Abstracts

Barite is a mineral possessing extremely high specific gravity, this property determines barite use in in oil and gas excavation as a drilling fluid weighting agent. Up to 85% of all barite produced worldwide is used in oil and gas industry. One of the reasons for barite consumption growth was a rising trend to explore deeper and unconventional oil and gas resources. Plus, the vertical drilling technology evolution to horizontal drilling stimulated demand.

Asia Pacific region is the leading supplier of barite to the global market. The region accounts for up to 70% of barite production. China alone produces nearly half of total global output volume. MENA region is the second largest producer but its share is quite smaller – about 15%.
