Xanthan gum is a natural additive with diverse applications in industry, including the Oil & Gas sector. In this segment, it is primarily used for: Drilling Fluids: Xanthan gum is used as a thickener in drilling fluids, helping to stabilize the fluid and transport drilling cuttings (cuttings) out of the well. This is crucial for maintaining drilling efficiency and avoiding problems such as well collapse. Hydraulic Fracturing: In the hydraulic fracturing process, xanthan gum can be added to fracturing fluids to increase viscosity, which helps suspend and transport proppant material (such as sand) into fractures created in the rock. Corrosion and Scaling Control: Xanthan gum can be incorporated into formulations that help control corrosion and scaling in oil and gas production equipment.
