- alexose 2y agoPretty much, yeah. Vaulted Deep (https://vaulteddeep.com/ https://vaulteddeep.com/) is doing a version of this.
- semi-extrinsic 2y agoNope. You need to understand that an oil reservoir is 100% rock, but a rock that is porous on the microlevel. Stuff that gets pumped down needs to be a proper fluid, not just a slurry, or it will just clog the pores in half an hour.
