Abstract In this paper the history and current status of
development of IITRI's RF process for in situ oil
shale/tar sand fuel extraction is described. A brief description of the
salient features of IITRI's RF process is given,
together with a review of past laboratory development activities. The results
of the recently completed 5 million dollar cooperative program, jointly
funded by government and industry, are also described, including oil shale
field tests, tar sand field tests, and supporting laboratory and analytical
studies. Of special interest are the results of the latest tar sand field
test wherein a 60-ton block of tar sand was heated in place to |
