... Abstract Lost circulation is a prominent problem in almost all fields of Saudi Arabia. Losses can vary from partial to total and sometimes also initiate other drilling related issues, such as stuck pipe, kick, and wellbore instability. These complexities make it paramount to cure losses as fast...

... Abstract Failure to have a reliable and adequate evaluation method and apparatus for materials used to combat severe lost circulation causes the drilling industry to have significant non-productive time due to frequent failure to control moderate to severe loss circulation. Apart from losing...

... Lost circulation events are categorized according to the total volume of fluid lost during the event. The volume of mud losses depends on a number of factors, including formation properties, drilling fluid properties, and formation breakdown pressure. The categories of losses have been described...

... Abstract The current oil and gas industry uncertainty encourages innovative, efficient, and simple drilling and workover solutions. Challenging and problematic formations cause various design complications and operational risk. These include lost circulation, well control incidents, high...

... Abstract Lost circulation is a complicated situation in the drilling operation, wasting a lot of time and mud during processing. A serious lost circulation can cause many hazards, such as internal pressure drop, affecting normal drilling, causing well instability, inducing formation fluid...

... Abstract Lost circulation is a complicated problem to be prevented or combatted during drilling through the Hartha formation. Hence, Mud losses remedies are determined to stop or mitigate losses using remedial methods or to prevent mud losses using proactive measures. Lost circulation events...

... Abstract A two-component lost circulation material (LCM) system is developed to mitigate seepage to moderate type loss of circulation using materials and polymers having different physical and chemical properties. The first component or component I is a slurry containing a carrier fluid...

... Abstract When a drilling rig takes a kick or experiences lost circulation it is both dangerous and expensive. The earlier these events are detected the sooner the crew can take critical corrective action, minimizing both the danger and cost associated with the event. Detecting these events...

... Abstract A novel fibrous eco-friendly lost circulation material (LCM) has been developed using natural date tree waste as raw material. As the source of raw material is sustainable and available in huge quantity in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and in the Middle Eastern Region, it has a great...

... for comprehensive performance evaluation. Based on the laboratory and field trial test results, it can be concluded that the locally developed date seed-based particulate LCM "ARC Plug" is a viable alternative to imported particulate LCMs products supplied by various vendors and service companies. circulation...

... drilling campaigns. Tests acquired at same depth interval with different circulation rates were used as primary the calibration point for the forward model calibration. A secondary calibration point was obtained by from two consecutive tests, during which first circulation was kept off, and then turned...
