Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-002723

A downhole motor powered by the flow of drilling fluid, used to rotate the drill bit independently of the drill string. This allows for directional drilling and improved control over bit rotation, especially in horizontal sections. PDMs are commonly used with bent subs to steer the wellbore.
