Lost Circulation Plug/Pill (LCP)

LCP is a unique blend of polymers and multi-sized cellulose fibers that create an effective lost circulation fluid system that can be pumped as a pre-flush or through the bit. It can be pumped ahead of cement slurries (well control slurries) to provide a backing, allowing the cement to be spotted where required. LCP is compatible with all cement slurries and does not require a spacer. The system can be used as a pre-flush to heal weak zones and losses, allowing cement returns to surface and eliminating/reducing cement fall back.

LCP Advantages

• Through bit plug/pill
• Allows continual drilling
• Compatible with all cement slurries - no spacer required
• Provides well control when spotting a cement plug

Pre-Flush Advantages

• Heals weak zones - could offset the need for costly light weight cements
• May completely seal weak formations, allowing heavier density slurries to be pumped
• Excellent for CBM formations
