Preliminary Study of a Newly Discovered Subsurface Oil Shale Deposit in Southern Jordan

摘要

1. Study of lsfir-1 borehole provides insights to guide OS exploration in southern Jordan and may have value for future planning related to effective OS extraction 2. Intermediate oil yield and high ash yields characterize this deposit. The oil yield could be tremendous. OM content and thermal maturity are important factors 3. The major element chemistry is found to be relatively consistent (the upper OS section) 4. Reducing conditions at the sediment-water interface prevailed during OS formation (low Mn and Mn/AI) 5. Studies related to OS exploration are in progress.
