Lost Circulation Material (LCM) refers to a range of specially engineered additives used in drilling fluids to mitigate lost circulation, a condition where drilling fluid escapes into fractures, vugs, or highly permeable formations instead of returning to the surface. LCM materials vary in particle size, shape, and composition and are categorized as fibrous, granular, or flake-based to effectively seal different types of formation losses. By forming a bridging and sealing barrier within the formation, LCM enhances wellbore stability, minimizes non-productive time (NPT), and prevents costly fluid losses. The selection and concentration of LCM depend on well conditions, severity of fluid loss, and compatibility with drilling fluid systems to ensure optimal performance without compromising circulation or fluid rheology.
