JAPEX has succeeded in extracting shale oil in Akita Prefecture

Japan Petroleum Exploration Co. ( known as JAPEX) has succeeded in extracting shale oil from the Ayukawa oil and gas field in Akita Prefecture.
This company succeeded in obtaining crude oil by pumping hydrochloric acid into a shale rock layer about 1,800 meters deep to remove limestone that clogs cracks in the rocks
Interest in developing shale oil, or oil contained in deep underground shale rocks, has been growing globally, with a sharp increase in commercial production of shale oil and gas in the U.S.
For all of Akita, shale oil reserves are projected at 100 million barrels, worth nearly 10 percent of Japan’s annual oil consumption.
Congratulation this success!
