192.5ppg

That's 11× as heavy as a heavy weighted mud — nothing on our list beats it. At 1,000 m depth that column would exert about 2,262 bar.

What it means

How heavy is that mud?

Gradients are for a vertical well. In a deviated hole the pressure depends on true vertical depth, not on how much pipe is in the ground.
