NOTES : -

1. MIXING : AS A MATTER OF GOOD PRACTICE , ANY L C M SHOULD BE ADDED IN CONSISTENT CONCENTRATIONS AND
SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY BLENDED WITH THE DRILLING FLUID .
PUMPING VOLUMES OF POORLY MIXED L C M MUST BE AVOIDED.
2. OTHER LCM's : THE ABOVE LIST IS NOT EXHAUSTIVE - IF ANY NEW L C M ' s ARE ENCOUNTERED , THE NEYRFOR
ENGINEER MUST VISUALLY INSPECT THE L C M TO DETERMINE IF IT WILL PASS THROUGH THE TURBODRILL.
( I.E. SIZE AND LENGTH OF PARTICLES, STRINGINESS/LIKELIHOOD OF PRODUCT TO 'BALL - UP' WHEN MIXING ETC.)
3. LCM PILLS : ENGINEERS MUST ALWAYS DISCUSS PROPOSED L C M PILLS + NEW L C M 's WITH TOWN.
4. LCM CONCENTRATIONS : THE ABOVE ACCEPTABLE CONCENTRATIONS ARE BASED ON INDIVIDUAL L C M PRODUCTS.
OVER MIXING OF SIMILAR-TYPE L C M's SHOULD BE AVOIDED - ESPECIALLY IF OF A FIBROUS / STRINGY NATURE.
N.B. : IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE MAXIMUM COMBINED CONCENTRATION FOR A SINGLE PILL IS 100 lb/Bbl
5. OIL BASED MUDS : THE USE OF OIL WETTING AGENTS WILL AID MIXING OF LCM WHEN USED WITH O.B.M. - AND SHOULD STOP -
(OR AT LEAST REDUCE) THE CHANCES OF THE L.C.M. FROM BALLING-UP WHEN MIXING.
6. REPORTING. : FAX or E-MAIL ATTACHED 'LCM+TURBODRILL REPORT' TO TOWN AFTER EVERY TURBODRILL RUN USING LCM.
THE REPORT PLUS LCM SAMPLES WILL BE FORWARDED FROM TOWN TO TECHNICAL DEPARTMENT.
7. OTHER MUD ADDITIVES : - BEADS OF VARIOUS MATERIALS HAVE BEEN FOUND TO LOCK-UP THE TURBODRILL. PLEASE REFER TO
MEMO FROM TECHNICAL DEPT. OF 20/3/2001 (REF. 1550) - WHICH DETAILS POSSIBLE PROBLEMS WHEN 'BEADS' ARE ADDED TO MUD.

8 THE SYMBOL " Y " IN THE END COLUMN = SAMPLE AVAILABLE IN TECH. DEPT. N.B. : PLEASE OBTAIN ANY OTHERS WHEN POSSIBLE.
