Lubra-Glide CE Co-Polymer Beads® are spherical solid beads that provide mechanical lubrication, significanly reducing drill string wear and casing wear prevention through stand off and impact absorption.
Advantages
- Reduces torque and drag
- Reduces drill string and casing wear significantly
- Nearly twice the beads/pound than 2.0 SG material
- Is non-abrasive to equipment
- Is recoverable using Sun’s patented process
- Is compatible with both oil and water-based fluids
- Is environmentally safe
- Resistance to deformation >25,000 psi hydrostatic
- Thermally stable downhole >450°F in a drilling environment
- Manufactured in fine or coarse grades
Typical Uses
- Spot prior to running casing or liners
- Spot prior to logging operations
- Spot while drilling to transfer more true weight to bit
- Spot in key seats to reduce torque, drag and sticking problems
- Apply Lubra-Glide CE Co-Polymer Beads® Fine Beads for torque and drag reduction in coil tubing operations or with work strings
- Lubricant for both OBM or SBM
- Reduces risk of differential
- Aids in directional changes or while sliding
Physical Properties
- Form: Spherical Solid Bead
