Oil shale
no
Oil rich Mississippian!
Sandstone is extremely porous and absorbs liquids like a sponge.. Shale is nearly impervious to liquids.
The mining of oil shale requires conversion of the solid hydrocarbons in the rock to liquid form, so that they can pumped or processed.This is done by heating the rock to a high temperature, and separating and collecting of the resultant liquid. This heating process is called retorting.

semi-arid conditions
Processing, mining, and waste disposal is expensive.
You don't make oil from shale, you extract oil from shale. The shale acts like a sponge, sometimes the shale is so porous that the oil can be squeezed or sucked out, otherwise it can be extracted by crushing and heating the shale.
there is limestone, shale,sandstone, coal, zinc, iron, gold, lead, oil/gas,mining

Shale oil is an oil distilled from shales and used as fuel
The reason that oil shale is not used to produce oil is because this is what keeps the oil well from collapsing after the oil is removed. If the oil shale were mined, the oil well would collapse into a large trench in the ground.

It does not matter where oil comes from it is bad for the environment shale oil is just a Les efficient source of oil.
Oil is not mined it is drilled except for oil shale which is mined. Shell in the past has mined for oil shale. Click the link.
