Omnishale process (also known as the ''Petro Probe process'') is an ''in situ'' shale oil extraction technology to convert kerogen in oil shale to shale oil. This process is classified as an externally generated hot gas technology. The technology is developed by General Synfuels International, a subsidiary of Earth Search Sciences.〔 〕 ==History== The Omnishale shale oil extraction ''in situ'' technology was invented by Ron McQueen and developed and tested by Petro Probe and General Synfuels International. On 11 October 2005, a subsidiary of Earth Search Sciences Petro Probe acquired an unlimited license to use Omnishale shale oil extraction technology developed by General Synfuels International, Inc. On 15 August 2008, Earth Search Sciences acquired General Synfuels International and oil shale activities of Petro Probe were transferred to General Synfuels International. In 2009, General Synfuels International started a cooperation with Anadarko Petroleum.〔 〕 On 30 March 2010, General Synfuels International started construction of the test plant on the Anadarko-controlled test site near Rock Springs, Wyoming, in the Green River Formation.〔 〕 In April 2010, a $10 million Patriot's Oil Shale Technology Fund L.P. was formed to complete funding of the Phase 1 construction of the test shale oil plant.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Omnishale process」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
