Abstract

A smart system for circulating LCM can implement a method. While a wellbore is being drilled in a geologic formation, drilling parameters identifying wellbore drilling conditions of a wellbore drilling system drilling the wellbore are received. The wellbore drilling system flows a wellbore drilling fluid including particulates of different size distributions. The particulates operate as LCM to reduce loss of the wellbore drilling fluid in the geologic formation. Size distributions of the particulates in the wellbore drilling fluid flowing through multiple different wellbore fluid flow pathways of the wellbore drilling system are received. The size distributions represent a concentration of the particulates in the wellbore drilling fluid. A release of certain particulates into the wellbore drilling fluid is controlled based, in part, on the received drilling parameters and the received size distributions of the particulates.
