1. A composition comprising:
a particulate;
water; and
a suspension aid comprising graphene, wherein the graphene comprises bioderived renewable graphene (BRG),
wherein the particulate is suspended in the composition,
wherein the composition comprises greater than or equal to 5 percent BRG by weight of water (% BRG bwow), and
wherein the suspended particulates remain suspended in the composition during free fluid testing, as measured according to API 10B-2, for at least 60 minutes.
