Oil Shales

The Tertiary oil-shale deposits at Rundle in Queensland and of the Green River Formation in the western USA, together with Mesozoic deposits such as those at Julia Creek in Queensland, offer prospects of competitive recovery cost through the use of large-scale mining methods or the use of in situ processing.A framework for the classification of oil shales is proposed, based on the origin and properties of the organic matter. The organic matter in most Palaeozoic oil shales is dominantly large, discretely occurring algal bodies, referred to as alginite A. However, Tertiary oil shales of northeastern Australia are chiefly composed of numerous very thin laminae of organic matter cryptically-interbedded with mineral matter. Because the present maceral nomenclature does not adequately encompass the morphological and optical properties of most organic matter in oil shales, it is proposed to use the term alginite B for finely lamellar alginite, and the term lamosites (laminated oil shales) for oil shales which contain alginite B as their dominant organic constituent. In the Julia Creek oil shale the organic matter is very fine-grained and contains some alginite B but has a higher content of alginite A and accordingly is assigned to a suite of oil shales of mixed origin.Petrological and chemical techniques are both useful in identifying the nature and diversity of organic matter in oil shales and in assessing the environments in which they were formed. Such an understanding is necessary to develop exploration concepts for oil shales.
