    The document discusses increasing mud density from 10.0 ppg to 13.0 ppg for a total of 500 bbl of mud in the system. Based on the current specifications, 1492.1 sacks of barite would be required to reach the target mud weight of 13.0 ppg. However, the document recommends using calcium carbonate instead of barite to increase the mud density in a more cost effective manner.
