  • the impact of the Shale Oil revolution on u s Oil and gasoline prices
    Review of Environmental Economics and Policy, 2016
    Co-Authors: Lutz Kilian
    Abstract:

    This article examines how the Shale Oil revolution has shaped the evolution of U.S. crude Oil and gasoline prices. It puts the evolution of Shale Oil production into historical perspective, highlights uncertainties about future Shale Oil production, and cautions against the view that the U.S. may become the next Saudi Arabia. It then reviews the effects of the ban on U.S. crude Oil exports, of capacity constraints in refining and transporting crude Oil, of differences in the quality of conventional and unconventional crude Oil, and of the recent regional fragmentation of the global market for crude Oil on the determination of U.S. Oil and gasoline prices. It discusses the reasons for the persistent wedge between U.S. crude Oil prices and global crude Oil prices in recent years and for the fact that domestic Oil prices below global levels have not translated to lower U.S. gasoline prices. It also examines the role of Shale Oil in causing the 2014 Oil price decline. Finally, it explains why the Shale Oil revolution unlike the Shale gas revolution is unlikely to stimulate a U.S. boom in Oil-intensive manufacturing industries, and it explores more generally the implications of the Shale Oil revolution for the U.S. economy.

  • effect of Oil Shale retorting temperature on Shale Oil yield and properties
    Fuel, 2012
    Co-Authors: Jeonggeol Na, Cheol Hyun Im, Soo Hyun Chung
    Abstract:

    Abstract The effects of retorting temperature of Oil Shale on the yield and properties of Shale Oil produced were studied in a batch reactor. US western Oil Shale was retorted at the temperatures of 400, 450, and 500 °C. During the retorting process, Shale Oil samples were collected at different time periods and their distillation characteristics were analyzed. The yield of Shale Oil was increased with increasing reaction temperature, but the ratio of Oil/gas was reduced in the retorting at 500 °C. This implies that there exists an optimal retorting temperature for the maximum yield of liquid Oil. It is noticeable that the bOiling point of Shale Oil was lowest when the retorting was carried out at 450 °C and the Shale Oils obtained in the retorting at 400 and 500 °C showed similar bOiling point distributions. In the analysis of Shale Oil collected at different time periods, high bOiling point Oils were produced initially, and later low bOiling point Oils were produced.

  • Chapter Ten – Characterization of Shale Oil
    Fluid Phase Behavior for Conventional and Unconventional Oil and Gas Reservoirs, 2020
    Co-Authors: M.a. Ahmadi, Alireza Bahadori
    Abstract:

    This chapter presents an introduction to Shale Oil and its effects on energy resources. Moreover, this chapter provides useful information about types of Shale Oil reservoir fluids along with some basic scientific concepts regarding genesis of liquids in Shale pores. This chapter describes the methods of Shale Oil extraction. In addition, it explains classical thermodynamics and how we can include the effect of confinement in our Pressure–Volume–Temperature (PVT) calculations along with conventional and modified flash calculations. In this regard, several field examples are provided at the end of the chapter. In addition, it highlights the effect of confinement on critical properties of Shale Oil along with useful examples. Finally, at the end of the chapter, several useful problems are provided.

  • Properties of Shale Oil
    Shale Oil and Gas Handbook, 2020
    Co-Authors: Sohrab Zendehboudi, Alireza Bahadori
    Abstract:

    Shale Oil is unconventional Oil, which is produced from Oil Shale pyrolysis, hydrogenation, or thermal dissolution [1]. Generally, the term Oil Shale is given to any type of sedimentary rock that contains solid bituminous materials (called kerogen) that are released from petroleum-like liquids when the rock is heated in the chemical process of pyrolysis [2].
