(aumentar su) densidad para matar el pozo(ver nota)

weighted up to kill weight all at once: aumentar la densidad del lodo rapidamente

The drilling mud needs to have the proper density to prevent blow outs due to high pressure zones in the formation; what I understand from your note is that this mud they are talking about has some advantages in cases where the rig does not allow sudden increases in density of the mud.
