Abstract

Loss circulation material (LCM) and method for treating loss circulation in a wellbore in a subterranean formation, including placing the LCM having a solid body with permeable portions or pores into the wellbore to dispose the LCM at the loss circulation zone, and collecting solids onto the LCM at the loss circulation zone to form a barrier. The LCM may be applied at a loss circulation zone in a hydrocarbon reservoir section of the subterranean formation, and upon subsequent hydrocarbon production the collected solids may be dislodged by the produced hydrocarbon to allow for hydrocarbon production through the permeable portions or pores of the disposed LCM.
