The effect of drilling fluids on particular subterranean environments can be analyzed to improve the formation of drilling fluids and additives such as lost circulation materials. A plug can be generated by a particle plugging apparatus by injecting lost circulation material into the particle plugging apparatus. A set of tests to be performed on the plug can be identified. The set of tests can include at least one physical test and at least one electronic test. A test schedule indicating the order in which each test of the set of tests is to be performed can be defined. The set of tests can be executed to generate a testing output. The testing output can be used to generate a three-dimensional network model of the plug.

Provided is a system for emplacing an electrically activated lost circulation material within a wellbore. The system may comprise a bottom hole assembly connected to a drill string, with an activation tool that may be provided along the bottom hole assembly. The system may comprise an activation tool with a non-conductive isolation sleeve having an inner bore, electrodes exposed to an outer surface of the isolation sleeve, conductive cables electrically connecting the electrodes to one of an anode terminal and a cathode terminal, and a seat extending into the inner bore. Further provided is a method for plugging a loss zone in a wellbore that may use at least one activation tool. The method may include circulating an electrically activated lost circulation material to the loss zone and delivering electricity from a power source to electrodes of the activation tool to solidify the electrically activated lost circulation material.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for deploying a lost circulation fabric (LCF) to seal a lost circulation zone during a drilling operation. The LCF may be contained within a lost circulation fabric deployment system (LCFDS) that is coupled to a tubular of a drilling string. The LCFDS may include a controller and sensors to detect the presence of a lost circulation zone and deploy the LCF upon detection of the lost circulation zone. In some implementations, a plurality of LCFDSs may be disposed on the tubular and work in cooperation to deploy a plurality of LCFs to form a seal along the lost circulation zone.

An epoxy resin system composition and a loss circulation material including the reaction product of the epoxy resin system are provided. The epoxy resin system includes a polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) epoxy resin with at least one reactive group, a curing agent, and a CO.sub.2 gas-generating compound. The CO.sub.2 gas-generating compound generates CO.sub.2 during the reaction such that a volume of the lost circulation material is greater than a volume of the epoxy resin system. A method of treating a defect in a wellbore includes introducing the epoxy resin system into the wellbore such that epoxy resin system is proximate to a face of the defect, and maintaining the epoxy resin system at the face of the defect such that the epoxy resin system cures and a lost circulation material forms and fluidly seals the defect in the wellbore.

Systems and methods for managing a loss circulation zone in a subterranean well include a tool housing located on a surface of a tubular member with a tool cavity that is an interior open space within the tool housing. An electromechanical system is located within the tool cavity and has a printed circuit board, a microprocessor, a sensor system, a power source, and a communication port assembly. A release system can move a deployment door of a deployment opening of the tool housing between a closed position and an open position. The deployment opening can provide a flow path between the tool cavity and an outside of the tool housing. The release system is actuable autonomously by the electromechanical system. A releasable product is located within the tool cavity and can travel through the deployment opening when the deployment door is in the open position.
