Oil & Gas
Oil & Gas manufacturing depends on a specific mix of raw materials to hit its production, cost, and quality targets. PlaxRaw supplies these materials with consistent specifications and reliable batch-to-batch supply.
Applications
Barite weights the mud to control downhole pressure while bentonite builds viscosity to suspend cuttings and seal the wellbore wall.
Barite is added to cement slurries to raise density and control pressure across weak or overpressured zones during casing cementation.
High-purity silica sand is pumped into fractures to prop them open, creating permeable channels that let oil and gas flow to the wellbore.
Bentonite and barite are used in engineered completion fluids to control fluid loss and maintain wellbore stability before production starts.
Higher-density barite grades are critical offshore to manage the narrow pressure margins and high overburden encountered in deepwater wells.
Bars show a quick approximate share in a general formulation for this industry — actual ratios vary by product and production line.
