Casing Centralizer Function:
1) Take casing to designed position by reducing sticking while casing going down.
2) Centralize casing in well.
3) Balance liquid pressure in annular space by reducing adhesion phenomenon.
4) Improving replacing ratio of mud and boosting cementing quality by reducing channeling effect.
2. Characteristics of
Bow Spring Centralizer:
1) Designed for high restoring force and low starting and running force
2) The larger bows provide complete centralization in vertical or slightly deviated wells.
3) Due to the flexibility of bows, they can pass through narrow hole sections and expand in the targeted locations.
4) Undergo special coating process to prevent from rust
5) For hinged bow spring
Casing centralizers, end collars are designed with self-locking action, which are easy to assemble and can be shipped in half assembled condition for less shipping and storage costs.
3. Characteristics for Rigid Casing Centralizers:
1) Shock, impact and corrosion resistant.
2) High tensile and yield strengths.
3) Available with straight or spiral blades.
4) Helps ensure positive centering in deviated or horizontal holes.Casing Centralizers
