Abstract
A rapidly dehydrating fluid (RDF) composition that forms a permeable and decomposable plug and methods of lost circulation control and manufacture of the RDF composition. The RDF composition may include a carrier fluid such as water, a cellulosic microfiber viscosifier, date tree seed particles, and fibers formed from date tree waste such as date tree trunks. The RDF composition may mitigate or prevent lost circulation by forming a decomposable plug in a fracture of the lost circulation zone and may also enable the production of hydrocarbons from the zone without removal of the plug.
