RXSOL H (Aromatic Hydrocarbon)
Mica Fine Sack
Loss Circulation Material (LCM) mica products an excellent choice for the oil and natural gas drilling mud and field services industries.
Application
Used in the Loss Circulation applications during drilling operations.
* RXSOL LCM Mica products can be used in both oil and water-based drilling muds to prevent loss of circulation. Our mica can be used in horizontal , directional and veritcal drilling applications where it aides in sealing loss circulation zones with its flakey, flat structure and increases borehold stability.
* Secondary but significant benefits of LCM Mica include improved sample recovery, formation pressure control, cuttings dropped more easily in a surface disposal area, minimization of drilling fluid losses into formations and reduction of wear and corrosion on the drilling equipment.
