  2. 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 ...

  3. 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 ...

  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. Measurement while drilling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measurement_while_drilling

    Mud flow volume; Mud Motors. Use of this information can allow the operator to drill the well more efficiently, and to ensure that the MWD tool and any other downhole tools, such as a mud motor, rotary steerable systems, and LWD tools, are operated within their technical specifications to prevent tool failure. This information is also valuable ...

  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. Marine propulsion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_propulsion

    A pump-jet, hydrojet, water jet, or jet drive uses a ducted propeller (axial-flow pump), centrifugal pump, or mixed flow pump to create a jet of water for propulsion. These incorporate an intake for source water and a nozzle to direct its flow out, generating momentum, and in most cases, employing thrust vectoring to steer the craft.
