Oil Drilling Grade Xanthan Gum with ISO 9001:2015 for Oilfield Auxiliary Use

Product Specifications

Oil Drilling Grade Xanthan Gum (EINECS 234-394-2) for Stable Mud Formulation

We’ve witnessed countless oilfield operations disrupted by inconsistent drilling fluid additives—unstable viscosity leading to wellbore collapse, batch-to-batch variations causing operational delays, and suppliers failing to meet urgent delivery timelines. In our 10+ years serving oilfield service companies across 50+ countries, these issues consistently top the list of procurement headaches.

Stable Viscosity Control: The Core of Oil Drilling Efficiency

Our Oil Drilling Grade Xanthan Gum addresses these critical challenges through precise formulation and rigorous quality control. As a key oilfield auxiliary xanthan gum, it delivers consistent rheological performance even under extreme downhole conditions, ensuring stable mud viscosity and fluid loss control throughout the drilling process. With direct factory partnerships and annual production capacity of 3000 tons, we eliminate supply chain bottlenecks that cause project delays.

Key Applications in Oilfield Operations

Xanthan Gum for oilfield use serves as a multifunctional additive in drilling fluid systems, primarily enhancing suspension capacity, reducing friction loss, and maintaining wellbore stability. It is widely utilized in horizontal drilling, high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) wells, and water-based mud systems where viscosity stability under shear stress is paramount. This product is strictly intended for industrial oil drilling applications only.

Critical Specifications for Drilling Performance

The Brookfield LV viscosity of 1950 ensures optimal fluid thickness for carrying cuttings to the surface, while the shearing ration of 6.5 guarantees viscosity recovery after high shear—critical for maintaining circulation in extended-reach wells. The 1% solution pH range of 6-8 minimizes corrosion risks in downhole equipment, and controlled moisture content (<=13%) prevents clumping during mixing. These parameters are not arbitrary; each directly impacts drilling efficiency and operational safety.

Risk Reduction Through ISO 9001:2015 Certified Production

Choosing substandard xanthan gum risks wellbore instability, increased non-productive time, and potential equipment damage—costs far exceeding initial material savings. Our ISO 9001:2015 oil drilling additive undergoes 12-point quality checks from raw material selection to final packaging, ensuring batch consistency that reduces operational risks. As a direct factory-supply platform, we offer transparent pricing without middleman markups, delivering long-term cost efficiency without compromising quality.

Quality Assurance You Can Verify

Certificate of Analysis & Documentation

Each shipment includes a batch-specific COA and MSDS, with detailed testing data for viscosity, pH, moisture content, and shear resistance. For critical projects, we can arrange third-party testing through SGS or Intertek at customer request. Historical batch records are maintained for 5 years and available for audit with proper authorization.

Storage & Handling

• Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, sealed and away from direct sunlight.
• Keep away from incompatible materials, food and feed sources.
• Handle with appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, goggles, lab coat).
• Follow good industrial hygiene practices. Avoid inhalation and skin contact.
• Refer to MSDS for detailed storage and safety instructions.

Streamlined Procurement Process

To ensure the product meets your specific drilling requirements, we recommend starting with a 25kg sample order for in-house testing. Our technical team can provide application guidelines for optimal mud formulation. Once specifications are confirmed, standard lead times are 7-10 days from order placement, with flexible delivery options via Tianjin Port or designated Chinese ports.
