Drilling LCM
drillout products are temporary diverting materials used to improve circulation and drillout efficiency. During placement,
is a solid degradable polymer material capable of bridging across perforation tunnels near the wellbore. After successfully diverting fluid, the diverter is designed to hydrolyze to a clear, non-hazardous liquid. This process is driven simply by time, temperature, and pressure in the presence of water meaning that no additional remedial work is necessary.
Key Design Factors
Regain circulation in severe loss conditions
Reduced risk of uncemented void spaces leads to better bonding
Various deployment plans allow for tailored squeeze solutions, continuous circulation, or freeing stuck tubulars
Benefits and Outcomes
Minimal formation damage due to degradability of product
Reduced Mud Losses
Improved Hole Quality
