"Without significant amounts of water Shell can strip out the light portions of the Shale Oil, leaving 85% or more of the oil in the shale. Their total production will be very small and it will be very costly."

Please explain the above. Heat the shale - breakdown the kerogen - precipitate the oil with air coolers - refine it else where. The residual is carbon that can be combusted to provide the heat - eg Paraho and Superior Oil circular grate.
