"It should be noted that the MTT technology is being developed in accordance with the Energy Strategy of the Russian Federation 2050 and is an element of the program "Technological Sovereignty and Technological Leadership in the Oil and Gas Industry" implemented with the participation of the Competence Center for Technological Development of the Fuel and Energy Complex under the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation.

As practical steps, an analytical study of the potential market volume for the industrial introduction of the MTT by companies in the Russian oil and gas industry in the format of a comprehensive oilfield service "MTT Fleet" is already being implemented, and industry technical and methodological documentation is being developed to unify the MTT in the Russian oil and gas industry," said "Oil Resource" (part of the Kirillitsa Group of Companies)' Deputy Director General for Technological Development Konstantin Prochukhan.
