Russia plans to use synchrotron radiation for oil production

Such technologies are expected to be created and implemented by 2025.

Russian scientists expect to increase the oil recovery of the Bazhenov and Achimov formations due to synchrotron radiation. This was stated by the director of the scientific and educational center of Gazpromneft-NSU S. Golovin.

Gazpromneft, universities and scientific organizations will create a consortium that will study the Bazhenov and Achimov formations to solve the problem of intensifying the extraction of hard-to-recover oil reserves from these formations.
