The Oil Shale Exploration Company (OSEC) planned to apply the Taciuk technology to processing oil shale from the Green River Formation in Utah. The company was awarded a 160-acre (0.65 square kilometer) research, development, and demonstration lease by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in December 2006 for the White River Mine site in …

In shale oil recovery technologies, retorting is a pyrolytic process designed to produce oil. Generally, this process is performed by placing oil shale in a sealed vessel heated in order to promote pyrolysis; this reactor is called a retort. Retorting residue or spent shale Solid waste material remaining after retorting.

Shale oil extraction is usually performed above ground ( ex situ processing) by mining the oil shale and then treating it in processing facilities. Other modern technologies perform the processing underground (on-site or in situ processing) by applying heat and extracting the oil …

Topsoe shale oil processing technology Making the best out of shale oil. Shale oils present unique challenges. While shale oils vary greatly depending on their source of origin, they do have many physical properties in common, such as high density and contaminants.

Oil shale processing technology Abstract This excellent monograph of information compiled by experts from around the world in the field of processing oil shales presents a comprehensive review of all commercial or near-commercial processing technology for …

The hydraulic fracturing process was used in conventional limestone and sandstone reservoirs for decades before the onset of the shale revolution. But it was not until the 1970s that significant attempts to apply the technology to gas shale were made, pioneered by DOE research and demonstration project cost-sharing

had set the aim to develop a technology of the thermal processing of oil shale with a particle size of up to 25 mm to obtain high-calorific liquid and gaseous fuels. The share of oil shale of such particle size constitutes about 70% of total oil shale mined. Therefore only about 30% of the oil shale extracted is subject to a further crushing.

10%Oil shale is a complex mixture of organic and inorganic phases, in which the organic phase is normally that of the greater economic and practical value. In nature there exists a wide range of materials that include these same components, and not all of these materials are candidates for actual use; in some instances, the organic content is ...

The processing of shale oil is essentially done by retorting, which consists of heating crushed shale in a closed vessel up to a temperature (~ 500 °C) at which the matter releases crude oil, gases, char, and steam. The fraction of extractable oil is 10–20% by volume with respect to the solid shale material.

For shale gas, hydraulic fracturingof a reservoir is the preferred stimulation method (see graphic below). This typically involves injecting pressurized fluids to stimulate or fracture shale formations and release the natural gas. Sand pumped in with the fluids (often water) helps to keep the fractures open.

Accelerating shale production through digital technology integration . With its attractive project economics, development cycles and resource availability, shale has celebrated a boom over the last few years. It has been particularly critical as producers have tried to counter some of the deleterious effects of the industry downturn.

Retorting in which the process heat requirement is accomplished by combustion of a portion of the oil shale within the retort. Oil shale retorting performed aboveground (requiring mining of the oil shale).

shale gas production and future production potential.5 These considerable changes result primarily from new technology developments in hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling that have allowed industry to produce oil and gas from low permeability formations including shale and "tight" formations, often called "unconventional ...

Estonian basic power supply is over 90% covered by oil shale-fired thermal power plants. The original units, commissioned between 1959 and 1973, used pulverized firing (PF) technology.

A shale rock sample was scanned by micro-CT technology, tomographic images of the rock sample were obtained, and the three-dimensional structure was reconstructed by Avizo software. The uneven three-dimensional space structure inside the rock sample was composed of fractures, branch fractures and pores. Sample 1 has a porosity of 6–8% due to …

Shale oil extraction is an industrial process for unconventional oil production. This process converts kerogen in oil shale into shale oil by pyrolysis, hydrogenation, or thermal dissolution.The resultant shale oil is used as fuel oil or upgraded to meet refinery feedstock specifications by adding hydrogen and removing sulfur and nitrogen impurities.. Shale oil extraction is usually …
