Do you guys know the difference between oil shale and shale oil?

There are two technologies for in situ retorting to produce the keragen(not oil) that can be processed into oil and is found in the Green River shale which is located in CO, WY, and Utah.

Exxon has "freeze wall" retorting and Conoco has "toe to heel" retorting but neither of these technologies is economically feasible.

As for the oil sands deposits(bitumen) interspersed within the Green River shale, that is proceeding on state land in Utah.
