Drilling Grade Barium Sulfate Powder Applications
Drilling grade barium sulfate powder is commonly used as a weighting agent in drilling fluids within the oil and gas industry. Its high specific gravity helps control wellbore pressures and prevent blowouts during drilling operations. This fine powder improves fluid density, lubrication, and rheological properties, making it a crucial component for efficient drilling processes.
