Conversion
Pls. check convert, it misses 000s (270000 bbl = 43 tons) NVO (talk) 20:20, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't see what is wrong? It says 270 thousands.Beagel (talk) 20:29, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, but on the left side only. Check the right side. NVO (talk) 03:07, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
 * indeed, 46000  barrel/day of oil products is equal to 2.7 milion ton/year.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Renevers (talk • contribs) 10:28, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Oil Shale versus Shale Oil
There appears to be a major confusion in terms "oil shale" vs "shale oil": "Oil shale" refers to kerogen. "Shale oil" is "tight oil", is crude oil in low porosity areas. These appear to be used interchangeably in this article.

Recommend checking ALL uses of "shale oil"
Correct to "oil shale (kerogen)" as needed. Clarify "tight oil ("shale oil") where that is actually referred to. See ANL Oil Shale DOE Oil Shale Research in the USA Investopedia Difference between Shale Oil and Oil Shale DLH (talk) 17:21, 21 November 2018 (UTC)


 * All three articles—oil shale, shale oil and tight oil—defines their substance and explains differences between of them. The term 'shale oil' has been used in the meaning of synthetic oil produced from oil shale since the work of Selique and Young in the 19th century. It is also terms used by scientific journals, including Oil Shale journal, and industries. It is commonly used nowadays also for tight oil. E.g.  definition of shale oil by Britannica: "shale oil, in fossil fuel production, either a synthetic crude oil that is extracted from oil shale by means of pyrolysis or a naturally occurring crude oil that is extracted from underground shale deposits by means of fracking (hydraulic fracturing)." However, international energy organisations, e.g. the IEA make distinctions in the terms. The analysis in Forbes U.S. Might Have More Oil Resources Than Saudi Arabia, But... The Difference Between Oil Shale and Oil-Bearing Shale says: "The oil that is being produced from these [Bakken and Eagle Ford] shale formations is sometimes improperly referred to as shale oil. ... This oil is properly called “tight oil“. ... The term shale oil has been used for over 100 years to describe a very different resource."  So, the article says that shale oil is produced from oil shale while oil froduced from shale formations called tight oil. Tight oil should not be confused with oil shale, which is shale rich in kerogen, or shale oil, which is oil produced from oil shales. Therefore the IEA recommends using the term 'light tight oil' for oil produced from shales or other very low permeability formations, while the World Energy Resources 2013 report by the World Energy Council uses the terms 'tight oil' and 'shale-hosted oil'.
