A renewable, biodegradable alternative to synthetic & mineral lost circulation materials — engineered for the well, grown in the field.
Field-proven sealing up to 1,000 psi — independent RIPI lab test (per IPS-G-DR-915).
Suitable for zero-discharge operations and environmentally sensitive wells with strict HSE requirements — a plant-based material that breaks down naturally.
Produced from modified sunflower husk — a renewable, plant-based raw material, not a mined or petrochemical feedstock.
Sealing performance up to 1,000 psi, verified by RIPI per IPS-G-DR-915. Test report available on request.
Compatible with WBM / OBM / SBM drilling-fluid systems across a broad range of applications.
Blends and particle-size fractions tailored to your well program and specification.
Select by grade and fraction to match your loss zone and downhole conditions. Every grade ships to your specified particle-size distribution.
The core plant-based LCM grade for sealing loss zones.
A blended grade combining fractions for a broader sealing profile.
Plant-based LCM grade, supplied to your specified fraction.
A concise, honest comparison of common lost-circulation material types.
| Property | Plant-based LCM (BPMD) | Calcium Carbonate (CaCO₃) | Walnut shells | Synthetic |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Origin | Renewable, plant-based (sunflower husk) | Mineral, mined | Natural, agricultural by-product | Petrochemical / man-made |
| Biodegradable / eco | Yes — biodegradable | Inert mineral, not biodegradable | Natural, slowly biodegradable | Generally not biodegradable |
| Formation damage | Low | Low–moderate (acid-soluble) | Moderate | Depends on chemistry |
| Zero-discharge compatibility | Well-suited | Case-dependent | Case-dependent | Often restricted |
| Cost | Competitive — Price on request | Low–moderate | Moderate | Higher |
Comparison is provided for general orientation. Actual performance depends on the well program, fluid system and loss-zone conditions — request the TDS and RIPI test report for full data.
