Two components for a two-way solution for coil tubing or drilling applications
Liqui-Beads provides the combination of a liquid lubricant and the premium performance of SUN’s own LUBRA-GLIDE co-polymer beads in a single product application. This combination gives you the tools to solve torque, drag, and friction issues immediately in a single application package.
Reduces torque and drag associated with coil tubing drilling, logging, workover, or completion applications
Suspended fine LUBRA-GLIDE co-polymer beads offer excellent mechanical lubrication. Fine grade beads average 247 microns or 65 mesh
The premium liquid lubricant component has a high affinity for metal and bonds with these surfaces, reducing the coefficient of friction between the work string and wellbore
Non-aromatic components will not harm mud motors, MWD, or LWD tools

Application
Liqui-Beads can be mixed directly into most mud systems via injection pump, pill form, or gravity feeding, directly over the mud pump suction.
Total system treatment:
Mix slowly through metered additions while circulating.
Mix up to 1% Liqui-Beads evenly throughout the circulating volume to reduce torque and drag.
Pills and Sweeps: Spot pills, approximately 2% Liqui-Beads with sufficient volume to cover the BHA or problem area and/or build sections. After spotting a pill stop circulation, rotate and reciprocate the string for up to 10 minutes, allowing the product to saturate the zone before continuing operations.
