Details
TUFF™BEADS is a high compressive strength, Dual Density, mechanical lubricant which is specifically engineered and designed for extremely deviated wells, wells with unplanned directional changes or doglegs, and the tortuosity of today’s extended-reach wellbores.
The Dual Density product consists of a proprietary blend of high density, spherical glass beads, and low density, spherical Co-Polymer beads which inert and insoluble, allowing compatibility in both Aqueous and Non-Aqueous fluid systems. Unlike traditional ‘drill beads’ that required costly equipment, manpower, and chemical treatment costs while increasing the low gravity solids content of the drilling fluid.
TUFF™BEADS Dual Density beads are recommended as a supplemental additive used primarily in sweeps while drilling or prior to logging/liner/casing runs.
TUFF™BEADS have been intentionally designed to resist deformation while covering the high and low side of the well bore, as well as, provide a wide particle size distribution, ensuring both metal-to-metal and metal-to-wellbore stand-off is maintained.
