Multi-Modal LCM

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Riteks Arsenal-LCM Is a multi-modal LCM that is made up of multiple particulates that are distributed to fill and close off a fracture’s matrix, suitable to conform to a fracture’s profile, and rigid to bridge off a fracture’s interface. The inorganic materials dynamically suspend in mud, spacer and cement slurries alike to optimally flow through pump truck plumbing and casing floats. This material doesn’t appear to have any effect on Total Thickening Times and is a great “all in one bag” lost circulation solution to help gain efficiency at the bulk plant. This product has shown to pair perfectly with cement slurries as well as MS Spacer or RiSeal Spacers.

APPLICATIONS & BENEFITS
APPLICATIONS
APPLICATIONS & BENEFITSRiteks Arsenal-LCM s designed for use in mud, cement and spacer systems at temperatures up to 400°F, with recommended loadings of 1-5 lb/bbl for loss prevention, 5-10 lb/bbl for partial losses, and 10--20 lb/bbl for severe to total losses. In rare cases, operators have used this material at dosage rates up to 40 lb/bbl. Please contact a Riteks Sales Engineer for an expert opinion for your particular situation. To ensure safe passage through wellbore restrictions, Riteks Arsenal-LCM - Multi-Modal LCM concentrations should be adjusted accordingly. The carrying fluid must maintain a rheological profile that supports dynamic and static suspension, considering interactions with surrounding fluids and thermal changes to prevent settling and flow disruptions.
FEATURES & ADVANTAGES
APPLICATIONS & BENEFITS- Strengthens near-wellbore formations and effectively bridges fractures
- Can reduce cement excess percentage
- Low dust/clean lost circulation solution
- Works in muds, spacers, and cements
- Very compatible with water-based and oil-based fluid systems
- Ensures proper top of cement placement, preventing leak-off and costly remediation while improving bond logs and barrier integrity.
- When coupled with MS Spacer or RiSeal Spacers, can eliminate the need for DV Tools or even cure severe losses.
Recommendations
APPLICATIONS & BENEFITS
Loss control can be further improved by combining Riteks Arsenal-LCM - Multi-Modal LCM with Riteks
sealing spacers. Pairing it with viscous sealing spacers like MS Spacer or
RiSeal Spacer, MaxGuard-X enhances wellbore integrity. Riteks Low ECD
Sealing Spacer, RiSeal Spacer StreamLine-1, helps control losses without
exceeding pressure limits and is an unparalleled top of cement solution for
almost any situation.
