Nourisi ®Xanthan Gum Oil-Drilling Grade is a polysaccharide. Xanthomonas produce it through monosaccharide fermentation. As a water-soluble viscosifier, it is widely used in drilling mud to enhance viscosity, suspend drill cuttings, and maintain hole stability by preventing particle settling. Its gel-forming properties also enable effective transport of cuttings and gravel.

Nourisi ®Xanthan gum is widely used in the petroleum industry due to its superior performance in viscosity, thickening, salt resistance, and contamination resistance. It is particularly effective in offshore, beach, high-salinity, and permafrost drilling, as well as in sludge treatment, completion fluids, and tertiary oil recovery. Its key benefits include accelerating drilling speed, preventing well collapse, protecting oil reservoirs, and significantly enhancing oil recovery rates.
As a critical component of drilling fluid, xanthan gum enhances viscosity, shear force, and suspension capacity, ensuring efficient hole cleaning and wellbore stability.
With excellent viscosity, rheological properties, and chemical stability, xanthan gum serves as an effective displacing agent in enhanced oil recovery (EOR). Among mobility control agents, it is considered one of the most promising for improving oil recovery rates.
Our 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.
Nourisi ® Xanthan Gum Oil-drilling Grade exhibits extraordinary and useful properties:
High viscosity: Creates a solution with high viscosity even at low concentrations.
Salt and temperature resistant: Functions effectively in special environments such as oceans and high-salt formations, with thermal stability often exceeding 94℃.
pH stability: Remains functional across a wide pH range.
Solid suspension: Excellent at suspending drill cuttings and weighting materials.
Environmental profile: Considered an environmentally friendly and biodegradable product.
Quick dissolution: Dissolves quickly in water, including cold water, simplifying the preparation process.
Nourisi ®Xanthan Gum Oil-drilling Grade conforms to API 13A. However, we recommend that the user ensure that this product is in compliance with the local regulations in force, particularly in the country where the product is to be consumed.
25kg kraft bag lined with a polyethylene bag or valve bags, meanwhile, other packaging are available on request. Store away from heat and moisture.
