ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein are embodiments of a method and system for delivering lost circulation material, particularly cottonseed hulls, into oil and gas drilling pits. According to one exemplary embodiment, a method of delivering lost circulation material from a bulk source to a drilling well mud system for controlling lost circulation within a drilling well bore includes positioning a bulk container of lost circulation material at a location in the vicinity of but removed from drilling well mud system.
