Abstract
This chapter presents an introduction to shale oil and its effects on energy resources. Moreover, this chapter provides useful information about types of shale oil reservoir fluids along with some basic scientific concepts regarding genesis of liquids in shale pores. This chapter describes the methods of shale oil extraction. In addition, it explains classical thermodynamics and how we can include the effect of confinement in our Pressure–Volume–Temperature (PVT) calculations along with conventional and modified flash calculations. In this regard, several field examples are provided at the end of the chapter. In addition, it highlights the effect of confinement on critical properties of shale oil along with useful examples. Finally, at the end of the chapter, several useful problems are provided.
