DTU improve cost efficiency31 May 2018 08:25
Funny how the revenue from DTU was discussed. So on well 2 we did not get 100 percent ROI and HNR aid half the costs which is fair enough but it is also clear that companies do not wish to pay for the high costs of utilising DTU and PWP. So the Directors are aware to br8ng the costs down to make it more commercial.
Even if nitrogen is found, what will the costs be to recover the nitrogen? But they need to be successful on this project to hopefully be able to reduce the costs of DTU process for their future clients and provide nitrogen to other sources to create a revenue which in turn can help to reduce the overall costs of utilising DTU,

As recently reported, Highlands has completed its second deployment of DT Ultravert, which was conducted in the Permian Basin shale oil field. The Company received US$194,750 from the independent well operator for the deployment of the technology, which amounted to approximately 50% of the total cost of the DT Ultravert treatment. The deployment of DT Ultravert was successful and, significantly, the exercise demonstrates that independent upstream operators are willing and able to pay for DT Ultravert. However, the Directors are aware that the profitable and large-scale commercialization of DT Ultravert may depend on improving its cost efficiency.
