Abstract: Exploratory laboratory studies of shale pyrolysis with argon plasma jets are described, and the yield is determined over a pressure range of 100 microns-1 atmosphere, a temperature range of 565–1017 °C, and a power-input range of 2.38–4.70 kW. The sample weight was 20 g with the granules ranging from 0.05 to 0.75 in. The maximum conversion period was 10 min. Chemical analyses of the sample and the yield are presented and the results are interpreted statistically. Potential technological uses of in situ shale conversion with plasma arc jets are discussed.
