IGT HYTORT Process for hydrogen retorting of Devonian oil shales

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6117969
In the IGT HYTORT Process, Devonian shales are processed at controlled heating rates in an atmosphere of hydrogen at high pressure which can more than double the yields of shale oil and hydrocarbon gases. The resources of Devonian oil shale and the economics of producing synthetic crude oil from them are discussed briefly. (LK)
