Optimising the Use of Spent Oil Shale [PDF]
Worldwide deposits of oil shales are thought to represent ~3 trillion barrels of oil. Jordanian oil shale deposits are extensive and high quality, and could represent 100 billion barrels of oil, leading to much interest in the development of deposits ...

Synthesis and analysis of jet fuel from shale oil and coal syncrudes [PDF]
Thirty-two jet fuel samples of varying properties were produced from shale oil and coal syncrudes, and analyzed to assess their suitability for use. TOSCO II shale oil and H-COAL and COED syncrudes were used as starting materials. The processes used were

Probabilistic Heat Transfer in Variably Random Oil Shale Kerogen Deposit [PDF]
Oil shale is one of most potential unconventional oil sources to replace the conventional crude oil in future. It is a fine sedimentary rock which rich in organic substances called kerogen.

The Price Responsiveness of Shale Producers: Evidence from Micro Data [PDF]
We show that shale oil producers respond positively to favourable oil price signals, and that this response is mainly associated with the timing of production decisions through well completion and refracturing, consistent with the Hotelling theory of ...

Molecular modeling on Gulong shale oil and wettability of reservoir matrix [PDF]
Understanding molecular interactions between oil and reservoir matrix is crucial to develop a productive strategy for enhanced oil recovery. Molecular dynamics simulation has become an important method for analyzing microscopic mechanisms of some static ...

Is Shale Development Drilling Holes in the Human Capital Pipeline? [PDF]
Using the Synthetic Control Method (SCM) and a novel method for measuring changes in educational attainment we examine the link between educational attainment and shale oil and gas extraction for the states of Montana, North Dakota, and West Virginia ...

Field Tests of High-Density Oil-Based Drilling Fluid Application in Horizontal Segment [PDF]
The operation experience of horizontal segment well in the southern Sichuan area within the hard brittle shale layer of Longmaxi formation demonstrates that the high-density oil-based drilling fluid (HDOF) induced down-hole working condition, which is typically high-temperature, high-pressure and solid-phase-dominant, will directly impact the stability

Unconventional oil production: stuck in a rock and a hard place [PDF]
Oil can be derived from oil sands and oil shale, but the job is both economically and environmentally costly.
