I ran across an article; microwave, by Peter Kearl: co-founded of Qmast, has the world looking. Maybe those operators in the TMS: need to look into this. Safer method of extracting shale oil. They say it’s eco friendly and it produce clean drinking water. For those who have eyes let them see.
several websites have posted the article, here's one of them:

I read the article. It had to do with unlocking kerogen rich oil shale deposits.
Not shale oil formations.
Two different things.
As to the TMS, it has been pretty much a big bust for those who have tried it. It is certainly not economic at today's pricing.
