Oilfield Foam Wiper Balls

  Foam Wiper Ball for Oilfield Cementing and Drilling A foam wiper ball is one of the simplest and most cost-effective tools for efficient fluid displacement. Every oilfield cementing job depends on it: if drilling fluid, cement residue or solid debris stays on the inside of the pipe wall, it can restrict circulation, weaken zonal isolation and add non-productive time (NPT). Merit manufactures natural rubber foam wiper balls in standard sizes from 3" to 20", and our team helps you choose the right ball for your string, tools and fluids. A wiper ball only works as well as its fit. A ball that is too small leaves residue behind. One that is too large or too rigid can struggle at restrictions. This guide shows you how to choose correctly. What Does a Foam Wiper Ball Do? A foam wiper ball is pumped through drill pipe, casing or tubing. As it travels, its compressible body stays in contact with the inner wall and pushes residual fluids and solids ahead of it. This helps with: Dis...
