Abstract
A bottom hole assembly ('BHA') includes a driveshaft including a bore through which the drilling fluid is flowable. The BHA also includes a bearing assembly configured to rotatably support the driveshaft that includes a radial bearing with an internal radial gap; an annular flow restrictor with an inner sleeve and an outer sleeve separated by a restrictor clearance; and a bypass fluid flow path open to the bore and extending through the radial gap and the restrictor clearance such that at least some drilling fluid is diverted from the bore into the bypass fluid flow path. The restrictor clearance is sized to restrict flow of the drilling fluid diverted through the bypass fluid flow path to control a pressure of the drilling fluid in the driveshaft. The outer sleeve is dynamically radially supported such that a radial load absorbed by the annular flow restrictor is below a selected threshold.
