Considerations on the Extraction of Hydromineral Raw Materials as Accompanying Mineral in the Development of Oil Fields
In the modern world, high-tech industries are the basis for sustainable economic development, export growth and the welfare of the population. Complex processes and equipment require the use of rare elements contained in hydromineral (HM) raw materials that are not mined in the Russian Federation, which increases import dependence and creates risks of low-grade raw materials. The article describes a promising approach to import substitution of hydromineral raw materials through its extraction as an associated mineral in the development of hydrocarbon fields. The article also considers a number of first-priority regulatory and technological aspects supporting the introduction of this approach.
