1. shale oil

   Shale oil, also referred to as tight oil, is a type of unconventional oil found in shale formations, which are fine-grained sedimentary rocks. It is obtained through hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," a process in which water, sand, and chemicals are injected into the ground to break apart the shale rock and release the trapped oil. This oil is generally lighter and sweeter (low sulphur content) than traditional crude oil. Shale oil production has become a significant part of the global oil supply due to advancements in drilling and extraction technologies.

1. Shale oil

   Shale oil, known also as kerogen oil or oil-shale oil, is an unconventional oil produced from oil shale by pyrolysis, hydrogenation, or thermal dissolution. These processes convert the organic matter within the rock into synthetic oil and gas. The resulting oil can be used immediately as a fuel or upgraded to meet refinery feedstock specifications by adding hydrogen and removing impurities such as sulfur and nitrogen. The refined products can be used for the same purposes as those derived from crude oil.
