Product overview

• Xanthan gum
  Xantham gum is the most commonly used hydrocolloid in the oilfield industry because it maintains high viscosity levels under low shear conditions, providing efficient solids transport and suspension characteristics. It can be used with a wide range of drilling fluid additives in a variety of fluid formulations.

• Starches
  Starches are an environment-friendly drilling mud additive for water-based fluids. Specific native, modified or pregelatinized starch is selected depending on application, geological conditions and properties desired.

• Agri-Pure® Gold™ vegetable oils
  Agri-Pure® Gold™ technical grade vegetable oils are excellent low cost alternatives to current vegetable oils in a variety of oil field applications. They have proven successful in a variety of applications as a chemical ingredient in ester and imidazoline production. They also are easily emulsifiable and provide highly stable emulsions compared to petroleum based systems.

• Oxi-Cure® oils
  Select the Oxi-Cure® 500 series. These are 100% natural polyglycerols that provide a variety of functional benefits in drilling mud formulations, particularly shale inhibition. They are available in various degrees of polymerization to allow the formulator to zero in on the exact performance requirement.

• Glycerin
  Glycerin can be used "as is" in oilfield applications as a component in completion fluids and fracture fluids. Glycerin can also be reacted to make polyglycerols for drilling muds formulated for shale stabilization.

• Salt
  When it comes to drilling, Cargill’s Driller’s Choice® evaporated and fine rock salts are always ready for action.
