SHALE OIL EXTRACTIONSO, WHAT IS OILSHALE?Shale oil extracted by heating shale at 500 degrees in the absence of oxygen, known as RETORTING. This process escalates the manufacturing cost of shale oil as compared to the conventional crude.By an astonishing 66%.

OBSOLESCENT METHODHorizontal drilling.Pressurized injection of chemical fluid.Fracking of shales.Stimulated liberation of shale oil.TECHNOLOGY UNSEENCAUSE: The sole cause for concern is the contamination of domestic water supply by toxic fracking chemicals.

SOLUTION: *Adding additional reinforced steel casing. *Prohibition of drilling near aquifersENVIRONMENTAL HAZZARDSIndia has an oil production potential to 140 million tons/year for 100 years.Arunachal Pradesh having the largest shale oil reserves.Endeavours of Reliance,BPCL & other oil majors seek to invest.It would transform India from net importer to net exporter of oil.INDIAS ENERGY SECURITY
