There is a very high demand for the American Petroleum Institute (API) grade baryte in Nigeria due to the continuous massive drilling in oil and gas fields. Considering the presumption that local baryte is of low quality, processed baryte is imported, leading to great national revenue losses. Some baryte deposits in the Northern Cross River, Nigeria were sampled and studied in field and laboratories, based on API standard requirements (2004 and 2010), to ascertain their suitability for use as weighting additive in drilling fluids. Furthermore, flame testing of the samples yielded yellowish-green flame indicating barium presence; X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-Ray fluorescence (XRF) analyses confirmed the mineralogy and chemical composition of the samples, respectively. The results revealed the Specific Gravity, SG range of 4.37 to 4.52; concentration of alkali earth metals as calcium 8.40mg/kg to 62.10mg/Kg; the residue >75micron and particle sizes
