  • Publication number: 20230272709
    Abstract: A method of designing a fluid loss control treatment for a low pressure zone within a wellbore from drilling datasets indicative of drilling the wellbore. The design process can determine a fluid loss rate and a fracture location from the drilling dataset.

The filter property of the interface includes a porosity value, a permeability value, or combinations thereof that exceeds a threshold value. The design process may generate a fluid loss control treatment comprising a quantity of particles and a volume of carrier fluid for the fracture geometry within the wellbore.
