Bridging performances of lost circulation materials (LC-LUBE and mica) and their blending in 80/20 and 60/40 oil-based drilling fluids

In drilling wells, lost circulation, barite sagging, shale swelling, and formation damage are critical problems for the industry. These problems can be controlled by designing appropriate drilling fluids and lost circulation materials. In this study, the performance of 80/20 and 60/40 oil-based dril...
