In 2008, Woskov began intensively studying whether the approach could be an affordable improvement on mechanical drilling. The system would rely on injected gas to quench and carry out ash. Instead of pumping fluid and turning a drill, we’ll be burning and vaporizing rock and extracting gas, which is much easier to pump than mud.”
