A method of stabilizing a downhole drilling motor. A first step involves securing a plurality of vanes to an exterior surface of a stator housing of the drilling motor. A second step involves passing a flow of drilling fluids past the exterior surface of the stator housing between the vanes to create an area of pressure differential and using such pressure differential to protect the stator housing from becoming differentially stuck while drilling.

Why it's free to use
- Filed September 2, 2003 and granted January 18, 2011. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended September 2, 2023.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by September 2, 2025.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
