PecoBead 400™ is a multi-phase lubricant that is designed to decrease the co-efficient of friction in all water- base drilling fluids. The PecoBead 400™ decreases the coefficient of friction that reduces torque, drag and the potential for differential sticking in the wellbore.

- HIGHLIGHTS
PecoBead 400™ lubricant is a suspension of divinyl styrene benzene copolymer drill beads in a lubricant that is hydrocarbon free. The co-polymer beads add to the mechanical effect, embedding themselves in the filter cake of the open hole and providing a mechanical "rollerbearing" effect in cased holes, reducing metal on metal friction. Additional value is seen as the liquid lubricant carrier fluid has a unique wettability characteristic that lowers the potential of accretion on the bottom hole assembly (BHA) and drill pipe, allowing more consistent weight to be applied to the bit. PecoBead 400™ lubricant is only slightly water soluble under most conditions, but is dispersible in water-base muds.
- Benefits and Features
The PecoBead 400™ lubricant is made with a premium 100 - 300 micron DVB co-polymer bead. Other beaded lubricants use beads over 300 micron which can have a detrimental effect to hole cleaning and getting downhole tools and casing to bottom. Beads that are under 100 Micron get lost in the drilling fluid filter cake and do not give the mechanical affects to maximize slide.
