1. India is not producing Shale Oil at this time. 2. Shale oil reserves in India are estimated at 15 billion tons: Assam and Arunachal Pradesh deposits 3. Potential findings include Naga Schuppen Belt and Assam-Arakkan Fold Belt 4. MECL of India will partner with BRGM (France) and DGH (India) to assess oil shale resources in three adjacent blocks 5. Retort structures be formed by a combination of explosive fracturing and mining. Hot air or gases and steam cause shale oil to be collected at the bottom of the in-situ retort where it can be pumped to the surface. 6. India will create projects that extract coal and oil shale deposits at the same time. Coal is found in the Barail Formation. Shale and coal have been found together. Rock-Eval pyrolysis has been used to produce oil from coal and shale, a scaled down retort process. Rock-Eval yields for coal and shale indicate the potential of 280 kgs of hydrocarbons per ton of rock. US technology is needed to create the retort. Currently, the shale is dumped as a
