BARITE - The Drill Shop

1 BARITED escriptionBarite or Bartyes is a high quality barium sulphate (BaSO4) micronized to meet API 13A specifications used to increase mud density in all types of drilling fluid systems, oil or water based. AMC s BARITE is chemically inert to all drilling fluids is used to increase the density of any drilling fluid system and increase fluid density up to (21 pounds per gallon). BARITE is added to a mud system to help control formation pressures, stabilise the borehole or used in kill fluids. Advantages Easy to use Density increases to (21 pounds per gallon) Low addition rate to achieve high densities Controls formation pressures Improves borehole stability Chemically inert Does not react with other additives Limited particle AGENTWith more than 20 years experience, AMC has enjoyed a successful history of supplying specialist drilling products to the mineral, oil & gas, water well, horizontal directional drilling, civil and tunnelling industries world wide.

2 The success of AMC is due to its quality products, and the dedication of its skilled team who offer on site support where and when customers need factors will dictate the most appropriate concentration rate. Please contact your nearest AMC representative for optimum results. Typical PropertiesAppearance: Tan powderSpecific gravity: Recommended TreatmentBarite is added through a mud hopper or suitable shearing device. The amount of BARITE required to increase the fluid density can be calculated using the following formulas: BARITE , kg / m = 4200 (w2- w1) - w2w1 = Initial mud weight in specific gravityw2 = Desired mud weight in specific gravityBarite, kg / m = 1470 (w2- w1) 35 - w1w1 = Initial mud weight in lb/galw2 = Desired mud weight in lb/galPackaging*25 kg sack1000 kg bulkerBulkRev.
