What is Barite Used For?
Barite is an essential component in the oil and gas drilling industry. It serves as a weighting agent in drilling fluids. Why is Weighting Necessary? Drilling deep into the Earth's crust involves encountering high pressures and temperatures. Weighting agents like barite help control these pressures and prevent well blowouts.
