The oil saturation index method uses OSI (OSI=S 1 /TOC × 100) to evaluate shale oil movability, and the OSI value of 100 HC/g TOC is taken as the lower limit for oil effective flow ( Pepper and Corvi, 1995; Lopatin et al., 2003; Jarvie, 2012; Jarvie and Daniel, 2012 ). The higher the OSI value, the better the movability.
Oil shale must be mined using either underground- or surface-mining methods. After excavation, the oil shale must undergo …
Two factors drove the U.S. shale oil boom. First, oil prices averaged above $90 a barrel for three years, from 2011 to 2014. That was enough to allow shale exploration and production to be profitable. Second, low-interest rates gave banks and private equity investors a strong incentive to lend to shale oil companies.

Extracting oil from shale rock isn't a new idea; an Arabian doctor figured out how to do it in the 10th century, and the British Crown granted a patent for the process in 1684.
1. Introduction. Oil shale is a highly ash-rich sedimentary rock enriched with combustible organic matter [1], [2].The majority of the organic matter in oil shale is kerogen [3], [4], which is insoluble in common organic solvents [5], [6].The kerogen component is about 3% to 15% in oil shale, and consist of complex organic compound in high …

Oil shale mining has impact on the environment. In Estonia, 100 years of oil shale mining history provides sufficient experience and acknowledgement for estimating environmental impact for the future. The mining depth is increasing, and mining activities are moving from surface to underground mines. Environmental impact of oil shale …
The technology for in-situ conversion of oil shale is based on hydraulic fracturing, whereby the fractured oil shale is subjected to heating through methods such as hot steam injection, electricity, combustion, and radiation (Liu, 2019).At elevated temperatures, the kerogen within the oil shale undergoes pyrolysis, resulting in the …
In 1947, Scottish Oil Ltd undertook research to identify all mines and pits associated with the shale oil industry since its inception. This list of "Mines and Pits Sunk, 1851 to 1947" (BP archive 217013) was drawn mainly from information in legal documents such as lease, valuation and rent books. It identified 78 shafts, of which 42 were ...

Muskeg:A wet top layer of peatland (or peat bog) Overburden:A layer comprised mostly of sand and clay containing very little bitumen. Oil Sands Ore:A zone of bitumen-rich sand, which typically also contains layers of fine clays and aquifer water. …
The two most important deposits are in the Eocene Green River Formation in Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah and in the Devonian-Mississippian black shales in the eastern United States. Oil shale associated with coal deposits of Pennsylvanian age is also in the eastern United States. Other deposits are known to be in Nevada, Montana, Alaska, Kansas ...
Shale oil is a high-quality crude oil that lies between layers of shale rock, impermeable mudstone, or siltstone. Oil companies produce shale oil by fracturing the rock formations that contain the layers of oil in a process known as "fracking." Learn how shale oil works, its pros and cons, and how it compares to crude oil.
The oil shale mining area is located 3 km north of Maoming City, 110°49′10″-110°53′35″ E and 21°42′17″-21°45′00″ N, covering an area of about 20.72 km 2. The pit is located in the middle of the mining area, with a …
In the US, a study on the economic feasibility of oil shale mining conducted by Francu in Egypt showed that unless the price of crude oil reaches US $70–95 per barrel, a series of investments in mining, dry distillation unit construction, upgrading units, and auxiliary facilities will not be recovered (Francu et al., 2007). High-level oil ...
Oil shale is an important unconventional oil and gas resource, but it is poorly utilized in the Dalianhe coal mining area, northeastern China. Systematic sampling and test analysis were used to evaluate the characteristics of oil shale quality. The research shows that the oil shale between the middle and lower coal seams in the coal …

Since the pyrolysis temperature of oil shale is mainly 400–500 °C, the actual temperature of in-situ mining of oil shale usually does not exceed 600 °C, so the predetermined temperatures are selected as 150 °C, 300 °C, 400 °C, 500 °C and 600 °C. Additionally, oil shale at room temperature is used for comparison experiments.
