Barite ore
Moroccan barite ore for use as a weighting material in oil and gas drilling fluids.
Barite is a naturally dense mineral composed mainly of barium sulfate. In drilling-fluid preparation, its weight helps a fluid system meet the density required by the application.
Our Moroccan ore is supplied as white-grey lumps, with a minimum specific gravity of 4.20 and minimum BaSO₄ content of 88%. The chemical and physical characteristics are listed below.
