[ 1 ] - Evaluation of Barium Sulfate (Barite) Solubility Using Different Chelating Agents at a High Temperature

Barium sulfate (barite) is one of the widely used weighting materials in the preparation of drilling fluid for deep oil and gas wells. Barite is not soluble in the regular solvents; such as, hydrochloric acid (HCl) and other acids. Therefore, in this study, we focused on evaluating the dissolution of the industrial barite particles in different chelating agents. Chelating agents; such as, dieth...
