This has caused the price of barite to increase. Price levels during 2012 were between 10% and 20% higher than 2011 in many important markets. The typical price of drilling mud barite is about $150 per metric ton at the mine. Substitutes for barite in drilling mud include celestite, ilmenite, iron ore, and synthetic hematite. None of these ...

A major issue with the use of the weighting agents is that they settle out of the mud, causing density fluctuations that ultimately result in pipe sticking, lost circulation, and even well abandonment (Amani, 2018; Amighi and Moghadam, 2011; Paslay et al., 2007).This phenomenon is called barite sagging (Fig. 1), due to the predominant use of …

Barite is considered a "critical mineral" in domestic metallurgical applications that serve energy technologies (Fortier and others, 2018). 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.

BaSO4 (Baryte or Barite) mineral barium sulfate is generally white. Barite usually serves as a weighting agent in drilling muds for HDD and drilling fluids in oil and gas exploration. Product density avoids high-pressure blowouts (non-magnetic). Product with a specific gravity of 4.10+ is milled to 200 mesh particle size.

Barite or weight material sag is a problem of drilling mud and it occurs when weighting material (barite, calcium carbonate, etc) separate from liquid phase and settle down. The method is based in part on continuously measuring fluid density during the first circulation after the fluid has been static after some time.
