Characterization and Testing of Saudi Barite for Potential Use in Drilling Operations
There are huge drilling operations in most areas of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia nowadays searching for potential hydrocarbon reservoirs. While drilling for oil and gas, formations of high pore fluid pressure may be encountered (up to 20 ppg equivalent). Normal drilling fluid can control formation pr...
