Abstract

A down hole motor assembly with a locking mechanism, and methods for operating said down hole motor assembly. The down hole motor has a housing operatively connectable at an upper end to a drill string. A shaft is disposed within the housing and operatively connected to a motor portion of the down hole motor. A locking mechanism is configured to selectively transmit torque from the housing to the shaft when engaged.

Claims (18)

1. A down hole motor comprising:

a housing operatively connectable at an upper end to a drill string;

a shaft disposed within the housing and operatively connected to a motor portion of the down hole motor; and a locking mechanism configured to selectively transmit torque from the housing to the shaft when engaged.
2. The down hole motor of claim 1, wherein the down hole motor is one selected from the group consisting of a turbine, a positive displacement motor, and an electric motor.
3. The down hole motor of claim 1, wherein the locking mechanism is disposed on a lower end of the shaft.
4. The down hole motor of claim 1, wherein the locking mechanism selectively transmits torque from the housing to the shaft when a rotational speed of the shaft is less than a rotational speed of the housing.
5. The down hole motor of claim 1, wherein the locking mechanism is configured to be disengaged.
6. A method of operating a down hole motor disposed in a well bore, the method comprising:

rotating a shaft disposed within a housing of the down hole motor, the shaft being operatively connected to a motor portion of the down hole motor;

applying torque from a surface rotary tool to a drill string attached to an upper end of the housing; and engaging a locking mechanism disposed in the down hole motor such that torque is transmitted from the housing to the shaft, wherein the engaging occurs when a rotational speed of the housing is greater than a rotational speed of the shaft.
7. The method of claim 6, wherein the down hole motor is one selected from the group consisting of a turbine, a positive displacement motor, and an electric motor.
8. The method of claim 6, further comprising:

disengaging the locking mechanism by rotating the shaft using the motor portion of the down hole motor.
9. The method of claim 6, further comprising:

stopping the rotation of the shaft due to a drill bit attached to the drill string becoming stuck; and returning to drilling with the down hole motor after the drill bit is free, wherein the down hole motor is not tripped out of the well bore before returning to drilling.
10. A method of operating a down hole motor disposed in a well bore, the method comprising:

rotating a shaft disposed within a housing of the down hole motor, the shaft being operatively connected to a motor portion of the down hole motor;

engaging a locking mechanism disposed in the down hole motor such that torque is transmitted from the housing to the shaft;

applying torque from a surface rotary tool to a drill string attached to an upper end of the housing; and disengaging the locking mechanism, wherein the down hole motor is not tripped out of the well bore to disengage the locking mechanism.
11. The method of claim 10, wherein the down hole motor is one selected from the group consisting of a turbine, a positive displacement motor, and an electric motor.
12. The method of claim 10, wherein the disengaging occurs when a rotational speed of the shaft is greater than a rotational speed of the housing.
13. The method of claim 10, wherein the engaging occurs when a rotational speed of the housing is greater than a rotational speed of the shaft.
14. The method of claim 10, further comprising:

stopping the rotation of the shaft due to a drill bit attached to the drill string becoming stuck.
15. A method for freeing a drill bit operatively connected to a shaft that is operatively connected to a motor portion of a down hole motor, the down hole motor comprising a housing and the shaft, the housing being operatively connected at an upper end to a drill string, the method comprising:

applying torque from a surface rotary tool to the drill string; and engaging a locking mechanism disposed in the down hole motor such that torque is transmitted from the housing to the shaft to free the drill bit.
16. The method of claim 15, further comprising:

returning to drilling with the down hole motor after the drill bit is free, wherein the down hole motor is not tripped out of the well bore before returning to drilling.
17. The method of claim 15, further comprising:

retrieving the drill bit and the down hole motor from the well bore after freeing the drill bit.
18. The method of claim 15, wherein the down hole motor is one selected from the group consisting of a turbine, a positive displacement motor, and an electric motor.
