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
