HEMATITE is a high – density weighting material. Thehematite ore used as a weighting agent in drilling fluids has a mica like crystal structure ground to a particle size suitable for use in drilling fluids.
HEMATITE is used to obtain mud weights in excess Of 20.0 ppg in water based drilling fluids, 19.0 ppg in oil based drilling fluids, or any time that exceptional control is required of solids percentage for rheology control.
HEMATITE has a specific gravity of > 5.05, which is 19% greater than the density of BARITE (4.1). Thus, for a given mud weight, a system weighted with Hematite will contain fewer solids by volume. A lower solids concent ration will contribute to improved rheological properties, improved penetration rate and decreased overall mud costs.
