Abstract
1,144,275. Wells. SHELL INTERNATIONALE RESEARCH MAATSCHAPPIJ N.V. 18 July, 1967 [20 July, 1966], No. 33038/67. Heading E1F. Loss of drilling fluid in an underground formation with at least one cavity is prevented by preparing a suspension of particles in a viscous carrier; injecting the suspension into the borehole simultaneously with but separately from a liquid having viscosity-breaking properties; mixing the suspension and the liquid just before they enter the cavity system; stopping flow when the cavity is blocked and injecting a plastering liquid. Particles, viscous carriers, viscosity breakers and plastering liquids are exemplified as are modifications of the method involving particle size injection technique and slug feeds.
