SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MONITORING METAL RECOVERY SYSTEMS
Various embodiments provide a leaching solution monitoring module comprising a first leaching solution distribution system interface, a flow meter in fluid communication with the first leaching solution distribution system interface, the flow meter in fluid communication a 3-way pressure regulator, and a second leaching solution distribution system interface in fluid communication with the 3-way pressure regulator.
A METHOD FOR MATRIX-ACID STIMULATION DESIGN IN LIMITED ENTRY LINERS
A method for stimulation of a well in a material formation which includes a workflow for the design of hole-size distribution in the liner of a LEL liner system is modelled, wherein a solution strategy for providing an initial estimate of the number of holes per segment honours the acid coverage per segment and the drop in pressure (dp) across the last one of the holes, where the initial estimate can be found from the relationship between interstitial velocity, pump rate, and total cross-sectional hole area for a particular discharge coefficient and liner configuration.
System and methods for in situ recovery and processing of recovered solutions
A method and system are provided for the creation of vertical and horizontal freeze wells, in a dome-like pattern around the ore body, as a hydraulic barrier to ensure the ISR mining solution and the mined minerals do not flow out of the ore body. A method to formulate a suitable mining solution used for ISR mining, where the lixivant does not freeze when using the freeze dome containment method and where the resulting PLS has a high concentration of dissolved minerals and thus eliminates the need for the solvent extraction/ion exchange step during processing is also described.

Inducing subterranean formation complexity
A method comprising: introducing a first fluid into a wellbore above a fracture gradient of a subterranean formation penetrated by the wellbore to create a first plurality of fractures within a first portion of the subterranean formation; introducing a second fluid comprising at least one acid component into the wellbore above the fracture gradient of the subterranean formation penetrated by the wellbore to create a second plurality of fractures within a second portion of the subterranean formation; allowing the second fluid to enter at least one natural fracture in the first or second portion of the subterranean formation allowing the acid component to dissolve at least a portion of the subterranean formation to form one or more induced fractures in fluidic communication with the natural fracture, at least some of the first plurality of fractures, and at least some of the second plurality of fractures.
