3 Oil Shales vs Oil Sands Oil sands produce bitumen whereas oil shale produces kerogen Oil shales have a high organic content high in kerogen Kerogen rich shale Second White Specks Fm NAL ALIDA EAST 21/ W1M Oils shales are immature source rock Oil saturated sand Mannville Fm HUSKY NEILBURG 11/ W3M
4 What is oil shale? Formed over millions of years ago by deposition of debris on lake beds and sea bottoms Not necessarily a shale - marlstone oil shales common Kerogen is richer in hydrogen and nitrogen, and therefore has a value added to the end product After Cobban and McKinley

12 Extraction of oil from shale To obtain oil, shale must be heated to a high temperature (a process called retorting) The resultant liquid must then be separated and collected\traditional and current mining methods have been used to extract the shale before retorting An alternative but currently experimental process referred to as in situ retorting involves heating the oil shale while it is still underground, and then pumping the resulting liquid to the surface
13 Classification of oil shale processing technologies according to heating method and location [6] Heating Method Internal combustion Hot recycled solids (inert or burned shale) Conduction through a wall (various fuels) Externally generated hot gas Reactive fluids Volumetric heating Above Ground (ex-situ) Kiviter, Fushun, Union A, Paraho Direct, Superior Direct Alberta Taciuk, Galoter, Lurgi, TOSCO II, Chevron STB, LLNL HRS, Shell Spher Pumpherston, Hom Tov, Fischer assay, Oil-Tech, EcoShale In- Capsule Process, Combustion Resources PetroSIX, Union B, Paraho Indirect, Superior Indirect, Syntec process (Smith process) IGT Hytort (high-pressure H2), Xtract Technology (supercritical solvent extraction), Donor solvent processes, Chattanooga fluid bed reactor - Below Ground (in-situ) Oxy MIS, LLNL RISE, Geokinetics Horizontal, Rio Blanco - Shell ICP (primary method), EGL Oil Shale Process, IEP Geothermic Fuel Cell Process Chevron CRUSH, Petro Probe Shell ICP (some embodiments) ITTRI, LLNL and Raytheon radiofrequency processes, Global Resource microwave process, Electro-Petroleum EEOP

21 Conclusions Price of oil continue to remain ~ $100, exploitation of this resource is more attractive. Ex-situ recovery and production already occurs in Brazil, China, Estonia is the value added of the by-products enough to make it viable in Canada? Once in-situ technologies develop, southern Saskatchewan has potential.
