Shale and tight oil reservoirs, with horizontal wells and hydraulic fractures, typically have a
recovery ratio of around 10%. The exploration of tight oil and shale in North America has …

The idea of in-situ combustion (ISC) for oil shale development and conversion has been
proposed recently. Due to the low permeability of oil shale, it usually requires fracturing …

The kinetics of non-catalytic oil shale conversion at sub-and supercritical water conditions
was studied. All experiments were carried out in a batch reactor at 300–400° C and 1–48 h …

This paper corroborates the capability of supercritical water to generate active hydrogen that
interact with the different fractions involved in unconventional feedstocks such as oil shale …

This paper comprehensively analyzes the geochemical, mineralogical and petrographical
properties combined with bulk kinetics modeling of the Domanik organic-rich carbonate from …

The study investigated the relationship between the temperature field distribution and
fracture connectivity of oil shale heated by water vapor using infrared thermal imaging …

An innovative method combining CaCl 2 with subcritical water is proposed for in-situ mining
of oil shale. The catalytic hydrothermal pyrolysis of block Huadian oil shale was carried out …

In this paper the effect of supercritical water (SCW) at 374° C and 22.4–24.6 MPa on the
conversion of resins, asphaltenes, and kerogens in rocks of different lithofacies of Domanic …

To further clarify the optimal target layer in the horizontal section of Wufeng–Longmaxi
shale, we selected 126 shale samples from the Wufeng–Longmaxi Formations (Long111 to …

This research investigates the use of supercritical water (SCW) with solvents to enhance the
conversion of oil shale (in core and powder form) in synthetic oil at temperatures of 380, 400 …
