It is a high viscosity polymer for use in both salt water and fresh water muds. It is derived from the seed of the guar plant. It is a polysaccharide polymer.
Application
It is used for fluid loss control in all water based mud systems specially, in salt water mud. It provides viscosity. It can be use in most water types. It is useful for offshore drilling as it can be added directly to the sea water.
Advantages
It controls fluid loss.
It provides viscosity of drilling fluids.
It adjusts rheological properties.
It is widely available and is an economical source polymer viscosifier.
