NL is pioneering the development of breakthrough technology to unlock oil from Australia's largest oil resource, with 17.3 billion barrels of oil shale held in ten 

Production of oil from oil shale has, historically, proven non-profitable, due interest in the technology and products, but the absence of a source of kerogen oil served as an water. Breakthrough progress was made under the current study.

In situ technologies heat oil shale underground by injecting hot fluids into the rock formation, or by using linear or planar heating sources followed by thermal conduction and convection to distribute heat through the target area. Shale oil is then recovered through vertical wells drilled into the formation.

Mitchell’s best bet was to unlock gas from shale, a dense rock deep below Mitchell Energy’s acreage in North Texas. Larger rivals, such as Exxon and Chevron, already had shuttered operations drilling in challenging shale, however, all but giving up on the country. The United States was running on empty,

Oil Shale Breakthrough? Fortune Magazine Reports a breakthrough in oil shale recovery.a cutting-edge technology that, according to Shell, will produce large quantities of high-quality oil without ravaging the local environment - and be profitable with prices around $30 a barrel.

And without cutting-edge water treatment technology, the water discharge from oil shale refining will increase salinity in surrounding water, poisoning the local  Probably the most important breakthrough for the global oil industry in the last decades Combination of favorable market conditions, new technologies and know-hows Kerogen oil (oil shale) – source rock laced with solid organic matter. Production of oil from oil shale has, historically, proven non-profitable, due interest in the technology and products, but the absence of a source of kerogen oil served as an water. Breakthrough progress was made under the current study. Shale gas has been produced for extend periods in the United States in the Illinois and the Appalachian basins. Due to recent advances in technology, the Barnett 

But unlike with the gushing fields of the Middle East, extracting oil from shale is like trying to squeeze juice out of frozen lemons. Traditionally, the shale has been surface mined like coal and heated until an oil-like substance called kerogen turns to liquid and oozes out. Oil companies produce shale oil by fracturing the rock formations that contain the layers of oil. Shale oil comprises more than a third of the onshore production of crude oil in the lower 48 states. As a result, the United States became the world’s largest crude-oil producer, according to the Energy Information Administration. In situ technologies heat oil shale underground by injecting hot fluids into the rock formation, or by using linear or planar heating sources followed by thermal conduction and convection to distribute heat through the target area. Shale oil is then recovered through vertical wells drilled into the formation. Oil shale gains attention as a potential abundant source of oil whenever the price of crude oil rises. At the same time, oil-shale mining and processing raise a number of environmental concerns, such as land use, waste disposal, water use, waste-water management, greenhouse-gas emissions and air pollution. Compared to the old technology, the oil shale in-situ method applies heat to the oil shale layer to make it crack and produce shale oil and natural gas underground. It's then pumped above ground. The process costs less and avoids generating a lot of waste residue, gas and water.
