The recommended treatment for partial losses (10 to 100 bbl/hr or 1.6 to 16 m3/hr) is 20 to 50 lb/bbl (57 to 143 kg/m3) in spotted pills. very high permeability formations such as fractured carbonates and conglomerates may require additional pills in combination with other lost circulation materials of appropriate particle size distribution.
Torque and drag may be reduced by incorporating ORG G-Seal spots and sweeps into the active system up to a total concentration of 10 lb/bbl (29 kg/m3). Initial treatments for the active system may be applied in 2 lb/bbl (5.7 kg/m3) increments while monitoring torque and drag.
ORG G-Seal may require additional wetting agent when used in an oil- or synthetic-based mud system.
LIMITATIONS
Can be removed from the circulating system by shale shakers and other solids-control equipment. Requires close monitoring of the shale shakers.
Non-acid-soluble material may not be suited for open-hole completions in which acid solubility is required
