D1 Nano has witnessed significant benefits when Pristine Graphene (PG) is added to cement.
- Increased Cement Strength
- Fights Gas Migration
- Lowers Curing Times
- Lowers Cement Volumes - add aggregate to increase yield
- "Impermeable Cement"
- Reduced Viscosity By Enhanced Dispersion
- Reduced Carbon Footprint
Cement + Pristine Graphene
Testing Results
Cement Slurry Details:
- Slurry was prepared according to API-SPEC10
- Oilwell Class G 0:1:0 without any additives – other than PG
- Density was 1900 kg/m³(15.8 ppg)
Observations:
Thoughts:
- Early strength development is significant
- Improved slurry dispersion for reduced viscosity
- Significant improvement in compressive strength
- Does not “shatter” into small fragments during “crushing the cube” test – rather stays together due to the PG structural bonding properties
- Can we add aggregate to use less cement for greener cement
- Reduced pump pressures for less kW/HP required – reduced carbon footprint
- Earlier drill outs and rig moves
- Improved wellbore cleanout
- Great candidate for whipstock applications
- No shattering, reduced permeability in the structure, therefore reduced gas migration concerns.
- Reduced GHG emissions
- Use this technology inside the ESG statement
