A Novel Approach to Investigating Transport of Lost Circulation Materials in Rough Fracture

The drilling fluid loss or lost circulation via fractures is one of the critical engineering problems in the development of deep oil and gas resources. The conventional treatment is to introduce granular lost circulation material (LCM) into the drilling fluid system to plug fractures. In this work,...
