LCM-CEL
Cellulose Fiber Lost Circulation Material
Fibrous cellulose material for lost-circulation sweeps and blends where flexible bridging fibres are required.
Application
Partial losses, seepage control and engineered LCM blends. Fibre length and concentration depend on loss severity and mud rheology.
Technical characteristics (quality certificate)
Typical values as stated on a mill quality certificate (passport) for a standard commercial grade. Actual lot values are confirmed in the COA / TDS for the selected manufacturer.
