    Shell in situ conversion process. Shell's experimental in-situ oil shale facility, Piceance Basin, Colorado. The Shell in situ conversion process ( Shell ICP) is an in situ shale oil extraction technology to convert kerogen in oil shale to shale oil. It is developed by the Shell Oil Company .

  3. Extraction of petroleum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraction_of_petroleum

    Petroleum is mostly recovered from oil drilling. Seismic surveys and other methods are used to locate oil reservoirs. Oil rigs and oil platforms are used to drill long holes into the earth to create an oil well and extract petroleum. After extraction, oil is refined to make gasoline and other products such as tires and refrigerators.

  4. Expeller pressing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expeller_pressing

    Expeller pressing (also called oil pressing) is a mechanical method for extracting oil from raw materials. The raw materials are squeezed under high pressure in a single step. When used for the extraction of food oils, typical raw materials are nuts, seeds and algae, which are supplied to the press in a continuous feed. As the raw material is ...

  5. Enhanced oil recovery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhanced_oil_recovery

    Enhanced oil recovery (abbreviated EOR), also called tertiary recovery, is the extraction of crude oil from an oil field that cannot be extracted otherwise. Although the primary and secondary recovery techniques rely on the pressure differential between the surface and the underground well, enhanced oil recovery functions by altering the ...

  6. Shale oil extraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shale_oil_extraction

    Shale oil extraction is an industrial process for unconventional oil production. This process converts kerogen in oil shale into shale oil by pyrolysis, hydrogenation, or thermal dissolution. The resultant shale oil is used as fuel oil or upgraded to meet refinery feedstock specifications by adding hydrogen and removing sulfur and nitrogen ...

The name petroleum covers both naturally occurring unprocessed crude oil and petroleum products that consist of refined crude oil. Petroleum is primarily recovered by ...

  9. Oil shale industry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_shale_industry

    The oil shale industry is an industry of mining and processing of oil shale —a fine-grained sedimentary rock, containing significant amounts of kerogen (a solid mixture of organic chemical compounds), from which liquid hydrocarbons can be manufactured. The industry has developed in Brazil, China, Estonia and to some extent in Germany and Russia.
