Abstract
A drilling motor system for drilling a subterranean well includes a stator tube, the stator tube being an elongated tubular member with a central stator bore. A stator elastomer layer is located within the central stator bore, lining a wall of the central stator bore. The stator elastomer layer has an elastomer bore that includes a plurality of stator lobes extending in a helical pattern along an axial length of the central bore. A rotor is located within the elastomer bore, the rotor being an elongated member that includes a plurality of rotor lobes extending in a helical pattern along an axial length of the rotor. The stator elastomer layer includes a failure detection system, the failure detection system operable to identify a region of damaged stator elastomer layer.
