Here are some of the primary application areas and uses of barite: 1. Oil and Gas Industry: Drilling Fluids: Barite is commonly used as a weighting agent in drilling fluids used in oil and gas exploration. By adding barite to drilling mud, it increases its density, helping to control wellbore pressure and prevent blowouts.

Barite or weight material sag is a problem of drilling mud and it occurs when weighting material (barite, calcium carbonate, etc) separate from liquid phase and settle down. The method is based in part on continuously measuring fluid density during the first circulation after the fluid has been static after some time.
