Abstract
A system, method and drill string component for directional drilling of a borehole in a formation is presented. The system includes a rotatable drill string, a rotatable drill bit comprising an intermediate space for receiving drilling fluid from the drill string and at least two nozzles for ejecting the drilling fluid. The system also includes a first rotor section, a flow diverter connected to a downhole end of the first rotor section, and a second rotor section being directly drivable by the drilling fluid and being rotatable with respect to the first rotor section in a second direction opposite to the first direction and at a second rotational speed (ω). In addition, the system includes a control unit for controlling the second rotational speed (ω) of the second rotor section with respect to the first rotor section.
