Study on the Formulation of Lost Circulation Control Fluid and the Laws of Lost Circulation Control for Fractured Formations

Liu Congjun

Abstract

Although studies on seeping loss of mud have been done all over the world,a systematic study on mud losses in fractured formation is not yet found,and a solution for lost circulation in fractured formations is yet to be provided.An extensive study was conducted on lost circulation in fractured formations using a self-made HTHP lost circulation tester,DL-A,based on a comprehensive review of lost circulation control technology both used in China and abroad.A general rule of lost circulation control in fractured formations was found and a relatively ideal lost circulation control fluid formulation for controlling mud losses in fractured formations was presented.
