Abstract

See full text

One or more in situ oil shale retorts are alternately operated in a combustion mode and a purge mode with a steam or water purge to produce a greater yield of shale oil. Hydrogen-rich off gases emitted during purging are mixed with the shale oil in a reactor in the presence of a catalyst, after being stripped of carbon dioxide, to produce a high quality shale oil. The reactor off gases, purge mode off gases, and/or hydrogen gases can also be used as the purge gas.
