Ceradyne PetroCeram® collaborated with Ryan Energy Technologies on a short radius motor

The PetroCeram® patented bearing technology reduced the previous thrust bearing assembly by greater than 60%, yet...

- Maintained the same weight on bit rating as the medium radius motor
- Extended bearing longevity while maintaining reliability - 165 drilling hours
- Reduced the degree of bend required while achieving equivalent build rates

...allowing the curved and lateral sections to be drilled with one motor ultimately eliminating a trip.
