PAL Pipe Glide

PAL Pipe Glide is a new “Pipe on Pipe” lubricant designed especially for coil tubing and stick pipe jobs. It has been formulated to meet the high demands of even the most difficult wells and allow the operators to achieve total depth.

Pipe Glide is easily dispersed in any fluid condition, from fresh water to fully saturated brines. Depending on fluid types, it can achieve a coefficient of friction as low 0.05, well below the industry standard of 0.1. Pipe Glide has a high affinity for metal surfaces making its effects long-lasting. It can be dosed as a continuous drip or on an as-needed basis. For continuous applications, 1/8 to 1/4 gallons per bbl is recommended. For on demand applications, 1/2 to 1 gallon per 10bbls is normally used. When faced with severe friction issues, Pipe Glide can be dosed as a pill in much higher concentrations. In the event of high friction, it is always recommended to run a high viscosity sweep to ensure the hole is clean and free of sand before administering high doses of pipe-on-pipe.
