Energy Policy of Morocco - Oil Shale

Oil Shale

Ten known oil shale deposits in Morocco account more than 53.381 billion barrels (8.4869×10^9 m3) of shale oil. Although Moroccan oil shale is studied since 1930s, and there have been several pilot facilities for shale oil production, there is no commercial shale oil production yet. The most important deposits are Timahdit (Middle Atlas Mountains) and Tarfaya (south-westernmost part of Morocco).

Famous quotes containing the word oil:

    No skilled hands
    caress a stranger’s flesh with lucid oil before
    a word is spoken
    no feasting
    before a tale is told, before
    the stranger tells his name.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
