How does the power section of a directional drilling mud motor work?
The power section of a mud motor in directional drilling converts the hydraulic energy of the drilling fluid into rotational horsepower. This section contains the top sub, rotor catch, stator, and rotor. The rotor and stator harness the pressure and flow of the hydraulic fluid to create torque and RPM, spinning the drill bit.
