Shale oil (immature - unconventional oil)
Mining
– Oil shale (kerogen shale): organic-rich sedimentary rock that contains solid mixtures of chemical compounds
– Surface mining (open pit, strip mining)
– Underground mining (room and pillar method)
Extraction (ex-situ or in-situ)
– Oil shale is immature: kerogen not converted to oil by heat/pressure
– Pyrolysis/retorting (450-500°C): converts kerogen to shale oil (synthetic crude oil) and gas
Refining/upgrading
– Hydrotreating/-cracking

Conclusion
1st Nordic GC×GC workshop
5 March 2013, Haldor Topsøe/DK
To control and predict refinery processes using tailor-made
catalysts improved knowledge about refinery streams, their
composition, properties and reactivity based on a petroleo-
mics approach with comprehensive separation and identifi-
cation of component classes and individual compounds is
needed. In such processes, GC×GC seems a very strong
analytical and diagnostic tool.
