Details
Highlights
- Successfully and predictably reduces the control fluid density
- Prevents or minimizes fluid loss/lost circulation and formation damage
- Incompressible and more homogeneous control fluid properties compared with foamed and aerated systems
- Eliminates the need for specialized equipment used in foamed and aerated systems
- Temperature resistance
- Chemical stability and inertness
- Thermal conductivity reduction for better thermal insulation
3M™ Glass Bubbles HGS4000 are hollow microspheres made of soda-lime borosilicate glass with a true density of 0.38 g/cm³ and an isostatic crush strength of 4,000 psi / 280 bar.
HGS4000 Glass Bubbles are designed for use in drilling, completion, and workover fluids, as well as in cement slurries in the oil and gas industry. HGS4000 are well-suited for use in shallow to intermediate depth wells.
