They may not be the only ones trying to race to a workable solution on a number of levels. The question is which method or approach will they finally select? Other oil companies are working on some of the same challenges and all seem to be looking at somewhat different methods to get there for various applications envisioned including those that were hinted at by EcoMike. Of course the other alternative choices in approach some of the other players may be exploring could simply be be due to the patents that MVTG has established already for their methods - it'd seem foolish to tread all over it if protected. But also keep in mind that if someone were to encroach upon it that would be something defendable - in most such cases the party doing the encroaching is "encouraged" to simply license the technology to avoid litigation. To your point - in any case you can clearly see an interest by more than one of the deep pocket energy companies to pursue a lot of this sort of technology; suffice it to say there's a lot a stake to encourage them to do so.
