Abstract: A device includes a housing having a bore formed axially therethrough. The housing includes a stop that protrudes radially inward proximate to a lower end of the housing. The device also includes a lower piston positioned in the bore. The lower piston is configured to move axially within the bore in response to a pressure differential across the lower piston. The lower piston is prevented from passing out through the lower end of the housing by the stop. The lower piston has a lower piston hole formed therethrough. The device also includes an upper piston positioned in the bore. The upper piston is configured to move axially within the bore in response to a pressure differential across the upper piston. The upper piston has an upper piston hole formed therethrough. The device is configured to receive a fluid in the bore, between the upper and lower pistons.

Abstract: Wellbore fluid compositions containing a base fluid; at least one synthetic fiber; and a particulate solid; where one or more of the at least one synthetic fiber and the particulate solid are completely or substantially acid soluble are provided. In another aspect, methods of reducing loss of wellbore fluid in a wellbore to a formation are provided, including: introducing into the wellbore a fluid composition comprising one or more synthetic fibers and one or more particulate solids.
