A salt-induced viscosifying smart polymer for fracturing inter-salt shale oil reservoirs
Petroleum Science, 2019 Inter-salt shale oil reservoirs located between two salt layers are always accompanied by high temperature and high salinity. However, the present commonly used water-soluble polymers in fracturing fluids suffer from poor tolerance to high temperature ...

Treated oil shale ash and its capacity to remove Cd and Pb from aqueous solutions [PDF]
Oil Shale, 2022 Cadmium (Cd) is the most highly toxic heavy metal even at a trace level. In this study, the oil shale ash treated material was used as an adsorbent to remove cadmium and lead (Pb) metals/ions from aqueous solutions.
