Abstract In drilling industry, barite particles settling and barite sag as a major problem can potentially impose significant operational issues. Static conditions, in which well undergoes an extended shut-in period, could occur during different drilling and completion operations such fishing operation, tripping, and logging.

Barite sag tends to be more prominent in oil-based muds due to its loss of viscosity when heated. However, it does also occur in water-based muds [17]. Barite sag do typically take place in highly deviated wells, especially in wells that have angles from 50 to 80, low annular velocities and low viscosity drilling fluids.
