Location: Global Well type: Open hole Case benefits — Multiple lost circulation zones located rapidly, reducing downtime and cost. — Safe and efficient drilling operations restored enabling well completion. — Rapid deployment through-drill pipe minimised disruption and cost. — Potential for future drilling programmes to be optimised to avoid lost circulation and downtime. Challenge Drilling fluid losses pose a significant risk to operational safety and can complicate drilling and cementing operations, leading to costly delays. A customer was experiencing mud losses and gas kicks whilst drilling a well with high hydrogen sulphide concentration. All remediation attempts, including mud weight adjustment, had been unsuccessful and mud losse
