The GeoGLIDER®XTREMELite is a composite blend of our ultra-low friction centralizer and best projects the design objectives of this system.
The GeoGLIDER®XTREME is a true glider in the borehole boasting of friction factors between 0.16 and as low as 0.05 in the openhole. It mates a philosophy of non-distortion or disturbance of the borehole walls with smooth flowing curves and three offset contact areas no more than 5 sq-in in total, the smallest foot print in the industry.
Dynamically Transient
At Geopro we have coined the term "dynamically transient" to describe the behaviour of the GeoGLIDER®XTREME when one of the contact points encounter and obstruction. Depending on where the force F1, F2 or F3 is applied, the centralizer rotates around the casing to adjust and distribute forces around it. This in conjunction with the small

Depending on where the force F1, F2 or F3 is applied, the centralizer rotates around the casing to adjust and distribute forces around it. This in conjunction with the small foot print and the smooth contours (no sharp edges) is responsible for the
The GeoGLIDER®XTREME contact points
The GeoGLIDER®XTREME contact points
Each of the contact points on the GeoGLIDER®XTREME are 120 degrees offset circumferentially and 1.5 inches offset from centre-to-centre axially. Each contact area is ~ 1.6 sq-in in area.
