2021-6-21 Barite physically is not soluble in water and does not cause any chemical reactions with other drilling mud chemicals. In general, barite is used for raising the density of water-based mud and oil-based drilling fluids up to 22 ppg (2.64 sg). Barite is also used for weighting up kill fluids, and in the Barite

2021-1-5 Density and Specific Gravity Calculations For mud. The density of a material is defined as its mass per unit volume and is usually expressed in units of g/cm3, kg/m3 or, commonly in oilfield usage for liquids, lb/US gal. As an example, the density of (barite) is 4 g/cm3.
Drilling fluid density is usually called mud weight. Normal pressure formations generally have a pressure gradient similar to a water gradient. For various reasons formation fluid pressures are frequently higher. Barite or hematite is used to increase the drilling fluid density.
