Shale oil
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 (
kerogen
) into
synthetic oil and gas
. The resulting oil can be used immediately as a fuel or
upgraded
to meet
refinery
feedstock
specifications by adding
hydrogen
and removing
impurities
such as
sulfur
and
nitrogen
. The refined products can be used for the same purposes as those derived from
crude oil
.
