A Mini-PIPPS proposal to transfer knowledge from analytical advances from ExoMars instrument development to the petroleum industry. Subcritical water will be used to extract hydrocarbons from samples on Mars. Manipulation of temperature and pressure allows the selective dissolution and transformation of organic compounds. On Earth these approaches can be used to turn unconventional hydrocarbons into conventional petroleum. The global amounts of unconventional resources dwarf their conventional counterparts. Compared to existing procedures, subcritical water processing has substantial environmental and economical benefits. This proposal, which combines Imperial College London and BP, is exciting and topical and could have an enormous impact on the UK and global economy.

Mini-PIPPS 提案旨在将 ExoMars 仪器开发的分析进展知识转移到石油工业。亚临界水将用于从火星样本中提取碳氢化合物。控制温度和压力可以选择性地溶解和转化有机化合物。在地球上，这些方法可用于将非常规​​碳氢化合物转化为常规石油。全球非常规资源的数量使常规资源相形见绌。与现有工艺相比，亚临界水处理具有显着的环境和经济效益。这项由伦敦帝国理工学院和英国石油公司联合提出的提案令人兴奋且备受关注，可能对英国和全球经济产生巨大影响。
