CP8 — Co-Pivot Centraliser for 8.5in
Patented Co-Pivot mechanism with ultra-low-drag bearings — precise centralization of heavy strings in 8.5” wellbores.
Description
The Co-Pivot Centraliser (CP8) is the latest addition to the Focus™ range of precision centralisers for open hole. By synergizing Petromac’s patented “Co-Pivot” mechanism with our ultra-low-drag custom bearings, the CP8 delivers unparalleled performance.
The CP8 centraliser boasts robust strength and ensures precise centralization of heavy tool-strings in challenging conditions. Unlike conventional centralizers, our device reduces stick-slip and facilitates smooth gravity descent in high deviation wells.
Applications
- Centering Sonics and imaging tools in 8.5” wellbores
- Stick-slip elimination
- Conveyance of heavy toolstrings.
