A Comparison Study of Malaysian Mica as Loss Circulation Material in High Pressure High Temperature Drilling Fluid
It has been observed for years that lost circulation is one of the troublesome and costly problems encountered during drilling operation even with the best drilling practices. Loss circulation can be classified according to the severity of mud lost rate into the stealing formation. Loss circulation...
