Barite 4.1 sg or Barite 4.2 sg for Deepwater and Ultra Deepwater Wells in GOM

Discussion Forum > Drilling Fluids > Barite 4.1 sg or Barite 4.2 sg for Deepwater and Ultra Deepwater Wells in GOM

What is the group's view on whether to use 4.2 sg Barite or 4.1 sg Barite for Deepwater and Ultra Deepwater wells in the GOM.

Is the consensus that 4.1 sg barite can be used for these wells
Or are technical recommendations such as increased LGS in 4.1 sg barite leading to using 4.2 sg barite and micronized barite for these specific DW & UDW wells?

Thanks in advance

Phil
