The Challenge
What made this project difficult
Output had to meet API 13A specification consistently to displace imported drilling-grade barite for the client's rig programme.
The Solution
How we delivered it
A closed-circuit milling line with in-line specific gravity monitoring was installed alongside an on-site laboratory certifying every batch before despatch.
Technology Used
- Closed-circuit ball milling
- In-line SG monitoring
- Automated bagging line
- On-site assay laboratory
Impact
- API 13A compliance on 100% of batches
- Import substitution for 3 rig programmes
- Regional supply lead time halved
