Non-Invasive Fluid and Lost Circulation Materials

EMC has developed proprietary Smart Fluid Technology that creates a self-sealing and binding mechanism for Non-Invasive Fluid (NIF) and Lost Circulation Materials (LCM) for more cost-effective drilling of wells with high differential pressures and challenges related to lost circulation.

This unique technology is using modified cellulose fibres with active ingredients to create an automatic physiochemical interaction in the well. These products can be used in both Oil Based and Water Based Drilling fluids for avoiding fluids losses, increase wellbore strengthening and avoiding pressure transmission. EMC’s NIF products can also be used in the reservoir section and will be easily removed by light reverse pressure without requiring acid treatment. The EMC NIF and LCM products are designed to handle large differential pressures (> 3 500 psi) and can be adapted to any drilling fluid irrespective of specific gravity.

EMC’s NIF and LCM product range:

FERBRICOAT (Fine, Medium, Coarse)
BOREMAT (Fine, Medium, Coarse)
FEBRIBRIDGE

EMC technology receives high praise in Independent University Study

At the Society of Petroleum Engineers' One Day Seminar i Bergen, Norway, on May 14th, Professor at University of Stavanger, Arild Saasen, presented a paper (SPE-195609-MS) regarding High-Pressure testing of Lost Circulation Materials. The paper details specific results regarding LCM materials' capabilities of sealing a large range of slotted discs, simulating large fractures in a well. Tests were conducted at a range of slotted discs, showing the unique capability of sealing a large range of fractures up to a differential pressure of 5000psi, without failing.

"...excellent performance in terms of sealing a wide range of slot openings whilst withstanding very high differential pressures. It suggests that a considerable number of situations related to loss of drilling fluids can be succesfully cured without reverting to cementing..."

Arild Saasen is renowned for his work within Drilling, and was awarded the Society of Petroleum Engineers North Sea 2018 Regional Drilling Engineering Award.
