Kwik-Seal

Kwik-Seal additive is a blend of granular, flake, and fibrous materials designed primarily to stop lost circulation in a wide range of conditions with water-based drilling fluids. To function effectively over the widest range of lost circulation conditions, Kwik-Seal additive is available in the following three grinds:

  • Coarse grind
  • Medium grind
  • Fine grind

Application

For the control and elimination of circulation due to fractures, highly  permeable  zones  or  broken  unconsolidated  formations . KWIK-SEAL is more effective than other products in sealing loss zones, regardless of the type of lost circulation.

Recommended treatment

KWIK-SEAL (coarse)  is  recommended  for  the  sealing  of  very  large  fractures . It should  be  used  with  open  water  course  bits  or  an  open  ended  drill  pipe  and  spotted  opposite  the  loss  zone . A slug  containing  30  to  40  ppb  (85  to  114  kg/m3)  of  product  is  usually  sufficient.

KWIK-SEAL (medium)  seals  medium  to  fine  fractures  and  porous  zones. It can be  used  with  jet  bits  and  a  concentration  of  between  10  to  15  ppb  (26  to  43  kg/m3)  is  recommended.

KWIK-SEAL (fine) should be  used  as  a  preventive  material  for  sealing  fine  fractures  and  porous  formations . A concentration if between 3 to 6 ppb (8.5 to 17 kg/m3) is recommended. It will not plug shale shaker screens.

Packaging

KWIK-SEAL is  packaged  in 25 / 50 Kg bags. Customized packaging is also available on request.
