Specific Challenge

Fluid loss control in a deepwater, high-permeability sandstone reservoir

Challenge

  • Deepwater, high-permeability sandstone reservoir 
  • Operator identified one of the main challenges to be control of fluid losses after the tubing conveyed perforating (TCP) stage, prior to installing the lower completion and testing the well

Solution

  • Before the TCP stage, 15 bbls K-Max Plus™ was positioned just above the targeted zone 

Result

  • Shortly after the perforation stage, the fluid losses were monitored 
  • K-Max Plus™ effectively reduced the losses from 400 BPH to 1.5 BPH

398.5
