Details
Highlights
- Helps reduce the density of cement slurries
- Helps to prevent or minimize fluid loss/lost circulation and formation damage
- Incompressible and more homogeneous cement slurry properties compared with foamed cements
- Virtually eliminates the need for specialized equipment used in foamed and aerated systems
- Potential for reduced Non Productive Time (NPT), improved well integrity and increased well productivity
3M™ Glass Bubbles HGS10000 are hollow glass spheres designed for use in lightweight well cementing for the oil and gas industry. With a nominal density of 0.60 g/cc and an isostatic crush strength of 10,000 psi (pounds per square inch), HGS10000 are well-suited for use in deep wells.
