The importance of implementing proper mixing procedures in the preparation of HEC and corn starch mixtures for controlling fluid loss

This paper discusses the prospect of utilising the corn starch and hydroxyetil cellulose (HEC) mixture as fluid loss control agent in workover fluid. Prior to conducting the experiment, workover fluid sample was prepared by mixing corn starch with HEC, the standard fluid loss control agent used in t...
