Oil shale is a type of unconventional hydrocarbon resources with a capability of oil production by practical thermal process called retorting. Mechanism and kinetic study of reactions occur in this process can provide the possibility of theoretical reconstruction of it and furthermore, the simulation of retorting process. Parallel, irreversible, first order reactions are the well-known type which used to modeling the reactions. Mentioned model are simulated with Simulink® (MathWorks® Inc.). By considering the appropriate values and conditions, the consumption of reactants and generation of products are studied with time and temperature. Reducing the temperature of reactions by reducing the heating rate is clearly observed in the results of simulation. Also, the effect of intermediates is apperceived well. Eventually, the study of the in-situ retorting as a simple process is shown the modus of the consumption of reactants with time and also, the importance of intermediates more than ever.

Challenges related to flotation cleaning of oil shales Issues due to compositional and surface features and post grinding surface behavior Altun, Naci Emre (2016-09-30) Oil shale is an important energy resource alternative. Despite its recognition as an unconventional oil source, oil shale is also considered as an important solid fossil fuel alternative to coal and lignites due to the solid form and remarkable extent of organic content. Utilization possibilites, similar to coal and lignites, have been considered in the past decades and direct use of oil shales in thermal power production has been possible in countries like Estonia and China. In the perspective of utilizati...
Comparison of Mechanical Behaviour of G Class Cements for different Curing Time Güner, Doğukan; ÖZTÜRK, HANDE IŞIK (2015-04-17) Since 1900's, well cementing is one of the most substantial method in casing application of oil, gas and geothermal. The American Petroleum Institute (API) identifies well cements in 8 classes with respect to pressure, temperature and the depth of the well. G class cement is the most commonly used cement type for well casing purpose due to its sulphate resistance ability. High sulphate-resistant (HSR) G class cements are often used in well cementing industry. API Standards mainly focus on uniaxial compressi...
Experimental investigation of oil accumulation in second land of internal combustion engines İÇÖZ, TUNÇ; Dursunkaya, Zafer (ASME International, 2005-01-01) Blowback of engine oil suspended in combustion gases, when the gas flows from the piston second land back into the combustion chamber is believed to contribute to oil consumption and hydrocarbon emissions in internal combustion engines. Oil accumulation in the region between top and second compression rings is a factor that influences this phenomenon. The effects of individual parameters, such as oil film thickness and viscosity, however have still not been understood. The present study was aimed at constru...
Modelling of in situ combustion for Turkish heavy crude oil fields Kök, Mustafa Verşan (1995-01-01) Different models were used to determine the possibility of in situ combustion applications for heavy crude oil fields in south-east Turkey. In the first approach a one-dimensional model was developed, in which the frontal advance concept is combined with mass and energy balance equations with certain boundary conditions, limitations and assumptions. The recovery histories of three oil fields were determined; the highest recovery was obtained in field 2 with dry combustion and in field 1 with wet combustion,...
Behavior and effect of SARA fractions of oil during combustion Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Karacan, C.O. (1997-01-01) In-situ combustion technology is considered to be an efficient one not only for heavy oil reserves but also for depleted light and medium oil bearing reservoirs. Unfortunately, the lack of better understanding of the process variables in terms of the conversion of oil during combustion and reservoir characteristics, as well as the costs, limits the more effective application of this technology. In this study, SARA fractions of two (medium and heavy) Turkish crude oils were separated by column chromatographi...
