Kerogen, precursor of oil, is a hydrocarbon of large molecular weight, entrapped within the body of shale. Hydrocarbons are retrieved from the matrix in the retorting process at the temperature in excess of 320°C. Surface retorting has severe negative environmental impact. In 1980s Shell Oil Co., has developed In-situ Conversion Process (ICP) in which retorting process takes place underground, hence greatly reducing the carbon footprint. ...
