01 / APPLICATION

Description & application

SOLU-SEAL® is a proprietary, single-sack blend of sized and shaped materials designed to be highly effective in curing severe to total loss of circulation in producing formations without the addition of other lost-circulation material.

The supplied product information states that SOLU-SEAL® LCM is 80% acid soluble and can be readily removed from producing reservoirs after stopping whole-mud loss or invasion, thereby minimising formation damage.

It also describes SOLU-SEAL® LCM as 100% biodegradable, non-toxic, non-fermenting, non-corrosive, temperature stable to 450°F and compatible with all types of drilling and drill-in fluids.

03 / TREATMENT

Recommended treatment

The supplied product information states that 90–100 ppb of SOLU-SEAL® effectively seals off loss zones and perforations in producing reservoirs.

The supplied instructions call for mixing with a gradual increase starting at 40 ppb, with the pill physically checked during addition. Addition is to stop as needed so the pill remains pumpable.
