Walnut Shell (Nut Plug) F/M/C is a granular, hard, and resilient lost circulation material
processed from natural walnut shells. It is used to bridge and plug fractures, vugs, and highly
permeable formations in drilling and workover operations.
APPLICATION :
Added to water- and oil-based drilling fluids to cure and prevent lost circulation. The fine,
medium, and coarse grades can be used individually or in combination to optimize bridging across
a wide range of formation openings.
ADVANTAGES :
High mechanical strength and resilience.
Effective in bridging and sealing natural fractures and loss zones.
Can be used in both preventive and remedial LCM pills.
Compatible with most drilling fluid systems.
Non-toxic and derived from natural, renewable sources.
Helps reduce non-productive time associated with lost circulation.
