Weighting Materials - Mineral Exploration

Barite is a weighting material possessing a specific gravity ranging from 4.2-4.3. It is used in all muds, including water-based mud, to increase the density or weight. Mud weights up to about 20 ppg can be obtained without incurring strains on pump drilling equipment.

Cal Carb 325 is an optimal weighting agent for drilling in pressured zones and for completion and workover fluids, ensuring easy cleanup of the production zone to enhance well productivity. Its ability to dissolve in hydrochloric acid effectively prevents fluid invasion and loss of circulation during drilling, workover, and completion activities.
