About

Barite is a mineral possessing extremely high specific gravity, this property determines barite use in in oil and gas excavation as a drilling fluid weighting agent. Up to 85% of all barite produced worldwide is used in oil and gas industry. One of the reasons for barite consumption growth is a rising trend to explore deeper and unconventional oil and gas resources. Plus, the vertical drilling technology evolution to horizontal drilling stimulates demand.

Barite world market witnesses tight supply situation due to escalating demand. It resulted in prices climbing up in recent years.

Asia Pacific region is the leading supplier of barite to the global market. The region accounts for up to 70% of barite production. China alone produces nearly half of total global output volume. MENA region is the second largest producer but its share is quite smaller – about 15%.

Driving by shale oil and gas exploration boom barite demand is expected to grow tremendously in next ten years. New projects are underway and some are planned. USA, Liberia, Mexico, Zimbabwe are developing barite mines.

The report focuses on global, regional and country markets of barite in line with oil and gas market overview with emphasize on shale resources. The report provides analysis of world unconventional oil and gas resources and prospects of exploration. The report determines world barite market supply and demand, prices and gives forecast. Asia Pacific, MENA, North America, Latin America, Europe and CIS countries markets are studied in the research.
