TYUMEN, September 16 - RIA Novosti. One of the iconic technologies in the field of oil and gas equipment that has been mastered in Russia is the hydraulic fracturing complex, the head of the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade, Anton Alikhanov, told reporters.
“The hydraulic fracturing fleet (hydraulic fracturing - ed.), which was developed by our MIT (Moscow Institute of Thermal Engineering - ed.). Now this is a specific industrial operation, on several, so to speak, wells, in the interests of different producing companies. Therefore, we can say that we have mastered this technology, it has already become so industrial,” he answered a question about Russian innovations in oil and gas equipment.
