I am led to believe both Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic and Anna Kournikova (and lots more besides, I dare bet) play with graphene Head racquets to get more power from their shots. The raquets are stronger and lighter because of graphene's extraordinary properties allowing redistribution of weight:

PlatDrill Commercial Deployment

Graphene NanoChem (AIM: GRPH), the performance chemicals and advanced materials company, is pleased to announce that it has achieved a prominent milestone with the first purchase order (the "Purchase Order") for its graphene-enhanced PlatDrill Series oilfield chemicals.

Highlights
-- Order from Scomi Oiltools Sdn Bhd ("Scomi Oiltools") for use by a National Oil Company end-customer

-- Framework agreement entered into with Scomi Oiltools as announced on 26 November 2013 -- Initial deployment and field introduction of 7,800 barrels (approximately 1000 metric tonnes) into a fully-planned four well onshore drilling programme commencing in July 2014

-- Purchase Order represents beginning of commercial roll-out following two years of extensive testing by Scomi Oiltools and end-customers

-- Purchase Order, together with visibility of future orders under framework agreement, gives management significant confidence of meeting the market's expectations for 2014

-- The revenue from the initial purchase order is estimated to be GBP1.0 million and is payable on delivery

-- The Group remains fully funded to carry out its existing pipeline Background

The PlatDrill Series formulation offers an attractive, environmentally friendly, solution for high performance drilling fluids that satisfy demanding technical, as well as increasingly stringent environmental, requirements of modern day drilling.

The "smart" fluid solutions, produced from renewable sources, are designed to overcome the limitation of the traditional vegetable oil based drilling fluids in terms of performance, whilst maintaining its improved biodegradability and low toxicity functions. Enhanced by nanomaterials, using the Group's proprietary Simplat 5.1 dispersion technology, the PlatDrill Series exhibit:

-- better thermal conductivity enabling high temperature operations which are the predominant expansionary activity for oil and gas exploration today;

-- friction reducing capability which combines the improvement in lubricity with the reduction of torque and drag resulting in significant improvement in the rate of penetration of drilling activity; and

-- viscosity stability and flat rheology which enables the customization of different mud weights without affecting the rheological properties thereby minimizing solids and fluid loss.

-- Substantial potential cost-savings for end-customers The global oilfields chemicals market is estimated to be US$21 billion today and growing. .......

Another good rise after yesterday's bullish news

plenty of buying with volume almost as high as yesterday

Yesterday the market was well down and the MMS were sanguine so they marked down the price to a Fibonacci retracement 78.6% on reaching 51.50p.
At this point buyers were on the spot waiting for this point and the share price managed to finished on the up

Today there is a follow through currently 57.50 / 59p
1 MM left at 59p with 5K and buyers paying 58.70p
order book depth at 14 v 12

Graphene NanoChem has won a second commercial order of the PlatDrill Series, valued at US$4.8m.

Graphene NanoChem says the second commercial order of 23,400 barrels (approximately 3,000 tonnes) Scomi Oiltools Sdn Bhd for deployment to a national oil company represents a threefold in increase over the first commercial order of 7,800 barrels announced by the group; Graphene NanoChem says the 'smart' fluid, the PlatDrill Series offers an attractive, environmentally friendly high performance drilling fluid solution that satisfies demanding technical requirements of modern day drilling including in high temperature high pressure operating environments whilst maintaining its biodegradability and low toxicity functions.

Southeast Asia is the first launch pad for the commercial rollout of the PlatDrill Series, focusing on Scomi Oiltools' existing customer pipeline with national oil companies in the region. Scomi Oiltools has presence in more than 25 countries worldwide and is one of the leading firms in the global supply of drilling fluid services to national and multinational oil and gas companies.

Partnering with Scomi and its existing client-base allows the Group to greatly reduce marketing and adoption risk and accelerate deployment of its products within this market space. It also enables the Group's access to Scomi's existing customer base which today has an order book of RM5.4bn (£1.0bn).

Chief executive Jespal Deol said: "We are delighted to announce the increase in sales of our PlatDrill Series, as we continue making good progress in the commercial rollout of our products into the oilfield chemicals marketplace leveraging on our partnership with Scomi Oiltools."

An interesting read :- Lightbulb moment as first mass-market graphene product goes live

Both HAYD and AGM took off recently for no reason.
With GRPH, I'm in on all three but only because of watching nano-shares since their launchings, which were followed by severe downgrading.
HAYD went up 100p+ in three months which is from increasing production.
AGM gained 140p in a few days. ???
What about GRPH which is static (stagnant)?

Graphene NanoChem has filed a patent application in relation to its latest invention of a drilling and completion fluid with an additive capable of maintaining the physical properties of the drilling fluid over extreme temperatures and pressure conditions in both oil and water based drilling systems.

The group's one-stop additive has a unique multiple capability of:

· improving the rheological properties and rheology of the drilling fluid system over high temperature and pressure conditions without altering other physical properties of the system;

· providing lubricity without addition of conventional lubricants, substantially reducing torque and drag effect during drilling;

· increasing viscosity and yield point of the fluid in extreme conditions;

· controlling fluid loss to formation during drilling process.

The company says the depletion of 'easy' and conventional oil reserves has led to exploration of oil and gas in increasingly challenging environments, extending to sensitive regions, particularly offshore and shale where drilling is carried out under high temperature and high pressure conditions at considerable time and cost.

Traditionally a series of additives are utilised by industry to enable the drilling fluid to operate in the extreme situations creating additional costs for both the initial drilling phase and additionally for the waste treatment that follows with stringent environmental standards now becoming the norm for the industry worldwide.

The group's latest innovation provides the ultimate high performance cost effective drilling and completion fluid, which is also biodegradable and environmentally friendly.

The group will be seeking to extend the patent protection for its latest invention in selected jurisdictions worldwide.

No postings since July2015 - so these comments may be rather late . . .
Since Carbon is an Element and graphine is just very thin atoms of Carbon, I don't understand any claim to "BioDegradable" - it is carbon and carbon it stays.

Also, I'm surprised that a drilling-fluid is their best product, as the Electronics industry is likely to take to Graphine - although since it's only carbon, once the processing is understood, it should be a cheap material with many benefits.

Whether this Ggrphine Co [ GRPH ], will be the winner, when there are plenty of Carbon-based companies already connected to Industry is a moot point....IMHO there stands a chance that as soon as the Dirs have made their money, the shouting will subside and we'll see the true value of the Business.
Relying on one Sector ( Or worse One Customer), is bad Business practice.
Do we now their Turnover and ROCE ?

Does anyone think the fall in sp is "about right" - or does it have another 90% to fall, I wonder. The sp peaked about 130p as I recall..... now about 18p

as you can see, this stock has suffered badly, rather as has CPX, and i think they're both in the same field
it's certainly interesting and cutting-edge stuff, but what or why is it that the market has fallen out of love with?

cynic Dreamcatcher posted this article on his share tips 2015 thread ,interesting.

thanks jimmy .... i actually saw and read it earlier
given the liquidity of CPX, that would look to be the better bet, always assuming the two companies are in the same field
not sure that i'll do either, but may consider for a "lock-away" in my sipp

Graphene NanoChem has announced the group's first commercial order for Confi-Gel, its nano-engineered gelling agent or viscosifier developed using patented cavitation technology, SimPlat 5, is ready for deployment.

The purchase order valued at USD33,300 was secured for Confi-Gel following more than six months of comprehensive testing and full lab trials by Scomi Oiltools, for inclusion into its supply chain to service global market requirements.

The product will be deployed for use in Scomi's existing contract in Pakistan in Q1 2016 and gradually into further markets in Turkmenistan, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar and India.

Big debt is being restructured...DYOR by selling-off non-core . . .
This appears to be a Malaysian Co, listed in London on AIM . . . . and received much hype from the IPO which has not been maintained - partly due to their main products being aimed at Oil exploration ( As I read it -DYOR )..... Sadly this Sector is in the doldrums and there is little likelyhood it will improve with Oil price being low - maybe by 2020 but that could be too-late for Graphine Nano.
What I can't discover easily is what is being sold ( ie the qty/value) - fancy trade-names and "Patents" don't impress, since a business is about making Profits and Nano-profits might appear to be the result of operating in so many place around the World.
It would be nice to see One product being used in products which we could see - and judge whether the increased Cost was worth it.
Sadly I don't see Graphine-Manufacture as being their main production - so I conclude this is like their Website - honed puff . . .
The fall in sp says it all +++ and the debt came out of the blue, too . . . but then I rarely invest where I can't be present.

+++ does anyone here have opposing views?
EDIT (17June2016)-sp 15p, probably says it all . . . forget the Patents and what have you got? . . a new Co. flogging carbon + do they have a USP? Do they have the money to get to respectable sales and profits? Will their Patents stand scrutiny . . and can they afford to protect infringers?
Ask about the Execs - are they determined to make a success of this, or are they concentrated on making themselves rich, with Options, etc.?
FWIW: From my viewpoint, a lot needs to improve . . . .
EDIT (3Feb2017)- sp 7.4p - - - Oooer!
EDIT (20MArch2017)- 5p now . . . It really doesn't look good....
EDIT (30Aug2017)- 1.3pence . . . was 140p in 2013 . . . . but they are flogging soot.
EDIT-(23Oct2017)- Few Posters now, looking like last one = over 1-year.
