A study has been performed to determine the technical and economic feasibility of using an electric drilling motor to drill open hole with coiled tubing. An historical review of electric motor drilling was performed, a conceptual design was developed and a market analysis was performed. This paper summarizes the findings from this study. For more details on this study see reference 1.
