Loss circulation is one of the most persistent challenges in drilling operations. When drilling fluid escapes into fractures or permeable formations, it not only drives up costs but also compromises wellbore stability, delays operations, and in severe cases, threatens well control. Traditional approaches to managing loss circulation rely heavily on reactive measures such as pumping lost circulation materials (LCMs) after a problem has already occurred. While this can help, it often leads to trial-and-error applications and extended non-productive time (NPT). The industry, however, is witnessing a paradigm shift with the adoption of real-time diagnostics . These technologies, such as Vertechs’ Real-Time Wellbore Strengthening Solution ( RWSS ) , are transforming how operators predict, detect, and mitigate fluid losses before they escalate. From Reactive to Proactive Loss Circulation Management Historically, drilling crews identified loss circulation only after mud volumes in the pits...
