Lost Circulation Materials

Lost Circulation Materials are specialty additives used to prevent or mitigate the loss of drilling fluids into formation fractures, voids, or porous zones during drilling operations. Loss of circulation can lead to wellbore instability, stuck pipe, blowouts, and increased costs, so LCMs are critical for maintaining well control and operational efficiency.

  • Plug fractures, voids, and highly permeable zones

  • Restore circulation of drilling fluid

  • Prevent formation damage and well control issues

  • Reduce non-productive time (NPT)
