SUMMARY
Lost circulation presents a lot of challenges while drilling. To address these problems, a number of methods/techniques have evolved over the years. The objectives of this study are:
1. To review lost circulation control methods that have been applied in the drilling industry till date
2. To provide the successes and the failures of these methods in field applications and to develop practical guidelines that will serve as a reference material for lost circulation control at the well-site for drilling personnel. To achieve these study objectives, a selected number of technical journals, papers, textbooks, and manuals that address the problem of lost circulation were carefully reviewed and summarized. The results of this study are practical guidelines that are not biased towards a particular service industry product but are general to the mitigation of the problem of lost circulation while drilling. A flow chart has also been developed that will serve as a quick reference guide for drilling personnel at the well-site
