Larry- I am suggesting anything remotely close to our process needs to be looked at very closely. Some of these companies are ones that have been saying our process will not work or that it could not be commercially viable. Now we find out they are working on something along the same lines. I cannot see where it would be any cheaper to run hot water pipes under the ground to heat the mixture and then bring it to the top and move it into the plant than it is with our process to pile the earth in a truck, dump it in a crusher, and take this broken down product to and heated vat of water (by means of a conveyor belt).
Plus our ideas also plan to use some of the by-products (the minerals) to help pay for the costs where the process these companies are testing sounds like they are only after the bitumen.
How would you run water into the ground deep enough to get most of the water and still get it to rise to the top of the ground? Sounds almost impossible to me, unless they are only after the bitumen in the top layer.
