Electroless Nickel NanoDiamond is a nanocomposite coating in which nanoscale diamond particles are codeposited within a nickel–phosphorus (NiP) matrix using an autocatalytic (electroless) process. Unlike lineofsight methods, the electroless route produces uniform, conformal coverage on complex geometries—including internal diameters, threads, plunging faces, impeller blades, and valve trims—often without postgrinding.

Unlike line‑of‑sight methods, the electroless route produces uniform, conformal coverage on complex geometries—including internal diameters, threads, plunging faces, impeller blades, and valve trims—often without post‑grinding.

Outcome: longer service intervals, fewer unplanned pulls and workovers, stabilized efficiency, and material TCO reduction—with a scaling model that brings the technology closer to every basin via licensed or JV partners.

Performance attributes that matter downhole and at surface:

• Hardness & wear resistance: diamond particles resist ploughing and micro‑cutting from sand and solids.
• Low friction & anti‑galling: mitigates adhesive wear in metal‑to‑metal contact (e.g., plungers, rod couplings).
• Corrosion resistance: optimized Ni‑P matrix performance against CO₂/H₂S‑laden brines and mixed phases.
• Uniform thickness: targeted ~7–50 μm (application‑dependent) with tight control of functional clearances.
• Chrome‑free: modern, environmentally aligned hard chrome replacement coating pathway.

Oil Production Applications

• Heavy oil & sand cut wells: Electroless Nickel Nano Diamond resists abrasive micro cutting that accelerates wear on plungers, PCP rotors, and pump internals.
• Water cut & high salinity brines: corrosion resistant Ni P matrix helps mitigate pitting, keeping rod couplings, tubing IDs, and valve trims in operating window.
• Thermal & chemical variability: low friction and controlled thickness help maintain critical clearances and reduce heat buildup during load cycles.

Priority oil applications: insert pump plungers/barrels, PCP rotors, sucker rods/couplings, ESP impellers/diffusers, tubing ID sections, valve trims, pump shafts.

Gas Production Applications

• Sour gas (CO₂/H₂S) exposure: the composite's low porosity and chemistry help reduce pitting and related degradation.
• High velocity dry gas: mitigates erosion at valve seats, choke trims, compressor impellers, and turning sections.
• Thermal swings: uniform deposition supports dimensional stability for tight tolerance components.

Priority gas applications: valve seats/trims, chokes, compressor impellers/shafts, pipeline pump internals, tubing ID at erosion prone sections.

As operators seek hard chrome replacement coatings, Electroless Nickel Nano Diamond offers a modern, chrome free route with:

• Comparable or superior wear resistance with added anti galling benefit.
• Uniform, conformal coverage on complex shapes—OD/ID, threads, blades, and cavities.
• Repeatable process control, enabling multi line rollouts across regions via certified partners.
