BARITE is ground barium sulphate that meets API Specification 13A, Section 20. BARITE is used to increase the density of drilling fluids when required to control formation pressures. BARITE has a minimum specific gravity of 4.15 and can be used to increase density in water and oil-based systems up to 2720 kg/m³.
It is increases mud density up to 2720 kg/m³. It can Control formation pressure. It is used to Stabilize the borehole
Additions of water and/or thinners may be required at higher densities (>2400 kg/m³). Approximately 90 X 40 kg bags will increase the system volume by 1m³.
