Shale oil is an unconventional oil produced from oil shale rock fragments by pyrolysis, hydrogenation, or thermal dissolution. These processes convert the organic matter within the rock into synthetic oil and gas.

2022年8月23日 · Shale oil is a type of unconventional oil found in shale formations that must be hydraulically fractured to extract the oil. Primary uses include heating oil, marine fuel, and the production...

2022年4月29日 · 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."

Oil shale is an organic-rich fine-grained sedimentary rock containing kerogen (a solid mixture of organic chemical compounds) from which liquid hydrocarbons can be produced. In addition to kerogen, general composition of oil shales constitutes inorganic substance and bitumens.

2023年10月19日 · Oil shale is the rock from which shale oil is extracted. Shale oil is similar to petroleum, and can be refined into many different substances, including diesel fuel, gasoline , and liquid petroleum gas ( LPG ).

Oil shale, any sedimentary rock containing various amounts of solid organic material that yields petroleum products, along with a variety of solid by-products, when subjected to pyrolysis—a treatment that consists of heating the rock to above 300 °C …

Shale oil, in fossil fuel production, either a synthetic crude oil that is extracted from oil shale by means of pyrolysis or a naturally occurring crude oil that is extracted from underground shale deposits by means of fracking (hydraulic fracturing).

2022年6月20日 · Oil shale is a type of sedimentary rock formation that can be used to produce oil and gas. Oil shale can produce oil and gas because of the presence of kerogen, a type of organic...

Shale oil, on the other hand, is a type of unconventional oil that is trapped within fine-grained sedimentary rocks. It contains kerogen, a precursor to oil, which requires additional processing to convert it into usable liquid fuel.

Shale oil is a type of liquid hydrocarbon derived from oil shale, a sedimentary rock rich in organic compounds called kerogens. To extract this oil, the rock undergoes unconventional processes, such as heating or hydraulic fracturing (fracking), which involves injecting a high-pressure mixture of water, sand, and chemicals. While shale oil extraction offers significant reserves, particularly ...
