Oil Industry
Guar gum splits have a special function in oil well drilling tasks as it helps mitigate water loss by reducing friction and improving mobility. It is used in oil well fracturing, stimulation, and mud drilling. Some oil organizations also use guar gum splits as a stabilizer and suspending agent. Moreover, its inherent thickening property also has several uses in the oil industry.
