Dr. Singh not only knows what it takes to develop guar operations from farm field to down-hole applications, but he really understands the need for a consistent high quality product that responds to the evolving needs of the oil and gas sector. We are confident that with his guidance we can develop a business model that not only streamlines the farm-to-oilfield process, but also ensures the end user receives the very best product available."
