Hollow glass spheres, also known as glass bubbles, as a density reducing agent in a drilling fluid. In the field application, a proprietary oil-in-water emulsion fluid which contained hollow glass bubbles was used during the drilling of a producing interval. The oil-in-water emulsion provided a suitable fluid base, whereas the glass bubbles, by virtue of their low density, imparted a lower finished density than that of the corresponding base fluid. The density lowering capacity of the glass bubbles is proportional to the concentration of bubbles incorporated in the fluid.
In the field application, the fluid-glass bubble pair is stable, homogenous, and compatible through conventional mud motors, bits, surface cleaning equipment, and of such rheological and filtrate properties, as to lend itself to be used in low pressure reservoirs and in producing zones of high permeability.
Glass beads spherical structure, which has high hardness, smooth surface, such as features, rolling performance is good. Use it as drilling fluid additives, can play a role similar to the bearing in the ball, greatly reduce the frictional resistance of drill pipe, drilling fluid, fast bit drilling, improve the rate of penetration, and reduce the bit wear.
Now, in the exploration and development is difficult, purpose layer under the condition of buried depth, low formation pressure with application of glass beads in underbalance drilling has many advantages, one of the biggest advantages is the glass beads can improve drilling speed; From the shaft to the differential fluid pressure of formation fluid in the range of 0 ~ 6.9 Mpa, the common drilling method in sandstone, limestone, shale drilling efficiency would lower 70 ~ 80%, and the glass beads can reduce wellbore pressure significantly improve drilling efficiency.

Hollow glass bubbles, also known as glass microspheres or glass beads, are lightweight, hollow particles that can be used in various industrial applications, including lightweight drilling fluids in the oil and gas industry. These hollow glass bubbles have several properties that make them suitable for such applications:
Low Density: Hollow glass bubbles are lightweight due to their hollow structure and low density. This property is advantageous in drilling fluids, where reducing the overall density of the fluid is important for various reasons, such as minimizing formation damage and improving drilling efficiency.
Strength and Crush Resistance: Despite being lightweight, hollow glass bubbles can exhibit good strength and crush resistance. This is crucial in drilling operations where the fluids may experience high pressures and mechanical forces.
Thermal Insulation: Hollow glass bubbles provide thermal insulation, which can be beneficial in drilling operations conducted in extreme temperature environments. This property helps maintain the stability of the drilling fluid under varying temperature conditions.
Reduced Erosion: The use of hollow glass bubbles in drilling fluids can contribute to reducing erosion on drilling equipment. This is particularly important in situations where abrasive materials may be present in the formation being drilled.
Chemical Inertness: Hollow glass bubbles are often chemically inert, meaning they do not react with the fluids or formations encountered during drilling. This makes them suitable for use in a wide range of drilling fluid formulations.
Controllable Density: The density of drilling fluids can be adjusted by varying the concentration of hollow glass bubbles, providing a level of control over the fluid properties.
