil lubricated and sealed versions, which excel in terms of torque, bearing load capacity, and extended oil retention. Additionally, we present the 44 Magnum HT model, featuring oil lubrication and sealing, with significantly enhanced torque capacity. Finally, our Magnum 357 mud lubricated model, characterized by a short bit to bend (SBTB) length, possesses the capability to efficiently drill all three sections of a well in a single trip.
Both mud lubricated and oil lubricated Bearing Assemblies are complemented by a distinctive, vibration-free transmission system, ensuring optimal performance, reliability, efficiency, and extended operational lifespan of our tools. MDS Magnum Motors are designed to maintain a consistent RPM and torque at the bit, thereby ensuring a constant rate of penetration (ROP) and extending the lifespan of both the motor and the drill bit. Our proprietary bearings are engineered to withstand prolonged radial and thrust loads, whether during bottom hole drilling or back reaming operations.
MDS offers Drilling Motors with surface-set adjustable 0-3 degree Bent Housing Assemblies or Fixed Bent Housings, all equipped with Rotor Catch Assemblies. Furthermore, our assortment includes near-bit stabilizers and offset kick pads, available upon request. Our motors are conceived with a primary emphasis on reliability and simplicity, delivering exceptional performance in the field and facilitating effortless servicing. All components adhere to rigorous quality standards and are crafted from premium materials, meeting the diverse requirements of various drilling applications.
