Abstract

See full text

A downhole tool may be operated using a locking clutch. The downhole tool may include an upper downhole motor having a rotor. The downhole tool may also include a lower downhole motor having a shaft. Both the rotor and shaft may rotate relative to the housing. The locking clutch may be coupled to the rotor and the shaft, and may transmit a torque from the rotor to the shaft. The locking clutch may include at least one locking pawl configured to move from an engaged position to a disengaged position when the shaft rotates above a disengagement speed. In the engaged position, the upper downhole motor may provide a torque boost to limit sticking or stall of a drill bit coupled to the downhole tool.
