Abstract:
A drill string system includes a drill bit disposed at a distal end of a drill string. A clutch is coupled with the drill bit. A mud motor is coupled to the clutch, and the mud motor is operable to receive a drilling fluid therein and transfer torque to the drill bit through the clutch. The clutch disengages upon application of a torque exceeding a predetermined threshold.
