Drilling and Well Completion



[click to enlarge]
As the search for oil and gas moves farther offshore, there is an increasing need for materials that can survive and perform in extreme subsea environments.
3M™ Glass Bubbles have proven their reliability in adverse conditions, for applications such as reducing weight and increasing uplift of buoyancy modules and for enhancing thermal insulation properties in risers and pipelines.

Completion Fluids Filtration
Engineered to keep completion and workover fluids clean, CUNO® Cartridge Filters help maintain a more open formation, thus helping produce a greater volume of oil.
Low Density Cement

Low Density Cement
Low-density cement slurries made with 3M™ Glass Bubbles HGS Series have the potential to improve performance compared to alternative solutions like aeration or water dilution. They can reduce slurry density and provide high compressive strength, minimal wait on cement (WOC), and increased yield per sack of cement.
Low Density Drilling Fluids

Low Density Drilling Fluids
Drilling fluids/muds made with 3M™ Glass Bubbles, instead of by aeration, are so predictable that at-balance or near-balanced drilling can be used even in sensitive strata, without significant risk to the formation.
