Russian scientists and local oil field services companies claim to have created a technology for thermochemical gas fracturing that could be an alternative to hydraulic fracturing and could increase oil production by between 1.7 and 6 times, Russia’s news agency RIA Novosti reports, citing the University of Tyumen’s press service.
The chemicals react and emit heat and gas, which makes extraction easier and lifts well productivity, according to the scientists and researchers.
The other upside in the technology, the Russians claim, is that the main component in the chemical reactions is ammonium nitrate, which is often used as fertilizer.
According to Professor Konstantin Fedorov, Director of the Institute of Physics and Technology at the University of Tyumen and the scientific consultant on the project, the improved well productivity effect lasts between 300 and 1,000 days. Production increases by between 1.7 times and 6 times compared to the initial output level, although the scientists have seen tests with production increases of 10 to 20 times.

Hope this is true and not a Ponds and Fleishman claim.
.. ammonium nitrate, which is often used as BOMB MAKING MATERIAL!.................
And fertilizer bombs, like the one Timothy McVeigh used to take out the FBI Federal building.
So instead of injecting water into the ground, it’s chemicals. I can see heads exploding already.

Now they are inventing new ways of oil-extraction?
The Russians are yet again making leftists’ heads explode.
May the quakes be with them!
In America, you drill down for oil.
In Russia, OIL COMES UP TO YOU!.................
Ammonium nitrate + crude oil = ?
Probably invented by ; Gorinski. Kin to the famous inventor of the internet and writer/producer of a few “hit” movies, America’s most bazaar citizen, a winner of the Nobel Peace Price in 2007, and famous for such quotes as, “Airplane travel is nature’s way of making you look like your passport photo.”
And the most remembered of his intelligent interjections:
“A zebra does not change its spots.”

Ammonium nitrate is cheap to make and could be made near the oil well site. That right there eliminates the enormous cost of shipping fracking sand to the oil well site.
“thermochemical gas fracturing” - thousand of small, simultaneous explosions that fracture the surrounding rock planes, creating their own material for propping open the fractures.
Sounds like it could work.
I heard it involved depleted uranium which is cheap in Russia thanks to the Clintons.
Drink enough of that Russian Vodka, and Ivan will Frack anything..
“Ammonium nitrate + crude oil = ?”
= a pressure wave which fractures the rock, looks like another method to “fraq” rather than a new technology.
From the article the ammonium nitrate is a byproduct of the chemical fracking.
-— and then the well blows out and catches fire.
