TAQA launches Esaar™ mud motor, setting new standards for drilling durability, flexibility

TAQA (Industrialization & Energy Services Company) has unveiled its next-generation Esaar™ mud motor, engineered to deliver greater durability, adaptability, and serviceability across today’s increasingly complex drilling environments. The new design builds on more than five decades of downhole tool expertise and reflects direct feedback from field operations. 

At the core of Esaar™ is a custom mud-lubricated bearing pack designed to withstand high torque and corrosive conditions. The motor’s construction allows for rapid on-site servicing and maintenance, reducing downtime and enhancing overall efficiency. Available in sizes ranging from 4.75” to 11.75”, Esaar™ motors can be configured with straight or adjustable designs and stabilized or non-stabilized options.

Field trials have demonstrated the motor’s reliability across vertical wells, laterals, curves, geothermal drilling, and rotary steerable system (RSS) applications. According to TAQA, Esaar™ has already logged nearly 8,000 circulation hours and more than 672,000 feet of drilled footage, underscoring its resilience in demanding operations across the MENAT region.

“Esaar™ motors represent a step-change in drilling performance, prioritizing both durability and serviceability,” said Patrick Connors, TAQA Directional Technology Manager. “These motors are designed to help operators meet the cost and performance challenges of modern drilling with unmatched flexibility.”

By combining field-proven reliability with streamlined maintenance, TAQA said the new tool sets a benchmark for operational efficiency and performance in the competitive drilling landscape.
