Welcome to the Jordan International Oil Shale Symposium 2014
Oil Shale is growing as a global phenomenon around the world, as more companies and governments increase their investment in oil shale exploration. JIOSS 2014 will provide in-depth insights into the oil shale reserves and the latest developments in exploration and commercial timeframes in the Kingdom of Jordan.
Jordan's vast oil shale reserves have prompted large interest amongst the industry, considered as holding the world's fourth largest reserves after the United States, China and Russia, with an estimated 100 billion barrels of shale oil. The JIOSS is the only Symposium to gather key investors, senior government representatives, policy makers, IOCs, leading engineers and researchers to discuss the various stages of oil shale production in Jordan and the industry's top challenges, projects timeframe's and commercialization plans in the following years.

Welcome to the
Oil Shale is growing as a global phenomenon around the world, as more companies and governments increase their investment in oil
shale exploration. JIOSS 2014 will provide in-depth insights into the oil shale reserves and the latest developments in exploration and
commercial timeframes in the Kingdom of Jordan.
Jordanâs vast oil shale reserves have prompted large interest amongst the industry, considered as holding the worldâs fourth largest
reserves after the United States, China and Russia, with an estimated 45 billion barrels of shale oil. The JIOSS is the only Symposium
to gather key investors, senior government representatives, policy makers, IOCs, leading engineers and researchers to discuss the
various stages of oil shale production in Jordan and the industryâs top challenges, projects timeframeâs and commercialization plans in
the following years.
The inaugural JIOSS 2012 brought together over
200 senior level representatives from across
the oil shale industry, some of the leading
names offered their opinions about the potential
of oil shale in Jordan. Informative discussions
included advanced drilling technologies for oil
shale explorations and exploitation, facilitating
competitive oil shale utilisation around the world,
oil shale economics, investment and financing
challenges, schedules for commercialisation and
exploring the viability and future of oil shale.

Jordan field experiment â JOSCO
Jordan Oil Shale Company B.V. (JOSCO), a 100% Royal Dutch Shell
company has been granted a 22,270 km2 concession in Jordan, in
order to assess the potential of Upper Cretaceous/Paleogene Oil
Shale strata for production via Shellâs proprietary In-situ Conversion
process (ICP). Shellâs objective is to delineate one or more âsweet
spotsâ as well as to evaluate each âsweet spotâ for containment risk,
geomechanical risk and quantify the energy required to convert and
produce oil from the kerogen-bearing shale in a commercial project.
Shareen Yawanarajah, Jordan Front End Development Manager,
JOSCO, Jordan
Commercialization of an oil shale deposit
Surface processing of oil shale developments include mining, thermal
processing, upgrading and waste management. The complexity of such
projects can be overwhelming for most investors. A new approach is
required to ensure that progress is made and returns available as soon as
possible with the lowest risk profile. This sessions sets out an approach
to establishing an oil shale industry simply and relatively quickly. The key
benefits for the audience include 1. Give a guideline for a development
strategy in a new deposit 2. Make them aware of some of the pitfalls 3.
Provide an estimate of cost and duration of such an exercise.

Developing Jordan's first oil shale fired power plant: Project status
overview
Enefit is developing in partnership with YTL International Berhad

field oil shale fired power project in Attarat Um Ghudran. Which will
be the first of its kind in Jordan and relieve the Kingdom´s energy
dependence. The presentation will give an overview of the current
status of the oil shale fired power project and summarize the
key findings and outcomes (technical, economical) of the various
activities that are currently being performed
Mohamed Yacine Layachi, Power Project Manager, Enefit, Estonia
Selective oil shale mining
The most common method for rock breaking is drilling and blasting.
However various alternative mechanical excavation methods are available,
especially when mining sedimentary rock, like oil shale. Surface miners
should be considered as a good alternative for traditional drilling and blasting
technology for oil shale mining in many geological conditions. It could be
cost-effective or even an absolute alternative to drilling and blasting.
