Riteks’ Oil Drilling Coarse GlassDrill Ball Bearings are designed to optimize drilling efficiency, especially in deviated holes where friction and torque can be problematic. These solid glass spheres act as micro ball bearings, forming a lubricating layer that significantly reduces friction between the drill string and the wellbore.The reduction in friction lowers the torque needed, resulting in smoother drilling and less equipment wear. Made from high-quality soda lime glass, the GlassDrill Ball Bearings are free of imperfections and are chemically inert, ensuring they do not alter the mud system's properties while enhancing overall drilling performance.
