  • Patent number: 11230659
    Abstract: A filling material for underground treatment of the present invention contains at least one polyvinyl alcohol-based resin of a modified polyvinyl alcohol-based resin and an unmodified polyvinyl alcohol, and a swelling ratio of the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin after immersion in water at a temperature of 80° C. for 30 minutes is 250% to 900%. The filling material for underground treatment has enhanced swelling performance, is effective in preventing phenomena such as lost circulation, and has improved workability of filling a well drilled part with the filling material.
