Loss Circulation
Loss circulation plugs for severe losses
A high fluid-loss plug is a squeeze material for severe or total losses: the liquid is forced out under pressure, leaving a solid plug inside the fracture. Galaxy Drilling Fluids Pvt Ltd supplies 2 such products, GS Lox and GS Seal M.
How a squeeze plug differs from LCM
LCM travels with the mud and bridges openings as it circulates. A high fluid-loss plug is mixed as a separate pill, placed across the loss zone and squeezed. It is intended for the losses that ordinary bridging material cannot stop.
The two products
GS Lox dehydrates inside the crack to form a hard plug. GS Seal M is a fast-setting plug for loss zones. Placement and the volumes involved depend on the well, and Galaxy Drilling Fluids Pvt Ltd provides application support before the order.

Frequently asked questions
What is used to stop total losses while drilling?
Severe or total losses are commonly treated with a squeeze pill, such as a high fluid-loss plug, placed across the loss zone. Galaxy Drilling Fluids Pvt Ltd supplies GS Lox and GS Seal M for this purpose.
What is a high fluid-loss squeeze pill?
It is a pill designed to lose its liquid quickly under pressure, so that the solids left behind dehydrate into a plug inside the fracture. GS Lox, supplied by Galaxy Drilling Fluids Pvt Ltd, works in this way.
