Loss Circulation while drilling is becoming more problematic with the increased drawdown in our aquifers and one of the least understood borehole conditions the driller encounters. Proper steps are needed to minimize the risk of getting pipe stuck. Recognizing the type of losses that occur and the correct treatment is critical to prevent aquifer contamination and reduced well efficiency. The presentation will cover types of approved loss circulation materials and steps necessary to develop these materials out of the well during well development.
