Researchers from the Department of Geophysics and GIS, commissioned by local oil powerhouse Tatneft, developed a high-precision geomagnetic model of the eastern part of the Republic of Tatarstan. It has been tested and is already being used for oil drilling. The magnetic field is generated by the Earth's core and magnetized rocks in the crust. There...
A new paper saw light in Fuel. Scientists have found that adding nickel sulfate intensifies the in-situ conversion of kerogen-containing domanik deposits and improves the quality of the resulting synthetic oil during hydrothermal treatment. "We achieved not only an increase in yield but also a significant reduction in the weight of synthetic oil under realistic hydrothermal processing...
