STALLASSIST® SOFTWARE PROLONGS LIFE OF WEAK MOTOR TO AVOID UNPLANNED TRIP

A Well Site Leader working on a rig in West Texas' Delaware Basin identified that their conventional mud motor was stalling at a much lower differential pressure than the motor was supposed to be rated for, indicating that the motor in hole was weak.

H&P recommended the newly released StallAssist® software which is designed to detect, mitigate, and recover from downhole stalls. As pressure is reaching the stall rating, the system continually and simultaneously evaluates several factors, including: pressure, the speed in which the pressure is rising, and motor specifications. These dynamic, real-time calculations help lessen the severity of pressure that is outside motor limitations.
