  2. Mud motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mud_motor

    A mud motor (or drilling motor) is a progressive cavity positive displacement pump (PCPD) placed in the drill string to provide additional power to the bit while drilling. The PCPD pump uses drilling fluid (commonly referred to as drilling mud, or just mud) to create eccentric motion in the power section of the motor which is transferred as ...

  3. Rotary steerable system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_steerable_system

    In other words, a tool designed to drill directionally with continuous rotation from the surface, eliminating the need to "slide" a mud motor. The first known patent application is from Christopher G. Cross in 1873 for "Drills for Boring Artesian Wells", [ 1 ] followed in 1884 by the brothers Morris and Clarence Baker for a "Machine for ...

  4. Outboard motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outboard_motor

    An outboard motor is a propulsion system for boats, consisting of a self-contained unit that includes engine, gearbox and propeller or jet drive, designed to be affixed to the outside of the transom. They are the most common motorised method of propelling small watercraft.

  5. Sterndrive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterndrive

    The outdrive unit of a boat with sterndrive. A sterndrive or inboard/outboard drive (I/O) is a form of marine propulsion which combines inboard power with outboard drive. The engine sits just forward of the transom while the drive unit (outdrive or drive leg) lies outside the hull.

  6. Mud pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mud_pump

    A mud pump (sometimes referred to as a mud drilling pump or drilling mud pump), is a reciprocating piston/plunger pump designed to circulate drilling fluid under high pressure (up to 7,500 psi or 52,000 kPa) down the drill string and back up the annulus. A mud pump is an important part of the equipment used for oil well drilling.

  7. Mud systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mud_systems

    Surface mud systems. In the oil drilling industry, effective solids control can be attributed to the overall performance of all the components of the mud systems.Conditioning the drilling fluid with the goal of dramatically lowering maintenance cost, avoiding excessive chemical treatment and maintaining mud systems volume will decrease the chance of equipment failure, unnecessary high mud ...

  8. Suzuki Marine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_Marine

    In January 1954, the company changed its name to Suzuki Motor Co., Ltd. A year later, the first Suzuki automobile, Suzulight, went on sale. In 1965, the company marketed their first Suzuki outboard motor, D55. [5] When the second outboard motor, DT5, was produced in 1977, the corporation marketed it in the U.S. under the new brand Suzuki Marine.

  9. Mud engineer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mud_engineer

    Mud is a vital part of drilling operations. It provides hydrostatic pressure on the borehole wall to prevent uncontrolled production of reservoir fluids, lubricates and cools the drill bit, carries the drill cuttings up to the surface, forms a "filter-cake" on the borehole wall to prevent drilling fluid invasion, provides an information medium for well logging, and helps the drilling by ...
