Fluid Loss Control

Filtration Control Additives
Polymers and natural products such as modified cellulose, starch, and lignite that build a thin, low-permeability filter cake to reduce API filtrate volume in water-based muds.
Lost Circulation Materials (LCM)
Granular, fibrous, and flaked solids added to mud to bridge and plug fractures, vugs, and high-permeability zones where whole drilling fluid is being lost to the formation.
Resilient Graphitic Carbon
Deformable, resilient graphite particles that wedge into and seal fractures, maintaining the plug under pressure cycling to control both seepage and partial losses.
Sized Calcium Carbonate Bridging Agents
Ground marble or limestone supplied in controlled particle-size grades that bridge pore throats and minor fractures and are acid-soluble for later removal in producing zones.
Modified Starch Filtrate Reducers
Pregelatinized and crosslinked starch derivatives that lower filtration in water-based and brine fluids, including formulations stable in high-salinity completion environments.
Lignite and Lignosulfonate Filtration Reducers
Causticized lignite and lignosulfonate products that thin mud and reduce fluid loss, with utility at elevated temperatures in deeper wells.
Fibrous and Cellulosic LCM
Wood, paper, and cellulose fibers that mat across openings to form a base for granular and flaked materials, treating seepage to moderate losses.
HPHT Filtration Control Additives
Thermally stable synthetic polymers and blends formulated to maintain low filtrate volumes under high-pressure/high-temperature filtration conditions in deep and hot wells.
