Oil shale from DeBeque (Colo.) was pyrolyzed in a Ginet retort under low-temperature carbonization conditions. The crude shale oil was fractionated after which the distribution and character of the saturated, unsaturated, sulfur, and nitrogen compounds were determined. Generally, cracking of the unsaturated and unstable oils in the heavy-distillate fraction produced lower-molecular-weight oils of higher saturation.
