The path of a borehole can be altered in several different ways but only some of these techniques can be applied to diamond core drilling applications.
In recent years, positive displacement downhole motors have been used with increased success in mineral exploration projects and so, in this course, we will discuss practical aspects of the application of downhole motors to diamond core drilling operations.
This course consists of 3 modules:
Module 1: Components of a downhole motor
Module 2: Pressure losses when drilling with a downhole motor
Module 3: Downhole motor performance
