As part of our ongoing commitment to provide premium industrial minerals for energy and infrastructure industries, **Shafwah Asia** introduces its **high-grade Barite (BA-LS-01)** — a reliable, high-density mineral designed for demanding **oil and gas drilling operations**.

Sourced from selected Southeast Asian mineral zones and processed under strict quality control, this Barite product meets the **API Specification 13A standards**, ensuring optimal performance as a weighting agent in drilling fluids.

##### Product Description

| Specification | Value |
| --- | --- |
| **Product Code** | BA-LS-01 |
| **Specific Gravity** | Minimum 4.2 |
| **BaSO₄ (Barium Sulfate)** | Minimum 90 % |
| **Appearance** | Fine powder or granulated (customized per client) |
| **Usage** | Drilling fluid for oil & gas applications |
| **Production Capacity** | 1,000 MT per month |
| **Status** | Contract Available |
