  • THIN BOW-STRING CENTRALIZER FOR WELLS
    Publication number: 20170292336
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a bow-spring centralizer by using thinner bows of advanced alloys and thermal conditioning that can reduce the thickness of the bows compared to traditional bows, and yet provide sufficient restoring force after compression in a tight annulus with little radial thickness. The present disclosure also provides a specially shaped centralizer bow with cross sections that can reduce running force, increase stiffness and strength, and/or still maintain a sufficient restoring force.
