MAGMA FIBER
MAGMA FIBER is a specially formulated acid-soluble extrusion-spun mineral fiber. MAGMA FIBER is used in both water and oil-based fluids to control lost circulation. MAGMA FIBER is available in two grades: Fine and Coarse.
Application
MAGMA FIBER can be used as a plugging agent in porous and fractured formations. MAGMA FIBER can be used to plug circulation loss zones and areas with seepage losses.
Advantages
- Compatible with all oil- and water-based fluids
- Acid soluble, 97.3% in 7.5% Hydrochloric acid (HCl)
- Easily-wetted, non-corrosive, non-fermenting and environmentally-safe
- Effective plugging and bridging agent for voids, fractures and all types of permeable formation
