Difference between Kerogen and Oil shale

Kerogen vs. Oil shale

Kerogen is a solid organic matter in sedimentary rocks. Oil shale is an organic-rich fine-grained sedimentary rock containing kerogen (a solid mixture of organic chemical compounds) from which liquid hydrocarbons, called shale oil (not to be confused with tight oil—crude oil occurring naturally in shales), can be produced.

Similarities between Kerogen and Oil shale

Kerogen and Oil shale have 22 things in common (in Unionpedia): Algae, Asphalt, Carbon, Elsevier, Green River Formation, Humic acid, Hydrocarbon, Hydrogen, Natural gas, Nitrogen, Organic compound, Oxygen, Petroleum, Plant cuticle, Pollen, Redox, Resin, Science (journal), Sedimentary rock, Shale, Spore, Sulfur.

Algae

Algae (singular alga) is an informal term for a large, diverse group of photosynthetic organisms that are not necessarily closely related, and is thus polyphyletic.

Green River Formation

The Green River Formation is an Eocene geologic formation that records the sedimentation in a group of intermountain lakes in three basins along the present-day Green River in Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah.

Humic acid

Humic acids are the result of a severe chemical extraction from the soil organic matter, and recently their natural existence was jeopardized, since it is a product of the chemical procedure.
