Lost circulation control materials. Progress report [PDF]
, 1994 Work in FY 94 continued to investigate the use of calcium phosphate cements as lost circulation control materials for geothermal wells. The calcium phosphate cements were produced by reacting calcium aluminate cement with sodium phosphate compounds. Pumpable formulations with thickening times up to two hours at temperatures between 25 to 90{degrees}C ...

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021 Abstract The reverse circulation drilling method is now widely accepted as an effective way of exploration and grade control. However, the performance of reverse circulation drilling operations is greatly affected by the filtration effect (lost circulation) and no research has critically addressed this issue.
