Abstract

Wellbore strengthening has been recently introduced as a technique to prevent and treat lost circulation of the drilling fluids. This work overviews different polymeric formulations crosslinked with organic and in-organic crosslinkers as lost circulation materials (LCM) to seal fractures for wellbore strengthening applications. Functionalized silica showed a potential to replace the conventional use of polyethyleneimine (PEI). Moreover, nanosilica with various sizes can reinforce the developed gels and improve the stability of the formulations. On the other hand, environmentally friendly in-organic crosslinkers such as cobalt acetate and aluminum acetate were implemented for high and low-temperature applications as alternatives to the toxic chromium acetate.
