Acid-Soluble Swellable LCM
GLO SOLUSWELL SEAL AS is an acid-soluble, swellable lost circulation material formulated for water-based drilling fluids. It is designed to efficiently seal fractures, voids, and high-permeability zones, ensuring minimal mud loss and maximum operational efficiency. Post-drilling, the product can be fully removed with acid treatment, preventing formation damage and enabling seamless continuation of operations.
Application:
- GLO SOLUSWELL SEAL is for water-based drilling fluids to control lost circulation in fractures, voids, vugs, and high-permeability zones.
- Provides rapid bridging and effective sealing while maintaining mud properties.
Common Name:
Acid-Soluble Swellable LCM for WBM
Advantages:
- Rapidly seals fractures, voids, and high-permeability zones to prevent mud loss.
- Fully removable with 15% HCl, minimizing formation damage and simplifying post-drilling operations.
- Swells in water-based muds to bridge and seal fractures effectively.
- Does not adversely affect rheology, density, or other drilling fluid properties.
