In Situ Retorting Of Oil Shale And Energy Recovery
US Patent:
4169506, Oct 2, 1979
Filed:
Jul 15, 1977
Appl. No.:
5/815994
Inventors:
Kay L. Berry - Denver CO
Assignee:
Standard Oil Company (Indiana) - Chicago IL
International Classification:
E21B 4324, E21C 4110
US Classification:
166256
Abstract:
Disclosed is a process for the in situ retorting of oil shale and energy recovery from generated off gases. An underground retort containing rubblized oil shale is subjected to retorting, thereby forming shale oil and off gases. The off gases are purified and burned in a gas turbine. Commonly this process comprises forming a subterranean in situ retort containing rubblized oil shale having a void space of about 5 to about 40 percent; passing a retorting gas through the in situ retort to effectively retort the oil shale and produce a mixture of shale oil and off gases; subjecting the mixture of shale oil and off gases to a preliminary separation to remove gross quantities of shale oil from the off gases; passing a portion of the off gases to a purification zone so as to remove off gas impurities which would be detrimental to the environment or the operation of downstream equipment; and passing a portion of the purified off gases to a gas turbine where said off gases are burned and power is generated.
In Situ Retorting Of Oil Shale
US Patent:
4328863, May 11, 1982
Filed:
Mar 14, 1980
Appl. No.:
6/130551
Inventors:
Kay L. Berry - Denver CO
Assignee:
Standard Oil Company (Indiana) - Chicago IL
International Classification:
E21B 43247
US Classification:
166261
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for the underground retorting of oil shale comprising introducing retorting fluid from a first direction into a retort containing rubblized mass comprising oil shale until the mass is substantially retorted; and then introducing oxygen containing gas from a second direction substantially opposite to the first direction to combust with coke or hydrocarbonaceous materials in the rubblized mass and retort a portion of unretorted rubblized mass.
