1 Interaction between reactivity and flow in the in-situ production of oil from oil shale2009-10-23in situ; oil shaleIn-situ Oil Shale Processing: 1) Underground resources are heated by some means to convert insoluable/ impermeable kerogen into oil and gas products. 2) The interlinked processes of heat transfer, kerogen conversion and flow are complex. 3) This paper is an attempt to understand these linkages.
2 Geologic characterization of Utah oil shale deposits2010-04-28oil shale development; geologic framework; lake evolution; oil shale; stratigraphic correlationWhy Geology?
