MEGASLIDE® COARSE GLASS BEADS  Function 1.  Mechanical lubricant as a means to INCREASE RATE OF PENETRATION of a drill string within a deviated well bore. 2.  As an aid to SLIDE DRILLING, BATCH DRILLING & RUNNING CASING OR A LINER. 3.  As a mechanical lubricant when DRILLING EXTENDED REACH WELLS. 4.  Superior TORQUE & DRAG REDUCTION.   General Description MEGASLIDE®  14-20 mesh   Product Benefits MegaSlide® coarse glass beads have the highest values for compressive strength and hardness available to the oilfield.  The compressive strength of MegaSlide® 14-20 mesh or a nominal 1.0 mm) is 134 lbf (600 N) and 71.5 Rc hardness.  API pipe tables, Class E and N-80 have a tensile strength of about 100,000 psi.  This is equivalent to 95-98 RB.  However some furnace heats may be more than 23 RC.  S135 has a tensile strength of 147,000 psi and 35-39 RC.  Stabilizers and tool joints are similar to 4140 steel with hardness about 1/2 that of MegaSlide® beads or 30-34 RC. Excellent results have been found, due to the larger exposed surface area of the coarse bead.  It enables itself to protrude further out of the wall cake which gives a greater ball-bearing affect to the outer casing wall in open hole. Product Description Color: Colorless, clear and free of carbon residues  Specific Gravity: 2.45 - 2.50 g/cm3 Hardness: C70.5 Crush Resistance: ±60,000 pounds Packaging: 50 lb. multilayer bags, 40 bags/pallet  Roundness:  Greater than 90% true spheres by visual inspection Chemical Composition:  Soda lime glass (no free silica) Typical Treatment:    MegaSlide® glass beads can be added to entire system at 2-6 lbs/bbl or run in sweeps.  Excellent results have been found by first running sweeps with 10-50 lbs/bbl and then following with 1-2 sx per hour.
