Feature And Benefits
BARITE (API) is chemically inert to all drilling fluid additives. BARITE (API) is ground to such a particle size that a minimum of 97% will pass through a 200 mesh screen and a maximum of 25% will be less than 6 microns at a specific gravity of 4.20.
Product Function
BARITE (API) is a cost effective means of increasing and/or maintaining drilling fluid density. BARITE (API) is used to weight up mud system up to 21.0 ppg (SG 2.52).
Recommended treatment
MUD PER BBL Barite required =1470 (W2 –W1) lb/(35– W2) MUD PER M3 Material required =4200 (SG2 – SG1) kg/(4.2 – SG2) Where : W1 = Initial mud density (lb/gal) W2 = Desired mud density (lb/gal) SG1 = Initial mud specific gravity SG2 = Desired mud specific gravity
Shipping References
Transportation of BARITE (API) is not restricted by any regulatory agency.
Handling Recommendations
Utilize normal precautions for employee protection when handling chemical products. Utilize appropriate respirator, gloves, goggles and apron. Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for this product prior to use.
Standard Packing
BARITE (API) is packaged in 25 kgs multiwall paper sack, 1 or 1.5 MT big bag.
