Particle-plugging test

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-002710

A laboratory procedure conducted to evaluate the ability of a drilling fluid to seal permeable formations and prevent fluid loss. It measures the volume of fluid that passes through a permeable medium, such as a ceramic disk, under differential pressure. The test assesses the effectiveness of bridging agents and fluid loss control additives in forming a filter cake.
