Oil Shale Market (Updated Version Available)

The report offers detailed coverage of Oil Shale industry and main market trends. The market research includes historical and forecast market data, demand, application details, price trends, and company shares of the leading Oil Shale by geography. The report splits the market size, by volume and value, on the basis of application type and geography.
Oil shale, also known as kerogen shale, is an organic-rich fine-grained sedimentary rock containing kerogen (a solid mixture of organic chemical compounds) from which liquid hydrocarbons called shale oil (not to be confused with tight oil—crude oil occurring naturally in shales) can be produced. Shale oil is a substitute for conventional crude oil; however, extracting shale oil from oil shale is more costly than the production of conventional crude oil both financially and in terms of its environmental impact. Deposits of oil shale occur around the world, including major deposits in the United States. Estimates of global deposits range from 4.8 to 5 trillion barrels (760×109 to 790×109 m3) of oil in place.
