May 31, 2018· Nearly all the barium in drilling mud is from barite (BaSO4) added to the mud to increase its density. Barite in drilling muds and sediments has a low solubility in seawater, because of the high natural concentration of sulfate in the ocean. Because it is insoluble in seawater, barite has a low bioavailability and toxicity to marine organisms.
