PETRA HEMATITE is a premium-grade Hematite Powder manufactured by PETRA INDUSTRIES . LTD. It is a high-purity iron oxide (Ferric Oxide) produced for oilfield drilling applications. Used as a weighting material, it increases drilling fluid density, improves rate of penetration, and can be used as an alternative or blend with barite in various mud systems. Manufactured to API 13A specifications, it delivers reliable performance with low solid content.

What is PETRA HEMATITE?

PETRA HEMATITE is a finely ground hematite (Fe₂O₃) used to increase the density of drilling fluids. Its high specific gravity enhances drilling efficiency while maintaining better rheological properties and improved well performance.

Key Features:

High-purity iron oxide (Ferric Oxide)
Manufactured to API 13A specifications
High specific gravity
Suitable for oilfield drilling fluids
Compatible with various mud systems
Can replace or blend with barite

Applications

Weighting Material – Increases drilling fluid density.
Oilfield Drilling – Suitable for onshore and offshore drilling.
Barite Replacement – Can be blended with or substituted for barite.
