Method and system for selecting lost circulation materials for boring a well

A system for selecting lost circulation materials (LCM) for boring a well, the system comprising:

• a computer system executing an LCM blend optimization engine that:
• determines, for a plurality of LCM blends, a plurality of overall scores based on characteristics associated with each of the plurality of LCM blends;
• and
• establishes a list of LCM blend candidates comprising:
• including a first of the plurality of LCM blends in a list of LCM blend candidates based on a first overall score associated with the first LCM blend;
• and
• excluding a second of the plurality of LCM blends from the list of LCM blend candidates, based on a second overall score associated with the second LCM blend,
• wherein the first overall score is greater than the second overall score.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising a plurality of machine-readable instructions executed by one or more processors, the plurality of machine-readable instructions causing the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• determining, for a plurality of LCM blends, a plurality of overall scores based on characteristics associated with each of the plurality of LCM blends;
• and
• establishing a list of LCM blend candidates comprising:
• including a first of the plurality of LCM blends in a list of LCM blend candidates based on a first overall score associated with the first LCM blend;
• and
• excluding a second of the plurality of LCM blends from the list of LCM blend candidates, based on a second overall score associated with the second LCM blend,
• wherein the first overall score is greater than the second overall score.
