When it comes to oil and gas drilling, Oil Drilling Grade Barite is a critical weighting agent that ensures operational stability and drilling safety. Sourced from high-quality barium sulfate ore and processed to exacting API standards, our Oil Drilling Grade Barite provides consistent density, excellent suspension properties, and zero contamination risk—making it the top choice for oilfield professionals worldwide.
Whether you're drilling onshore or offshore, in vertical or directional wells, using water-based or oil-based mud, our Oil Drilling Grade Barite guarantees optimal performance under the most demanding conditions.
What Is Oil Drilling Grade Barite?
Oil Drilling Grade Barite is a high-purity, heavy-weight mineral primarily composed of barium sulfate (BaSO₄). Used as a weighting material in drilling muds, it helps maintain hydrostatic pressure, prevent blowouts, and ensure wellbore integrity during deep well drilling.
Our Oil Drilling Grade Barite meets or exceeds international standards, including:
✅ API 13A Section 7 (4.2 SG and 4.1 SG)
✅ OCMA Standard
✅ ISO 9001 Certified Processing
Key Specifications of Oil Drilling Grade Barite
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Specific Gravity | 4.20 min (API) |
| BaSO₄ Content | ≥ 90% |
| Residue (75μm sieve) | ≤ 3% |
| Water Soluble Alkaline Earth Metals | ≤ 250 mg/kg |
| Moisture Content | ≤ 1.0% |
| pH Value | 6.5 – 9.5 |
We offer both lump and powder forms (200 mesh, 325 mesh), customizable to your mud formulation needs.
Benefits of Using Oil Drilling Grade Barite
💪 High Density (4.2+ SG) – Provides effective bottom-hole pressure to counter formation fluids
🧪 Chemically Inert – Non-reactive in oil and water-based muds
🚫 Low Solubility – Prevents contamination or adverse chemical reactions
🏗️ Improved Mud Rheology – Enhances suspension stability and cuttings removal
💰 Reduces Non-Productive Time – Ensures smooth drilling progress and reduced downtime
Applications of Oil Drilling Grade Barite
Oil Drilling Grade Barite is indispensable in a wide range of oilfield applications:
🛢️ Oil & Gas Exploration – Used in deep wells to balance hydrostatic pressure
🌊 Offshore Drilling Platforms – Enhances mud weight without affecting viscosity
🛠️ Directional & Horizontal Drilling – Stabilizes borehole walls and controls formation pressure
🔩 Blowout Prevention – Maintains pressure gradients in high-risk drilling environments
No other weighting agent offers the same level of purity, density, and consistency as our Oil Drilling Grade Barite.
