Converting high impurity shale oil into high-value fuels

Shale oil

Getting the most value from shale oil continues to pose challenges for refiners around the world. Our hydrotreating and hydrocracking solutions are designed to handle shale oil and gas with high impurity levels and convert them to the highest value fuels, profitably. Superior process designs, performance catalysts and proprietary equipment ensure significantly longer cycle length while increasing yield and plant availability, reducing energy consumption and CO₂ emissions. Our portfolio also includes solutions for converting associated gas to value and the efficient and reliable production of high quality hydrogen, ensuring our customers benefit from all potential synergies with minimum environmental impact.
