Testing LCM on a Large Scale for Geothermal Drilling Applications Using a Novel Experimental Setup
Rheology data obtained from flow loop tests, performed using different lost circulation materials (LCM) to study their effect on fluid rheology and wellbore hydraulics. The sealing performance of different LCM was tested using different fracture sizes. Five academic papers / reports derived from this research are also presented.

"description": "The rheology screening experiments aimed to evaluate the performance of different additives to be used as viscosifier for the base fluid. Different fluid formulations were prepared in the lab by adding the additives individually to tap water in various concentrations (1 to 5 lb/bbl). These additives are PAC-L, THERMA-CHEK, POLYAC PLUS, and THERMA-VIS."
