About Activ Energy Chemicals
Activ Energy Chemicals uses nanoActiv® technology developed by Nissan Chemical America Corporation.
While the primary use cases for nanoActiv® solutions are currently in oil and gas production and carbon sequestration, nanoparticle technology could offer major benefits to many more industries as a leading green technology solution.

We use Silica Dioxide nanoparticles, which is the same as sand. Our particles are basically miniature sand particles.
No, the particles are all negatively charged; therefore, they do not agglomerate. If you use dual charged particles, they stick together.
Yes, the particles we use are non hazardous.
12 to 15 nanometers in diameter, about 5x smaller than a virus and able to access the smallest spaces.
The particles will resist up to 325°F temperatures and high brine environments.
Typically, a 20% increase.
On existing oil and natural gas wells – years.
Chemical performance improvement, carbon sequestration, pipeline cleaning, asset performance, etc. We have just begun to scratch the surface.
Yes, directly in carbon sequestration applications, indirectly – if oil and gas assets are performing better, then fewer wells need to be drilled. If chemicals are performing better, then fewer hazardous chemicals need to be used and transported. When assets perform better- less carbon is emitted.
With regards to oil and gas wells, new wells and existing wells. For existing wells, those performing at a “B” or “C” level (if we are using academic grading for reference).
A little goes a long way- the nanoparticles can cover an enormous amount of surface area. Also, the number of applications continues to grow as we see benefits in new applications and developments.
