Abstract
Drilling mud have a very important role in a drilling operations, start over drilling until it reaches the depth of the intended. In the importance of drilling mud, therefore there should have an analysis of potential problems that might happen in the process of the drilling. The Problems that might happen in the process of drilling one of them is about the loss circulation. To overcome the problem of lost circulation mud , one example is a method of loss circulation material (LCM).There were different LCM category but in this study used Kwik seal and the midrib bananas as an ingredient LCM. Both of them have the fibrous having the nature of stiffness so it can clog the pores. In research was done three times experiment with the additional kwik seal and adding different banana midrib .This study using specification of physical properties and rheology standard of a mud field drilling to get results like the environment actually on the ground .The results of research is expected us to know how much composition kwik seal or the midrib bananas to be added to the mud and effective to overcome lost circulation .
