PRODUCT BULLETIN

LOST CIRCULATION MATERIAL

This document is supplied solely for informational purposes and Newpark Drilling Fluids makes no guarantees or warranties, either expressed or

implied, with respect to the accuracy and use of this data.

All product warranties and guarantees shall be governed by the General Terms and Conditions.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

NewCarb™ lost circulation material (LCM) is a finely ground

limestone rock available in fine, medium and coarse grades

over a wide particle size range. NewCarb is ground to

exacting specifications and is acid soluble, making it ideal

for use in production sands.

BENEFIT

The versatile NewCarb LCM is ideally suited to remediate

seepage losses in production sands .

APPLICATION

NewCarb LCM is used primarily as a bridging agent in sandformations where seepage losses are a primary concern. It

may also be used as a weighting agent in fluid densities up to

12 lb/gal (1.4 sg). For seepage losses in sands, use a NewCarb

and DynaFiber™ LCM blend.

TREATMENT RECOMMENDATION

If seepage losses are detected, NewCarb and DynaFiber

LCM’s are recommended in a 2:1 ratio in premixed 25-30 bbl

sweeps. If losses persist, maintain NewCarb concentration

at 5-10 lb/bbl and DynaFiber concentration at 3-5 lb/bbl

in the active system. This combination will provide a wide

particle size range and act as bridging agents under dynamic

conditions.

NOTE: The most important aspect of combating lost

circulation is particle size distribution. Consequently, it is

recommended that a combination of materials be added

to ensure a good particle size distribution (PSD).
