In a well where temperatures commonly exceeded 280 degF [138 degC], an operator in the Middle East needed to drill a section shoe to shoe in a single run while using an aggressive oil-base mud. In previous runs, motor failures due to the elastomer were common, causing multiple trips and excessive NPT. Schlumberger suggested using the PowerDrive vorteX powered rotary steerable system with the Powerlast life-extending motor elastomer from Dyna-Drill.
