الملخص
Eliminating or controlling lost circulation during drilling process is costly and time-
consuming. Polymers play an important role in mud loss control for their viscosity due to their
high molecular weight. In this paper, three natural cellulosic polymers (carboxymethyl
cellulose, guar gum and potato starch) were investigated as lost circulation control material
by measuring different filtration parameters such as; spurt loss, fluid loss and permeability
plugging tester value according to the American Petroleum Institute (API) standard.
