Drilling Barite

Natural barium sulphate weighting agent from Algeria's barite mines.

Drilling-grade barite (natural barium sulphate) from the Aïn Mimoun, Boucaïd and Mellal mines — Algeria's flagship industrial mineral, covering around half of national oilfield demand. Ground and beneficiated lots are prepared against the API Spec 13A, Table 2 reference requirements, with density grade (4.20 or 4.1) agreed per contract.
