REVIEW AND ANALYSIS OF OIL SHALE TECHNOLOGIES Volume 3.Modified In Situ Technology

摘要

The modified in situ process evaluated in this volume of the report is the Rubble In Situ Extraction (RISE) method, which is being developed by the Lawrence Livermore Labora¬tory (LLL). Although another modified in situ method has been successfully demonstrated (by Occidental Petroleum Corporation), that method was not evaluated because much of the information needed to perform the assessment is propri¬etary. The technical evaluation of the RISE process, which is in the conceptual stage of development, reveals that it offers a promising method for creating the necessary perme¬ability in the zone to be retorted.
