Samples of oil shale from DeBeque (Colo.) were extracted for a total of 311 hours with chloroform, and a total of 18.6 percent of the kerogen was made soluble. This oil or bitumen was derived from a more soluble part of kerogen. Kerogen has previously been regarded as insoluble in organic solvents, but investigations showed that the kerogen of certain oil shales became soluble after long contact with chloroform and that the amount of oil extracted varied directly with the time of treatment.
