Real-time lost circulation estimation and mitigation

open access: yesEgyptian Journal of Petroleum, 2018
Lost circulation is a challenging problem particularly in the Dammam formation of the Rumaila field, Iraq. Drilling engineers are challenged to select the optimum value for key drilling parameters such as equivalent circulation density (ECD), yield point

Lost in circulation [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cardiac Surgery, 2020
Device complications in complex percutaneous coronary interventions are rare but potentially deadly. Surgical removal is often required. However, an evaluation of surgical therapy beyond case reports is practically not existent.We prospectively followed all cases of retained guide wires and/or other devices referred to us for surgical removal between ...
