Case History PreFixTM, ProppFixTM, and FracFixTM Lost Circulation Materials Cut Fluid Losses by Over 40% Challenge Reduce fluid losses in the Lance and Mesaverde formations Solution Newpark’s engineered solution using PreFIX, ProppFIX, and FracFIX mechanical wellbore stabilization fluids Results Mitigated lost circulation with an engineered economical solution; reduced fluid losses by over 40% Pinedale Anticline, Wyoming While drilling deeper into the Mesaverde reserves, lost circulation issues negatively affected the drilling operations. An operator wanted to minimize the waste, reduce costs, and minimize fluid-loss volumes. Pinedale geology has abnormal-pressured formations requiring higher mud densities and expensive casing programs. Interval fluids cost
