Managing lost circulation has always been a huge challenge in the oil industry and the situation becomes more complicated when the formation is fractured or shale formation is involved. However, particulate lost circulation materials (LCMs) have been used to prevent the drilling fluid from entering fractured, cavernous, or high-permeability formations for many years. This study aimed at investigating the efficacy of Snail Shells as filtration loss control additives in water-based drilling muds. The filtration characteristics of the formulated mud samples were tested using American Petroleum Institute (API) filter press and in accordance with API recommended practice for field testing water-based drilling fluids (API RP 13B-1). The experimental study showed that the viscosity of snail shells and calcium carbonate water-based muds were affected by rotational speed. Experimental results of fluid loss for snail shell and calcium carbonate were 6 MLS and 5.8 MLS respectively. Furthermore, the characterization of the Chemical Compound. Composition of Snail Shell and Calcium Carbonate and results show that they have similar characteristics. Therefore, the result shows that snail shell is a better substitute for calcium carbonate in water-based drilling fluid design. Moreso, experimental study has been able to prove that what constitutes environmental degradation is converted to oilfield chemical additive in drilling fluid design.
