High specific gravity barite for oil drilling mud, paint production, and medical applications. API 13A compliant grades available.
Nigeria's barite deposits are concentrated in the Benue Trough, particularly in Cross River, Taraba, and Nasarawa states. Our barite is a high-specific-gravity mineral (BaSO₄) essential for oil and gas drilling operations as a weighting agent in drilling fluids.
With Nigeria's growing oil and gas sector and proximity to major West African drilling operations, our barite offers logistical advantages for regional markets. We supply both API-grade drilling barite and industrial-grade barite for paint, rubber, and chemical applications.
Certified quality parameters verified by independent laboratories.

Common questions about barite sourcing and export.
Yes, our drilling-grade barite meets API 13A/ISO 13500 specifications: SG ≥4.20, residue on 75µm sieve ≤3.0%, soluble alkaline earth metals ≤250 mg/kg.
Our barite contains 85-95% BaSO₄ depending on grade. Drilling grade: ≥92% BaSO₄. Industrial grade: ≥85% BaSO₄.
We supply lump barite (2-10cm), crushed barite, and ground barite (200-325 mesh). API-grade ground barite is our primary export product.
Our mining and processing operations can supply 5,000-10,000 MT per month of API-grade barite. We maintain strategic stockpiles for uninterrupted supply.
