Who We Are

We are a kerogen oil technology company committed to advancing the second-generation Paraho II™ technology for use on economically viable and environmentally responsible kerogen oil recovery projects. Our experienced technical team conducts testing, research and design work to support the development of commercial kerogen-to-oil production.

Shale Tech was formed in 2006 to continue the development of the technology needed for the kerogen oil industry. Our robust Paraho™ process was originally developed over 50 years ago and continues to be improved today at Shale Tech’s research facility in Rifle, Colorado.
