Lost Circulation Control

Next generation fiber technology proven to effectively seal formation fractures improving fluid loss, loss of circulation, and return to surface properties in spacers, primary cementing, and helps prevent the need for costly remedial cementing operations. It offers dramatic improvements for areas of lost circulation in porous formations, by bridging gaps as well as aiding in support/suspension of the slurry design, with the additional benefits of improved bond logs, filter cake stability, and consistent slurry fluidity.

FOV-4 is a multi-modal LCM that is made up of multiple particulates that are distributed to fill and close off a fracture’s matrix, flexible to conform to a fracture’s profile, and rigid and flaked to bridge off a fracture’s interface. The inorganic materials dynamically suspend in 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” 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 Spacer.

This material LCM product sports an assortment of different particle sized particulates that aid in plugging down hole fractures. The organic material draws deeply on particle packing to help clog up unwanted downhole chasms. FOI-4 is a robust and versatile LCM has the ability to free flow through bulk plants without clogging them even with concentrations up to 10 lb/bbl. It dynamically suspends in spacer and cement slurries alike to optimally flow through pump plumbing while headed downhole. This material has shown to retard CMT, but through Riteks slot testing efforts, it has shown to be the most efficient way to clog up a 3mm slot to date. This product has shown to pair perfectly with MS Spacer or RiSeal Spacer. 

Solubond Fibers are an Innovative fiber technology that functions as an acid soluble Lost Circulation Material (LCM) where losses are an issue, but acid solubility is key. These fibers offer increased circulation by bridging and plugging off voids, fractures, and all types of permeable formations, and are compatible with cement and other fluids. These fibers offer low loading levels that range from 0.25 – 1pps and up to 5ppb in spacers. while being noncorrosive to equipment, and maintaining high-solubility in diluted hydrochloric acid (HCl) & formic acid (HF).
