Research Summary

Oil shale refers to a sedimentary rock that contains a solid organic material known as kerogen, which has the potential to be converted into liquid hydrocarbons, similar to conventional crude oil, through a process called shale oil extraction or retorting. Oil shale formations can be found in various countries, including the United States, Estonia, China, and Brazil. Extracting oil from oil shale involves heating the rock to high temperatures, either in situ or through mining and surface retorting, to release the kerogen. Once released, the kerogen is processed to convert it into usable liquid fuels. Oil shale has significant energy potential and is considered an unconventional source of oil. However, the extraction and processing of oil shale are complex, energy-intensive, and economically challenging, making it less competitive compared to conventional oil reserves. Environmental concerns associated with oil shale extraction include water usage, waste disposal, and greenhouse gas emissions. As a result, the development and utilization of oil shale resources remain subject to economic, technological, and environmental considerations.
