Project Profile
Value: Undisclosed
Location: Tarfaya, Morocco
Start-up Year: -
Following completion of the first technical study at the end of 2008, optimisation and field analysis took place during 2009, with SLE\'s oil shale plant due to be operational by the end of 2010. Through careful ongoing procurement, the construction budget for the project will be less than half the estimated US$4.6M.
Research indicates over 50 billion barrels recoverable (based on 62 litres per tonne) from this source and San Leon will implement an in-situ process for heat transfer to the shale pad at depth, and surface recovery of liberated kerogens and hydrocarbons.
Well A, Well B and Star 12 are hydraulically connected through a permeable zone from 191.00 to 197.62 metres below ground level (mbGL);
