Drilling Barite

The nonmetallic mineral with an incredible specific gravity. Barite is a mineral composed of barium sulfate (BaSO4). Barite is one of the foremost common and high usage mineral that our company exports with varied grads, density, meshing, and different specification special for some works like gas and oil drilling, medical and cosmetics, civil and constructions, fluidizing, barium chemicals, ceramics, and plenty different fields. However, our most exportation refers to drilling barite that uses to create drilling fluid. The overwhelming majority of the barite that is mined is used by the petroleum industry as a weighting material in the formulation of drilling mud. Barite increases the hydrostatic pressure of the drilling mud allowing it to compensate for high-pressure zones experienced during drilling. The softness of the mineral also prevents it from damaging drilling tools during drilling and enables it to serve as a lubricant.
