    Drilling Performance: Built for Efficiency and Well Integrity


    Your drilling operations demand stability, weight control, and contamination-free mud formulations. Our barite directly contributes to operational performance:

    • Higher SG = Lower Mud Dilution: With a minimum specific gravity of 4.25, our barite reduces dilution rates by up to 22%, saving time, additive use, and disposal costs.
    • Reduced Clay Disintegration: Low soluble alkalis (below 250 ppm) minimize unwanted chemical interactions with clay-based formations, reducing wellbore instability and mud loss.
    • High Suspension Stability: Proper grind size ensures suspension in high-viscosity mud systems, preventing barite sag and ensuring even weight distribution.

    Processing Excellence


     To meet the expectations of top-tier oilfield service companies and drilling contractors, our production process is engineered for consistency:

    • Dry Milling – Maintains natural specific gravity without introducing moisture or dilution.
    • De-Dusting Systems – Controls fine particles and airborne dust to meet workplace and transport safety standards.
    • Silo Storage & Batch Sampling – Every shipment is homogenized and tested in batch, ensuring assay consistency from the first to last MT.

    All material is double-checked before loading—particle size, SG, and alkali levels are measured according to API protocols.

    Addressing Global Buyer Pain Points


    We understand the concerns buyers often have when sourcing barite internationally: inconsistent SG, high impurity levels, poor documentation, or delayed shipments. Shah Mercantile Co. eliminates those risks through:

    1. End-to-End Quality Assurance

    Pre-shipment testing and certification through OCMA/API 13A-compliant labs ensure each lot is ready for immediate use in oilfield operations. No need to retest at destination unless required by local authorities.

    2. Secure Supply Chain Infrastructure

    Our logistics process ensures:

    • Barite is transported in sealed, lined trucks to prevent contamination.
    • Each shipment is packaged in double-laminated bulk bags or lined containers to minimize product loss and moisture intrusion.
    • Real-time coordination with port authorities to prevent demurrage and ensure dispatch within the committed schedule.

    3. Documentation & Compliance Support

    We offer complete transparency with every shipment:

    • MSDS
    • Third-party assay reports
    • Certificate of Origin
    • Customized packing lists and labeling as per buyer requirements
      (Can be negotiated)

    Commercial Flexibility & Terms


    We believe in flexible and open partnerships, built on transparency and long-term collaboration:

    • Incoterms: FOB Karachi / CIF Houston / CFR Port Klang (can be negotiated)
    • MOQ: 1,000 MT (can be negotiated for trial orders)
    • Insurance: All-risk cargo coverage with SGS performance guarantees (can be negotiated)
    • Certifications: OCMA/API 13A Certified (can be negotiated)

    Bulk shipments can be organized via containers or break-bulk, depending on buyer preference. We also support contract-based monthly delivery schedules for long-term clients.
