    Oil shale is a controversial “unconventional” hydrocarbon resource that is poorly understood by the general public.  Contrary to its name, oil shale contains no petroleum but is instead a dense rock that has a waxy substance called kerogen tightly bound within it.  When kerogen is heated to high temperatures, it liquefies, producing compounds that can eventually be refined into synthetic petroleum products.
