FIBER FMC

Description:

Petra Fiber FMC is a specialized product consisting of micronized cellulose fibers that can help solve
lost circulation problems encountered during drilling operations. It is effective in both water-base
and oil-base mud systems, as well as work over fluids, and serves as a source of stabilizing shale.
Petra Fiber FMC reduces torque and drag in highly deviated wells, seals depleted sands, and
minimizes fluid invasion.

The product is available in three different grades: fine, medium, and coarse. Petra Fiber Medium and
Coarse Grades are ideal for use as lost circulation additives to mitigate seepage loss. Petra Fiber Fine,
on the other hand, is designed to penetrate the wall cake and form an impermeable thin skin on the
filter bed. This thin skin helps minimize fluid invasion into the formation, making it an effective
solution for preventing lost circulation.

Petra Fiber FMC can be used to fix lost circulation problems encountered during drilling operations,
making it a valuable tool in the oil and gas industry. Its effectiveness in stabilizing shale, reducing
torque and drag, and minimizing fluid invasion makes it an essential additive for drilling fluids,
cement slurries, and work over fluids. With its three different grades, Petra Fiber FMC offers
customers the flexibility to choose the grade that best suits their specific needs.

Application:
P Petra Fiber FMC is a specialized product that is engineered to address lost
circulation problems that may arise due to cracks or fissures in various formations,
including shale, coal, and unconsolidated sand. This product is none damaging,
ensuring that it does not adversely affect the integrity of the formation.

The cellulose fibers used in Petra Fiber FMC are strong and resilient, allowing them to
withstand the rigors of circulation without disintegrating. Petra Fiber FMC can be
used for sealing high permeability sands where substantial seepage loss exists. In
addition to its sealing properties, Petra Fiber FMC also helps prevent differential
sticking of drill strings and casing by sealing depleted sand.

With its specialized design and exceptional properties, Petra Fiber FMC is an effective
solution for lost circulation problems in a variety of drilling applications. Its
resilience, none damaging qualities, and ability to seal high permeability sands make it
a valuable tool in the oil and gas industry.
