The concept of injecting heated gas into the oil shale reservoir for pyrolysis was the CRUSH (Chevron's technology for the Recovery and Upgrading of oil from Shale) process proposed by the Chevron Corporation, California [27], [28]. It utilizes natural or artificially induced fractures in the oil shale to inject heated gas into the oil shale ...

In a high-price environment, shale producers could throw money at a problem or a supplier, while the low-price environment forced them to wring efficiencies out of the process. As a result, US shale producers adjusted exploration and extraction techniques to weather the turmoil of low oil prices and Saudi oil-market policies prior to the Vienna ...

The combination of subcritical water and catalyst was proposed for oil shale extraction. The extraction of Huadian oil shale in FeCl 2 solution was performed at 350 °C to evaluate the combined method. At 20 h, a high yield of bitumen 1 (the bitumen discharged from shale matrix) was obtained in FeCl 2 solution with an optimal …

Ammonium sulfate, a by-product of oil shale processing, can also be used to produce fertilizer [7]. The Oil shale mining technology can be divided into traditional surface distillation technology and underground in-situ mining technology [8]. The primary way to develop oil shale is surface distillation.

Shell first proposed an in-situ conversion process (Shell ICP), which is an in-situ electrical heating method for oil shale conversion in the 1970s, and applied for invention patents in many countries [112], [113]. The technology involves drilling into the deposit, then placing an electrical heater in the borehole to heat the oil shale.

The world's oil shale resources are estimated to be equivalent to more than 2.9 trillion barrels of oil (one barrel = 0.159 m 3 ), and these resources are distributed widely across the world [1 ...

Brief but comprehensive, Shale Gas Production Processes begins with an overview of the chemistry, engineering and technology of shale gas.

However, this retorting technology is only applicable of coarse oil shale particles bigger than 10 mm in diameter. A lot of fine oil shale particles are discarded, resulting in waste of resources. Besides, this technology is criticized by low economic benefit. The main objective of this paper is to develop a coupling oil shale retorting …

1. Introduction. Shale gas is widely distributed and abundant in reserves with huge exploitation potential, which has great social and economic value [1], [2].Due to the complex physicochemical properties of shale reservoirs [3], almost all shale gas wells need to undergo reservoir fracturing to achieve commercial production, so fracturing technology …
