More Information
Summary:Lost circulation particles are commonly used in drilling and/or cementing operations to prevent fluid loss to a subterranean formation. Lost circulation fluids and methods of drilling and/or cementing operations may also use petroleum coke lost circulation particles composed of fluid coke and/or flexicoke material. Such petroleum coke lost circulation particles may have improved transport into wellbores because of their lower density compared to traditional lost circulation material and may produce fewer fines that can interfere with lost circulation efficacy.
