A PROCESS FOR PRODUCING HYDROCARBON FLUIDS COMBINING IN SITUHEATING, A POWER PLANT AND A GAS PLANT

摘要

An in situ method of producing hydrocarbon fluids from an organic-rich ro ck formation is provided. The method may include heating an organic-rich roc k formation, for example an oil shale formation, in situ to pyrolyze formati on hydrocarbons, for example kerogen, to form a production fluid containing hydrocarbon fluids. The method may include separating the production fluid i nto at least a gas stream and a liquid stream, where the gas stream is a low BTU gas stream. The low BTU gas stream is then fed to a gas turbine where i t is combusted and is used to generate electricity.
