The specific gravity of barite should range from 4.1 to 4.6 to be applicable as a drilling mud additive. This study considered the occurrence, utilization and challenges facing the mining of barite in Nigeria. It also discussed the global reserve, production and consumption of barite and types of barite ores and associated minerals in Nigeria.
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.
Barite occurrences in the Calabar Flank, Oban massif, Mamfe Embayment and Obudu Plateau of Southeastern Nigeria have been sampled and analyzed for the purpose of assessing their chemical composition andindustrial quality. Barite occurrences were observed mostly along faults and unconformities marking the boundaries between the …

Barite deposits can be found in nine states in Nigeria, viz, Adamawa, Gombe, Zamfara. Although barite is one of the seven strategic minerals identified in the country, there is no published work that gives the complete data and information on the …
Successful drilling operations are dependent on the properties of the drilling fluid used to drill wells. Barite is used as a weighting agent during the preparation of drilling fluid. Over the years, oil and gas industry in Nigeria has been depending mainly on imported barite for drilling operations, whereas the country has huge deposits of barite. …

One hundred and thirty barite occurrences are recorded in New South Wales (Holmes et al. 1982; Ray et al. 2003). These are mainly associated with volcanic-hosted massive sulphide mineralisation, an association strongly evident in Late Silurian felsic volcanic rocks in the eastern Lachlan Orogen. Demand for barite is primarily driven by its use in

Research history of the barite occurrences in South-eastern Bosnia Initial data concerning the barite occurrences in South-eastern Bosnia were described by JOJIĆ (1947), RA MOVIĆ, M. (1954) and JEREMIĆ (1958). In the barite belt of Reno vica--Prača-Omrke, which has a general NNE-SSW trend, RAMOVIĆ, M. (1956, 1957) discovered three ...
