Highlights

High strength-to-density ratio
Chemically inert, virtually insoluble in water and compatible with standard equipment (mixers, pumps)
Helps reduce floorspace footprint, ideal for offshore/remote locations
Helps operators increase well integrity and productivity
Helps operators maintain well control
Incompressible, offers simplification over multi-phase flow
Virtually eliminates the need for specialized equipment used in foamed and aerated systems

3M™ Glass Bubbles HGS7K32N are hollow glass spheres designed for use in drilling, completion, and workover fluids, as well as cement slurries for the oil and gas industry. With a nominal density of 0.32 g/cc and an isostatic crush strength of 7,000 psi (pounds per square inch), these 3M Glass Bubbles are a good choice for use in moderate to deep wells. Helping reduce downhole pressure of the fluid column during any operation, 3M Glass Bubbles HGS7K32N can help operators avoid loss, prevent formation damage and reduce non-productive time (NPT), which could unlock cost savings and increase well integrity and productivity.

3M Glass Bubbles

Intended for industrial applications and manufactured to industrial specifications, 3M Glass Bubbles work well with standard equipment, including mixers, pumps and solids control. They are also compatible with both water-based and oil-based systems. Chemically inert, 3M Glass Bubbles are virtually insoluble in water.
Lightweight cements with 3M Glass Bubbles HGS7K32N

This product will help you achieve and maintain your well control with an increased probability of achieving top of cement (TOC). It can also help reduce your floorspace footprint, ideal for offshore/remote locations. In addition, the 3M Glass Bubbles HGS7K32N can help you achieve optimum cured cement compressive strength and gas migration control.
Lightweight control fluids with 3M Glass Bubbles HGS7K32N

Helping you achieve and maintain well control, 3M Glass Bubbles HGS7K32N also allow an increased rate of penetration (ROP). They are homogeneous, giving them stability of dispersion through the fluid system. Plus, they are incompressible, offering simplification over multi-phase flow. Finally, this product will help you reduce floorspace requirements to carry out your drilling operations.
