Graphene NanoChem plc has received a commercial order for its Water-based Drilling Additive, PlatQuartZ, for deployment in Turkmenistan. The commercial order for PlatQuartZ, valued at USD 384,000, will be deployed under Scomi Oiltools' existing 3-year onshore drilling contract in Turkmenistan with the End Customer for between 8 - 10 wells, expected to be completed by end of this year. This forms part of the commercial rollout strategy in building a track record for the Group's products in the field via change order process through the substitution of products under Scomi Oiltools' existing oilfield service projects and contracts.

The successful field deployment of PlatQuartZ in the well trial has also secured the automatic qualification of this product for submission into a new 3-year tender in Turkmenistan to be issued by the End Customer in fourth quarter of 2015.
