Oil & Gas Well Drilling Fracturing Application

Guar gum and its derivatives have found a broad range of application in petroleum industry as additives for aqueous and water / methanol based fracturing fluids. They serve as water loss control, viscosity control ,suspensions, friction reduction or mobility control. Hydraulic fracturing requires that a large volume of fluid be pumped very rapidly in to the well to separate the rock layers mechanically, hence friction reduction by addition of water soluble polymers is practiced routinely, the same polymers usually aid in suspending the proppant agent such as sand Guar gum based product in aqueous fluids is used in drilling shallow wells. These applications utilize the gum’s properties to increase viscosity, reduce fluid loss and decrease fluid friction.
