Abstract:

The 33rd Oil Shale Symposium sponsored by Colorado School of Mines was held in 14-16 Oct, 2013. The emphasis of the symposium was on the following: geological surveys, chemical analyses, surface retorting technologies, in-situ technologies, international projects and development, and risk assessments of oil shale. A summary is given of the most important facts and views presented in the symposium. It is indicated that the development and utilization of oil shale in the world is evolving toward in-situ, fast, economical and environment friendly direction. Many techniques and ideas presented in the symposium, such as the spectroscopic analysis, boiling oil in situ conversion process and its pilot test, the design, and development of the new oil shale, are worthy of our learning and reference.

Key words: oil shale, international symposium, geological survey, chemical analysis, retorting technology, in-situ, oil shale project
