Barite in Drilling Fluids
Barite in Drilling. Barite is the most used additive in drilling fluids. The the high-density barite mud suspends the rock cuttings produced by the drill and carries them up to the surface. Not surprising that 70% (according to The Barytes Association) of the world's barite consumption is used for oil and gas applications.
