I ran across an article; microwave, by Peter Kearl: co-founder 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 produces 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.
