Researchers at the University of Bradford (UK) are proposing a method for increasing the yield of middle distillates (such as car fuel, jet fuel, and diesel fuel) from the refinery by applying catalytic hydrotreating (HDT) to the full crude oil, rather than the now common application of hydrotreating processes to oil fractions a (i.e.,

Shale oil production generates greenhouse gas emissions at levels similar to conventional crude oil production, according to a pair of new studies released by the US Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory. These are shale formations with low permeability and must be hydraulically fractured to produce oil and gas.
