Guar Gum

GUAR GUM is a polymer from natural sources specifically used to create a low solid, biodegradable drilling fluid for use in water wells. Guar Gum is growing quite significantly in the world of oil-drilling and mining industries. The reason being it is taken into consideration for purposes related to fracturing fluids, corrosion, inhibition, improved oil recovery, and viscosity enhancers.

Benefits of using Fast Hydrating Guar Gum

  • High viscosities
  • Hydrates quickly in cold water
  • Delivers proppant more effectively
  • Stable at high pressures, heat and pH levels
  • Friction reducing properties
  • Environmentally friendly
  • Bio-degradable
  • 8 times more thickening power than starch
  • Safe to handle

Guar Gum in Oil Field Applications

When it comes to additives, play a big role in the drilling fluids' performance while executing the borewell drilling process such as oil well fracturing, oil well stimulation, mud drilling and industrial applications and preparations as a stabilizer, thickener and suspending agent. It is a natural, fast hydrating,dispersible and is diesel slurriable. In the oil field industry, guar gum is used as natural polymer and ideally suited for all rheological requirements of water-based and brine-based drilling fluids. Guar Gum plays a big role as a viscosity enhancer and assists in balancing the drilling need viscosity levels. It is also used as viscosifiers to maintain drilling mud viscosities that enable drilling fluids to remove drill waste from deep holes. Guar gum products also reduce friction in the holes, and so minimising power requirements.

Advantages:

  • It provides Viscosity to both fresh water and saline water mud
  • It helps to reduce fluid loss.
  • It Provides lubrication to drill bit.
  • It is widely available and is an economical source of viscosifier.
