The most significant application of Guar gum is in the oil and gas industry, particularly in hydraulic fracturing. This process involves the use of high pressure to fracture hydrocarbon-bearing formations. Guar gum is incorporated into fracturing fluids to transport proppants into the created fractures. These proppants serve to keep the fractures open, thereby facilitating the flow of oil or gas to the wellbore.
Few of the advantages of guar gum in hydraulic fracturing are:
SHPL offers an extensive range of fast hydrating Guar gum powder under the brand name SUNTECH-FH, designed to impart specific functional properties in oil and gas industry.
SUNTECH-FH products are available in a range of viscosities and hydration rate to meet diverse end-use requirements.
SUNTECH-FH products are compatible with other additives commonly used in formulation of drilling fluids and can function as viscosifier, suspension and gelling agent.
Detailed specification sheets for SUNTECH-FH products are available upon request and customized products can be manufactured to meet specific requirements.
