Barite as an industrial mineral in Nigeria: occurrence, utilization, challenges and future prospects
Barite is a non-metallic mineral which is simply barium sulfate (BaSO(4)) and is largely used by the oil and gas industry as a weighting agent in drilling mud during drilling operations. The specific gravity of barite should range from 4.1 to 4.6 to be applicable as a drilling mud additive. This stu...
