Xanthan Gum (oil drilling grade)
Xanthan Gum in Oil Drilling Fluids.
Xanthan gum oil drilling grade is a polysaccharide. Xanthomonas produce it through monosaccharide fermentation. Xanthan gum oil drilling grade is a hydrocolloid polymer. So it can be dissolved in water. Because water is the basic carrier fluid in drilling mud, hydrophilicity is the basic characteristic of xanthan gum (oil drilling grade).
As a viscosifier, Xanthan gum (oil drilling grade) is widely used in drilling mud. It can increase the viscosity of the mud. In addition, Xanthan gum (oil drilling grade) is a good carrier for drill cuttings. When mixed into water, Xanthan gum (oil drilling grade) swells. As a result, the mixture exhibits a gel-like consistency. This viscous mixture can trap cuttings in suspension. Therefore, these cuttings will not fall on the drill pipe due to gravity.
In oil drilling, Xanthan fluid products can control the rheology of drilling fluids. Its main role is to enhance the strength of the gel, thereby improving the suspension. This helps to transport ordinary drill cuttings and heavier gravel and pebbles. This keeps the hole open and transports the cuttings outward.
Xanthan gum (oil drilling grade) has many other industrial uses. Including but not limited to glues, inks and etc..

Uses:
Xanthan gum (oil drilling grade) is specially produced as a mud additive for oil drilling and exploitation. Being an environment-friendly and high-efficiency mud additive, Xanthan gum (oil drilling grade) has excellent tolerance to changes in temperature, acid, alkaline, and salt.
Meanwhile, it can extremely increase the products penetrating ability and suspending performance to small solid materials. And also reduce the pressure loss during drilling. This Xanthan gum (oil drilling grade) can not only fasten the wellbore but also decrease the damage to oil formation. This viscosifier can also greatly raise the efficiency of drilling, workover, and completion.
As a biotype oil driver, Xanthan fluid product can improve the oil extraction rate and utilization factor of natural resources. However, the more important point is that it can furthest protect the natural environment.
Applications:
Xanthan gum (oil drilling grade) has a huge demand in the oil drilling industry. This is because Xanthan gum (oil drilling grade) has advantages in viscosity, thickening, salt resistance, and environmental performance compared with other polymers, especially in the drilling operations of high halide and permafrost layers.
Xanthan gum (oil drilling grade) significantly affects sludge treatment, completion fluids, and tertiary oil recovery. This is important in accelerating the drilling speed and preventing well collapse.
Xanthan gum (oil drilling grade) is one of the main components of drilling fluid. During the drilling process, drilling fluid plays an important role. Xanthan gum can increase the viscosity and shear of drilling fluids. Thereby improving the suspension capacity of drilling fluid. This is very important for the drilling industry and the oil exploitation industry.
Packing and Storage:
Multiply paper bags, carton boxes, or cardboard drums with plastic lining (25kg net).
Avoid high-intensity extreme pressure and prolonged exposure to strong sunlight. Keep the container closed. Keep away from heat, sparks, and flames.
