How Does Bow Centralizer Work In The Industry?
2
Centralizer Bow Spring is a mechanical device
that keeps casing from joining the wellbore wall.
With a continuous 360-degree annular space around
casing, it allows the cement to completely seal
the casing to the borehole wall. 
3
There are two types of Centralizer Bow Design
which are Welded Bow-Spring Centralizer and
Nonwelded Bow-Spring Centralizer, you can find
similarities and dissimilarities both in these
centralizers.

Since, the centralizers continuous annular
clearance around the casing allows cement to
completely seal around the casing to the borehole
wall.

 Bow Centralizer being one of the popular
centralizers made in traditional bow-spring
centralizer design, this is mechanical device
which is secured around the casing at various
locations.
6
The casing is kept away from making further
contact with the wall. It is a well defined thing
to say that each centralizer types and properties
vary from each other.
Bow design of centralizer is a slightly larger
design than the wellbore and they can provide
complete centralization in vertical or slightly
deviated wells. 
7
Since, they do not support the weight of the
casing, it is very well deviated in wellbores.
Also, the exact number of centralizers required
and their placements on the casing are important
to make it work properly.

Advantages Of Bow Design

• Flexible, non-weld design and outstanding lateral
  resistance available on both slip-on and latch-on
  versions
• Provides additional flow area to aid in mud
  removal which contributes to a high-quality
  primary cement job

• The formed U-profile offers superior standoff
  which is more effective compared to the
  conventional bow-spring centralizers and enables
  efficient liner-hanger and packer setting
• Special locking tabs connect the bows to the end
  collars to achieve the highest restoring-force-to-
  drag ratio when run in hole in cased-hole
  applications

The Development Of Bow Centralizer
Since, earlier the entirely development of
machines were low and the awareness was low as
well. Now, on the other hand, because of digital
media, the competition has increased and people
have started to explore various features of
machines.  Bow Centralizer being used for casing
the center of a wellbore or during a cement job,
is a metal strip shaped like a hunting bow and
attached to a tool or to the outside of casing.

Casing Centralizer provides an even space around
the casing for cementing. When setting well
casing, one of the most crucial part is to apply
the cement around the casing. The Bow Centralizer
helps in reducing the casing drag while running
the casing into the borehole. Also does it
prevent differential sticking of the casing as it
is run into the hole and caking on wellbore walls
by increasing the amount of fluid turbulence.
