Lubra-Glide “CE”
Co-Polymer Beads®
The only bead made exclusively
for the petroleum industry
AND
They are made by SUN!
¨ ¨ Reduces torque and drag
¨ Reduces casing wear
¨ Nearly twice as many beads per pound than glass or ceramic
¨ Is non-abrasive
¨ Is recoverable using Sun’s patented process
¨ Is thermally stable up to 500°F
¨ Is compatible with both oil and water base mud
¨ Is environmentally safe
¨ Resistance to deformation is greater than 25,000 psi hydrostatic, thermally stable down hole to 500°F in a drilling environment
¨ Is manufactured in fine or coarse sizes
Physical Properties
¨ Form: Spherical Solid Bead
¨ Color: Clear
¨ Specific gravity: 1.06
Application
¨ Concentrations of 2 – 8 ppb (5.71 – 22.87 Kg/m3) will be sufficient to control torque and drag
¨ Concentrations of 8 –12 ppb (22.87 – 34.31 Kg/m3) will be sufficient for spotting in wire line operations and running casing
¨ Lubra-Glide “CE” Co-polymer Beads® (coarse and fine) should mix through the mud-mixing hopper
Packaging
¨ Lubra-Glide “CE” Co-polymer Beads ® is available in 50 lbs (22.6 Kg) sacks, 48 or 50 sacks per pallet
Typical Uses for LUBRA-GLIDE "CE" CO-POLYMER BEADS®
¨ Spot in hole prior to running casing or liners
¨ Spot in hole prior to logging operations
¨ Allows 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 in coil tubing operations or with work strings
¨ Lubricant for OBM or SBM
¨ Aids in prevention of differential sticking when using OBM or SBM
¨ Aids in directional changes or sliding
