Magma Fiber

Magma Fiber is a versatile drilling fluid additive. As a lost circulation material (LCM) usage it can be mixed with bentonite or polymer fluids. Magma Fiber is a very effective LCM and can be greatly enhanced by adding DCS Super Swell Coarse. Magma Fiber can also be used to increase cuttings removal in sand and gravel conditions. This fibrous material acts as a mesh-like medium in bentonite gel fluids to carry gravel to the surface pits.

 

APPLICATION:

Magma Fiber should be added directly into pits and gunned into the mud. It can also be mixed through the mud hopper, but it is much slower. Concentrations of up to 30+ lb/bbl in slug treatments can be used or as an additive to the entire system.

Concentrations of ½ bags every 30 minutes for ongoing seepage to concentrations of 5-15 lb/bbl have been used for seepage/partial or total losses. When more than 6-10 bags are mixed at once, someone should be at the shaker screen when the slug comes around to clean or bypass the shaker screen.
