Lost Circulation Material (LCM) is defined by its size and hardness. Grinding cuttings downhole to generate lost circulation material (LCM) can immediately act upon fractures to cure lost circulation before it becomes evident at surface. Oilfield Innovations have a patented downhole lost circulation material generator that can save you expensive rig time by preventing lost circulation before it becomes a problem.
Non-rotating stabilisers create the housing of a downhole lost circulation material (LCM) generator with the drill string turning impellers within the housing that grind rock cuttings to LCM sized material. As shown above various configurations of LCM generators can be constructed to suck in cutting and grind them into sand size particles that enter fractures to allow the mud filter cake to bridge and seal the fracture to, thus, prevent pressure from reaching the point of fracture propagation to inhibit or prevent lost circulation.
