Lost Circulation Material
Lost circulation material (LCM) is a crucial component in drilling operations, particularly in the oil and gas industry. It is used to combat lost circulation, a common drilling problem where drilling fluids are lost into the formation instead of returning to the surface. LCMs are vital in mitigating the risks and costs associated with lost circulation during drilling operations.

It plays an important role in construction, be it as a building material (marble) or as an ingredient in cement. Used to form clear-brine workover and completion fluid with densities ranging from 8.4 to 10 lb/ gal. Increase shale inhibition by decreasing water activity, reducing formation salt dissolution, reducing freezing point of water base fluids and reducing the potential of forming gas hydrates.
