Technology

Reduced amount of Elastomer allows for increased

efficiency and greater power output than Ultra.

Allows for 30-40 degrees F increased heat

resistance (295 F with standard elastomer)

Robust design means fewer trips and longer

maintenance cycle time saving rig time.

12-3/4" design will accept higher flow requirements

( up to 1740 gpm) of latest rig hydraulics packages.

6-3/4 X-treme

Why high speed motors instead of turbines?

Torque at bit proportional to motor differential
pressure (easy control)
Greater torque capabilities, use of more aggressive
bits possible
Higher flow rate at same pressure drop
Increased lifetime of bit (better cooling, no stalling)
Higher efficiency at reduced flow rate
Shorter length
Use of Thrusters possible
