The mineral barite is a key component in drilling mud, which is used in the oil and gas industry to prevent blow-outs, where high pressures at depth can force material upwards through the drill shaft. Mined barite is ground to a fine powder and mixed with mud to make a heavy slurry. The mud is then poured down the drill hole creating a plug ...
Water-Based Mud Ultimate Guide
— Normally, we accomplish salt contamination and elimination of the development of large cavities in the salt formation by saturating water-based mud with salt. Dispersed Drilling Mud. A dispersed water-based drilling mud usually uses drilling chemicals that cause the clay platelets to "disperse," or separate, within the liquid phase (Fig.2).

— Barite is a mineral that is very vital to the development of the Nigerian oil and gas sector. It plays essential role as a weighing material in drilling muds used in oil and gas drilling primarily to prevent the explosive release of gas during drilling. It is also used in the plastic, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, paper making and paint
AMC BARITE™
AMC BARITE™ is added through a mud hopper or suitable shearing device. The amount of AMC BARITE™ required to increase the fluid density can be calculated using the following formulas: AMC BARITE, kg / m³ = 4200 (w2 – w1) / 4.2 – w2. w1 = Initial mud weight in specific gravity w2 = Desired mud weight in specific gravity.
