Innovative technologies to minimize well control problems caused by seepage to total lost circulation
Talk to an expertLost circulation is commonly encountered in drilling and cementing operations and can be a costly challenge to overcome. During cementing, lost circulation can compromise zonal isolation and, ultimately, impede production. Risks associated with lost circulation affect most wells, particularly those with naturally fractured formations, unconsolidated zones, and vugular flow paths. Induced losses can also occur when the hydrostatic fluid column pressure exceeds the fracture gradient of the formation and the formation breaks down enough to receive rather than resist the fluid.
Our solutions can mitigate the wide range of lost circulation challenges encountered during cementing operations, which include:
SentinelCem Pro is a unique, single-sack lightweight lost-circulation solution that enables proactive storage at the rig site to cure severe to total losses.
Tuned® Defense™ cement spacer systems prevent lost circulation while optimizing fluid rheology for effective mud displacement.
Enhances cement spacer designs to prevent lost circulation.
