    Lost circulation is a complicated problem to be banned or combatted during the drilling operations. Mud losses remedies are extensively used to stop or mitigate losses using remedial methods or to prevent mud losses using proactive measures. Lost circulation presents a lot of big challenges during drilling. To address these problems, a number of methods/techniques have evolved over the years. The Rumaila field in Iraq is one of the largest oilfields in the world. Wells drilled in this field are highly susceptible to lost circulation problems when drilling through the Hartha formation. Lost circulation events range from seepage losses to complete loss of the borehole and are a critical issue in field development. This paper describes a study of the lost circulation events for more than 300 wells drilled in the Rumaila field. Lost circulation events were extracted from daily drilling re.. View More»
