Abstract: A hydraulic tool includes a stator and a rotor rotatably disposed within the stator. At least one of at least an inner portion of the stator and at least an outer portion of the rotor includes an insert comprising a hard material. A method of forming a hydraulic tool includes attaching at least one insert comprising a hard material to a surface of a stator or a surface of a rotor. A downhole motor or pump includes a stator and a rotor. The stator includes at least one insert comprising a hard material disposed over at least a portion of an interior surface thereof and a matrix material at least partially surrounding the at least one insert. The rotor includes at least one insert disposed over at least a portion of an exterior surface thereof and a matrix material at least partially surrounding the at least one insert.

Abstract: A downhole mud motor includes, a stator, a rotor in operable communication with the stator, and a plurality of nanoparticles embedded in at least a portion of the stator

Abstract: A fluid applicator includes, a tubular configured to transport a fluid therethrough, and a rotatable member in operable communication with the tubular such that fluid transported through the tubular is deposited at the rotatable member near a rotational center of the rotatable member. The rotatable member is configured to produce sufficient centrifugal forces on the fluid through rotation thereof to urge the fluid radially outwardly from the rotatable member to coat an inside of an earth formation borehole tool.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a downhole mud motor. The mud motor includes, a stator, a rotor in operable communication with the stator, a polymer in operable communication with the stator and the rotor, and a plurality of carbon nanotubes embedded in the polymer.

Abstract: A method of making a drilling motor for use in a wellbore includes defining a profile for an inner surface of a stator; configuring at least one cutting element on a support to at least partially form the profile; translating the support through a bore of the stator such that the at least one cutting element engages the inner surface of the stator; and forming a helical passage using the at least one cutting element by causing relative rotation between the stator and the support.
