FORM-A-SET

New-generation cross-linking polymer LCM

FORM-A-SET is a cross-linking polymeric lost circulation material for all water, oil and synthetic-based drilling fluids. FORM-A-SET fibrous lost-circulation materials is designed to plug the matrix and naturally fractured or vugular zones. When activated with time and temperature, FORM-A-SET produces a rubbery, ductile, spongy, soft set gel that effectively prevents loss of fluid to the formation.

The lost-circulation material in the FORM-A-SET package is a fibrous cellulose containing a wide variation of particle sizes.

FORM-A-SET is applicable for any application where a squeeze plug would be beneficial, is particularly advantageous in areas where loss of whole mud is prevalent. FORM-A-SET may also be employed to shut off water flows and stabilize gravel sections. Equally effective in vertical and horizontal wellbores, FORM-A-SET can be weighted with M-I BART or FER-OX.T and can be used to shut off losses to depleted sands and isolate gas/water zones. It may even eliminate the requirement for additional casing string.

FORM-A-SET may be blended with either freshwater, seawater or saltwater up to saturation. Seawater and sodium chloride tend to retard the crosslink set time. FORM-A-SET may be used to stop losses occurring with any water- and non-aqueous-base fluid systems. Since FORM-A-SET contains cross linking agents and polymers in the same package, FORM-A-SET RET is not required at lower temperatures.
