Chimique FHG is a highly effective gelling agent extensively utilized in the hydraulic fracturing process within the oil drilling industry. This product plays a vital role in stimulating oil and gas wells by fracturing the rock or shale formations under pressurized liquid. Specifically designed to suspend proppants or sand in water, Chimique FHG facilitates the creation of cracks in deep-rock formations, enabling the smoother flow of natural gas, petroleum, and brine. After hydraulic pressure is released, the fractures remain open due to small grains of hydraulic fracturing proppants. Chimique FHG guar excels in forming low viscosity slurry and is also suitable for Dry On The Fly applications exhibiting excellent cross-linking properties with various cross-linkers, resulting in high viscosity at low concentrations.
CHIMIQUE FHG products are offered in four grades, distinguished primarily by their gel strength:
CHIMIQUE™ Ultra Premium Guar (4550)
CHIMIQUE FHG 4550 is a highly effective gelling agent with very high viscosity characteristics. Typically, it achieves a viscosity of 45 cps within three minutes of solution preparation, using a 40 ppt gel in 2% KCL stack solution. The solution maintains stability for at least 60 minutes, ensuring a guaranteed viscosity of 50 cps as measured on the Fann 35S viscometer.
CHIMIQUE™ Premium Guar (4045)
CHIMIQUE FHG Guar 4045 is a specialty high-viscosity guar gelling agent designed to achieve a viscosity of 40 cps on the Fann 35SA viscometer, using a 40 ppt solution loading in a 2% KCL stack solution. The product maintains a viscosity of 45 cps after 60 minutes. CHIMIQUE FHG4045 is tailored for “DRY ON THE FLY” applications, featuring enhanced gel strength to efficiently transport high volumes of sand at low concentrations.
CHIMIQUE™ Standard Guar (3842)
CHIMIQUE FHG 3842 is a high-viscosity guar gelling agent known for its exceptional performance. It typically achieves a viscosity of 38 cps within three minutes of preparation, using a 40 ppt gel in a 2% KCL stack solution. The solution remains stable for at least 60 minutes, ensuring a consistent viscosity of 42 cps as measured on the Fann 35SA viscometer.
