Zusammenfassung:Methods of locating a loss zone in a wellbore in a subterranean formation including determining a calculated wellhead pressure, calculating a wellhead pressure differential, calculating a flow rate loss, estimating a loss zone depth, determining a modified calculated wellhead pressure, and calculating a modified wellhead pressure differential until the modified wellhead pressure differential corresponds to a loss zone location in the wellbore.
