Why the Oil & Gas Industry Uses Guar Gum

Guar gum is one of the most widely used natural thickeners in the oil and gas industry. In hydraulic fracturing operations, guar-based gels suspend proppant (sand, ceramics) and carry it deep into shale and tight-rock formations. In conventional drilling, guar powder is added to drilling mud to control fluid loss, suspend cuttings, and lubricate the drill string. Because it hydrates in cold water and tolerates a wide pH range, guar is the preferred economical thickener for high-pressure, high-volume frac jobs.

Our Industrial Guar Gum Specifications

Sunrise Grain supplies oil-field-grade guar gum powder from our Sri Ganganagar facility to service companies, oil-field chemical blenders, and well-stimulation specialists worldwide.

  • Viscosity — 5500 to 6000+ cps (1% solution, 25°C). Tighter viscosity bands milled on request.
  • Mesh size — 100, 200, 300 mesh standard. Finer grades (325+) milled for applications requiring faster hydration.
  • Moisture — ≤ 10% for industrial grade.
  • Insoluble residue — tightly controlled for clean rheology in frac fluids.
  • Packaging — 25 kg paper bags with poly liner, 1 MT jumbo bags, and bulk sea-container shipment.

Fast-Hydrating & Derivatized Grades

For operators and service companies that need rapid viscosity development, we offer modified guar powder with accelerated hydration profiles. Derivatized grades — including hydroxypropyl guar (HPG) and carboxymethyl hydroxypropyl guar (CMHPG) — can be sourced on contract basis for specialty frac and acid-fracturing fluid systems.

Supply Reliability for Service Companies

Oil-field chemistry depends on timely delivery. We lock in long-term supply contracts with monthly tonnage commitments, dedicated production slots, and secure packaging that withstands long-haul sea transport to major hydrocarbon basins — Permian, Eagle Ford, Marcellus, Bakken, Vaca Muerta, Montney, Ghawar, and more.

Logistics & Documentation

Export documentation includes certificate of analysis per batch, certificate of origin, phytosanitary certificate, and mill test certificate. Container capacity: 18-20 MT per 20ft FCL, 36-40 MT per 40ft FCL. Shipments via Mundra, Kandla, or JNPT depending on destination.
