A wellbore fluid may include a base fluid, and a ground weight material comprising barite and quartz and having a dbetween about 4 and 8 microns and a dbetween about 15-25 microns. The ground weight material of the wellbore fluid may have a specific gravity of less than or equal to about 4.2.

Wellbore fluids for use downhole

A method for transferring barite for use in wellbore fluids may include providing a ground weight material comprising barite and quartz having a dbetween about 4 and 8 and a dbetween about 15-25 microns to a pneumatic transfer vessel, supplying an air flow to the ground weight material in the pneumatic transfer vessel, and pneumatically transferring the ground weight material from the pneumatic transfer vessel to a storage vessel.

Methods of pneumatically conveying solid particulates

A method of drilling a subterranean well may include drilling the subterranean well while circulating a wellbore fluid in the subterranean well, wherein the wellbore fluid includes a base fluid; and a ground weight material comprising barite and quartz and having a dbetween about 4 and 8 microns and a dbetween about 15-25 microns.
