Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Portland cement clinker LCMs that include Portland cement clinker to mitigate or prevent lost circulation in a well are provided. A Portland cement clinker LCM may include Portland cement clinker, Portland cement, a carrier fluid, and an inorganic consolidation activator. Another Portland cement clinker LCM may include Portland cement clinker and a crosslinked fluid, such as a polyuronide crosslinked via calcium ions or a polysaccharide crosslinked via divinyl sulfone. Yet another Portland cement clinker LCM may include Portland cement clinker and polymer fibers or particulate glass. Methods of lost circulation control using a Portland cement clinker LCM are also provided.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A lost circulation material (LCM) composition, comprising: Portland cement clinker, wherein the Portland cement clinker consists of non-hydraulic, non-cementiceous unground Portland cement clinker particles; cement, wherein the cement comprises API Class G cement; and a carrier fluid. 2. The LCM composition of claim 1 , wherein the Portland cement clinker comprises ASTM International Type I cement clinker, ASTM International Type V cement clinker, API Class A cement clinker, or API Class G cement clinker. 3. The LCM composition of claim 1 , wherein the weight ratio of carrier fluid to cement clinker is 1:1. 4. The LCM composition of claim 1 , wherein the weight ratio of cement clinker to cement is in the range of 60:40 to 90:10.
