SuprSeal® Basic
High-Fluid-Loss Lost Circulation Squeeze Material
SuprSeal® Basic is a high-fluid-loss lost circulation squeeze material engineered to form a durable, formation-strength plug in severe loss environments. Designed for batch and squeeze treatments, the product intentionally exhibits controlled fluid loss to rapidly dehydrate against the formation face, creating a consolidated mass that seals fractures, vugs, and high-permeability zones. Once placed, SuprSeal Basic develops a stable plug that resists erosion from circulation and drill string movement. The system is compatible with both water-based and oil-based drilling fluids and is well suited for applications where conventional lost circulation materials fail to establish a lasting seal.
Advantage
- The controlled high-fluid-loss profile promotes rapid dehydration against the formation face, forming a consolidated, formation-anchored plug.
- Develops a mechanically stable seal that resists erosion from circulation and drill string movement.
- Effectively seals fractures, vugs, and high-permeability zones where conventional LCM blends fail.
- Designed for straightforward batch and squeeze applications without complex blending requirements.
- Compatible with water-based and oil-based drilling fluid systems while reducing reliance on cement squeeze operations.
Application
- SuprSeal Basic is used for severe lost circulation events where formation squeeze treatments are required to establish a durable plug.
- It is specifically suited for fractured, vugular, and highly permeable formations that demand rapid dehydration and consolidation.
- The material is applied as a batch or squeeze treatment placed directly across the loss interval to create a formation-anchored seal.
- It is effective when conventional particulate LCM sweeps fail to restore circulation.
- SuprSeal Basic serves as a pre-cement stabilization option to regain returns and secure wellbore integrity before proceeding with further operations.
Environmental Advantage
- Reduces drilling fluid losses at the source, minimizing mud waste and material disposal.
- Effective squeeze placement decreases the need for repeated treatment cycles, lowering overall additive consumption.
- Reduces reliance on cement squeezes, minimizing excess cement use and associated emissions.
- Faster restoration of circulation reduces non-productive time and associated fuel consumption.
- Compatible with existing solids control systems, limiting unnecessary mud dumping and system contamination.
