IPS Mud Motors are designed according to the requirements of our directional drillers and clients, with particular emphasis on its resistance to extreme environments, simplicity and proven technology resulting in high performance. Operational requirements were established in conjunction with drilling companies and our customers. Through knowledge and experience, IPS Engineers have focused on improving the reliability, performance and maintenance costs that have yielded improvements in drilling efficiency at lower cost. The IPS downhole motor consists of four (4) main components:

• The Top Section: Box-up Connection to mate with Stabilizer or MWD and a Rotor Catcher.
• The Power Section: consisting of a rotor and a stator, which converts mechanical energy from hydraulic energy.  The power section of the tool converts hydraulic energy delivered to the motor into mechanical energy. This section consists of a stator and a rotor. The stator is fixed in relation to the pipe and is made of steel (outer part) and the interior has an elastomer. The steel rotor is molded with lobe profiles that resemble the stator, in a helical shape. When the rotor is inserted into the stator creates a passage for the fluid because the rotor has one less lobe than the stator, the fluid is forced through the cavity between the stator and rotor, resulting in the rotation of the latter.
• The Transmission Section: transmits rotary motion of the power section to section bearings and also features adjustable elbow – Bent Housing.  The transmission section transmits the speed and torque produced by the rotor and stator towards the bit.  IPS offers different configurations of rotor and stator, each designed to produce different power characteristics.
• Bearing Section: which Supports axial and radial loads during the drilling and transmits the rotary motion to the auger through a driveshaft. The bearing section is formed by a section of angular contact bearings which allows a uniform load distribution and greater weight on bit. In addition, this section of mud-lubricated bearing is radially supported along its entire length and can tolerate high lateral loads.
• Ball bearings generate less friction than that of diamond and carbide buttons.
• The bearing section is lubricated by mud.
• The variety of configurations rotor / stator allows one to tailor a High-Speed/Low-Torque tool or a Low-speed/High-Torque tool, depending in the application. Power sections are available in most sizes and configurations.
• A forged steel Drive Shaft can withstand the High Torque output of the power section.
• We have a choice of compact bearing sections, which places the elbow closer to the bit extra directional performance.

Components of the IPS downhole motors can be selected to optimize performance in each type of drilling conditions and some are interchangeable - stabilization sleeve (plain or stabilized) and a deflector elbow (known as a "bent housing") allows one to rotate and drill vertical sections, as well as the tangential and horizontal sections of the well, sliding at predetermined points to deviate the hole trajectory. Combination designs of the stators and rotors enable us to select the physical and chemical properties that allow the mud motors to operate in high temperatures and oil based emulsion muds through the use of certain elastomeric components in the stators.

Drilling Performance: The versatility and power of IPS Mud Motors makes them ideal for performance in drilling and directional drilling straight holes, increasing the rate of penetration (ROP) and reducing wear of the lining due to a lower rotation the string.

Directional Drilling: The compact design and high torque characteristics of the engines IPS background make them suitable for conventional directional drilling-navigation through a predetermined geometric path.
