Volume of Barite Required to weight up mud system
How much bulk barite is required to be onboard to weight up the active system. For well control purposes there should always be enough barite to weigh up the active system by 1ppg
The formula used is: $$ X = \frac{(\text{Kill Mud Density} - \text{Mud Density}) \times 1472.1}{(\text{Barite SG} \times 8.333) - \text{Kill Mud Density}} $$
