Feature And Benefits
BH BEADS™ reduce torque and drag on the drill string by creating a "ball bearing" effect in the well bore. BH BEADS™ are utilized to facilitate the running of casing in deviated holes. BH BEADS™ can be added to water and oil base drilling fluids with little or no effect on fluid properties. BH BEADS™ reduces torque and casing wear associated with metal to metal contact down–hole. BH BEADS™ are available in diameters of 0.25 mm (Fine) and 0.65 mm (Coarse).
Product Function
BH BEADS™ are utilized to reduce down hole friction associated with drilling and running casing.
Recommended treatment
Recommended treat whilst drilling is 4–6 lb/bbl (11.4–17.1 kg/m³). Batch treatments of 30 bbls (5m³) consisting of 6–12 lb/bbl (17.1–34 kg/m³) can be used in wire line logging, surveying and mud motor operations. Additions in excess of 18.0 lb/bbl (51.5 kg/m³) are not recommended. BH BEADS™ (Fine) will pass through a 30 mesh shaker screen while the BH BEADS™ (Coarse) will pass through a 12 mesh shaker screen. The concentration of BH BEADS™ in the drilling fluid can be monitored using the API Sand Content Kit.
Shipping References
Transportation of BH BEADS™ is not restricted by any regulatory agency.
