How we work
We manage supply from the ground to the point of delivery, so quality is checked at every stage rather than only at the end.
- 01
Source
We work directly with licensed mine site owners and mining communities, collecting ore from mine sites and gathering points.
- 02
Evaluate
Ore is sampled, graded and assessed before we commit to supply, supported by geological assessment and independent analysis.
- 03
Process
Barite is milled to API Specification 13A through qualified processing partners and tested batch by batch.
- 04
Deliver
We handle packaging, haulage and export shipment, with a certificate of analysis for every consignment.
Our products
Barite is the standard weighting agent in drilling fluids, used to control well pressure during drilling. We supply it in two forms.
API 13A barite powder
Milled barite for water-based and oil-based drilling fluid systems.
- Milled and tested to API Specification 13A
- Density and particle size reported per batch
- Certificate of analysis with each shipment
Crude barite ore
Run-of-mine and sorted barite ore for grinding and further processing.
- Sorted and graded close to source
- Supplied to customer grade requirements
- Independent analysis available on request
Quality you can verify
Every batch is tested by an independent laboratory before release. Results are reported as measured, so customers can check the product against specification before it reaches the rig.
- Batch identification from sampling to shipment
- Independent third-party laboratory testing
- Certificate of analysis with every consignment
Where we operate
We work across Nigeria's barite producing regions, including Plateau, Nasarawa, Benue, Taraba and Cross River States, with offices in Lagos and Port Harcourt. From Onne Port we supply customers in West Africa, South America and the Middle East.
We keep records that trace material back to its source area, and our field activity follows Carogas policies on health, safety, environment, responsible minerals sourcing and community engagement.
