ECON-O-GLIDER™ & ECON-O-GLIDER-ST™

The Econ-o-glider™ steel spiral blade solid body centralizer has been specifically designed to centralize casing being run in the less demanding vertical & intermediate wells, where positive standoff is required and torque & drag reduction is not an essential requirement.

The Econ-o-glider-ST™ is specifically designed for use on casing and tubing strings. It has been developed and offered to the industry as a technically superior and price competitive option to the spring-bow centralizer which is currently being utilised. 

Econ-o-glider™	Positive Stand-off Spiral Blade. The Econ-o-glider™ has a spiral blade design to assist with hole cleaning and cement placement. In addition to this the solid blade design offers guaranteed minimum standoff.
	Zero Running Force. The Econ-o-glider™ series of centralizers are manufactured under bit size to ensure there are no running forces to overcome while affording maximum standoff.
	Maximum Flow-By. Flow-By has been maximised to reduce pressure surge while running and to protect formations in the open hole.
Econ-o-glider-ST™	Compression Rated To 100 Tons. Econ-o-glider™ centralisers are compression rated, end on end to a minimum of 100 tons without deformation. In addition, blades are compression tested to withstand 15 - 20 tons before deformation occurs. All testing ensures product integrity.
	Positive Stand-off Straight Blade. The Econ-o-glider-ST™ has a positive stand-off straight blade which assists in the correct placement of cement. The flow-by area of the Econ-o-glider-ST™ has been maximised to prevent the build up of solids and reduce created pressure on the well-bore.
	Integral Stop Collar. Econ-o-glider™ centralizers are designed with an integral stop collar complete with setscrews.

Cost Effective.
The Econ-o-glider™ series of centralizers can be installed prior to the shipment of tubulars to the rig location. They have been developed and offered to the industry as a technically superior and price competitive option to the springbow centralizer.
