TRL-9

Market and Economic Attractiveness

  • The market and economic attractiveness of the development lies in the intensification of energy production by downhole technologies;
  • Possibility of increasing the completeness of mining when using dilatancy technologies;
  • The use of dilatant well technology significantly reduces the negative impact on the environment compared to the stimulation method with fracturing;
  • Тhe possibility of using dilatancy technology if it is necessary to locally increase the productivity of an individual well without affecting other wells;
  • The use of dilatancy technology will lead to an increase in market and economic attractiveness in the extraction of minerals by downhole technologies.

Main Advantages (Strengths) of the Device

  • Unlike hydraulic fracturing technology with significant environmental disturbances, the local impact of dilatancy technology has almost no effect on the environment.
  • Insignificant financial costs compared to the fracturing technology allow using the proposed technology locally for each well.
