Features
• Fiber-Reinforced Polymer composite centralizers with
ultra-low friction co-efficient.
• High durability and wear resistance
• Thermal stability and insulation
• Melon shaped blade profile to ride over ledges, milled
windows and washouts.
• Patented EzeeGLIDER steel rings are fitted on each end
to maximize load capacity
Benefits
• By running low friction composite EzeeGLIDER
centralizers at 1/joint on the completion screens, the
final Open Hole friction factor have reduced significantly
down to 0.2 in Main Bore and 0.23 in Lateral #1.
• The EzeeGLIDER helped to lubricate the completion
screens, reduces frictional drag along open hole section
and provided more weight for successful screens
deployment.
• The installation of the EzeeGLIDER was efficient, thanks
to their very light weight feature that improved overall
operation and towards safer manual handling.
