M-I Wate (also known as Barium Sulfate) is a high-quality, drilling-grade barite used to increase fluid density in a wide variety of drilling fluids. Due to its unique high specific gravity and API specifications, M-I Wate is the most widely used weight material for fluid systems. M-I Wate is chemically inert and insoluble, therefore this product does not interfere with other additives in a fluid system.

The amount of M-I Wate material required to increase the density can be calculated with the following formulas:

M-I Wate, lb/bbl = (1,435(w2-w1))/34-w2)

Where:

W1 = Initial Mud Weight in lb/gal

W2 = Desired Mud Weight in lb/gal
