Could you build this?
No Developing proprietary chemical formulations to break rock for oil, gas, and mining requires deep chemical engineering, wet labs, and industrial field testing.
What it would actually take: This is a physical materials science and industrial chemistry company requiring laboratory synthesis of surfactants, chelating agents, or non-hazardous lixiviants, followed by core-flood testing, geomechanical stress analysis, and industrial field trials. It requires PhD chemical engineers, geochemists, and specialized wet-lab equipment entirely outside the scope of software.
