A single run, downhole powered, casing drilling tool with a design that uses a simple but revolutionary technique of using multiple slim hole positive displacement motors mounted on the casing string to drive a single casing drilling shoe. To compliment this tool, a steerable design is also being developed which has the potential to revolutionise well construction and challenges the use of drill pipe completely.
