Title: Retorting of oil shale from new brunswick, canada
Abstract: Abstract Two oil shale samples from the Albert formation in the Moncton Sub‐basin, New Brunswick have been retorted in direct and indirect modes in a pilot scale moving bed retort. The maximum oil recoveries were 81% and 89% of the Fischer assay for direct and indirect mode retorting, respectively. Shale grade, bed height, retort temperature profile, recycle gas and its distribution, and air feed rate affected the oil recovery. The spent shale retained approximately 30% of the energy content of the fresh shale.
