Abstract

Fifty four oil shale samples from the Stuart and Condor deposits have been pyrolysed by material balance modified Fischer assay to extend existing, and develop new correlations between shale oil yield and organic carbon. The study has confirmed that organic carbon levels on fresh and spent shales are linearly related to oil shale grade and that organic carbon conversion to products is non linear and appears to approach an asymptotic limit. The Stuart and Condor correlations developed are remarkably similar given the differences between the deposits.
