Biography
Ana Jurkeviciute has completed her MSc in 2014 and she is pursuing PhD from Tallinn University of Technology from 2015. She has participated in scientific-technical conferences of students, Post-graduates and PhD students at Yaroslav State Technical University (YSTU). She is a laureate of the 68th conference of YSTU. In 2014 she took participation with poster presentation in the 34th Oil Shale Simposium in Colorado, USA. She has got a publication about synthesis of modified solid resorcinol-formaldehyde resins based on shale oil phenols in the journal ″Solid Fuel Chemistry″. She is the Master’s Degree Programme Director (Fuel Chemistry and Technology).
Abstract
Oil shales hold a special position among fossil fuels both by composition and by the role as energy feedstock. So called shale (synthetic) oil is extracted from shale deposits formed many years ago from plant and animal residues. In Estonia shale oil is produced by thermal processing of oil shale. It is a liquid organic mass with increased content of sulfurous compounds (up to 1.5). Method of catalytic hydro-genetion is one of the possibilities to get low-sulfur shale oil of high quality. At this stage the first step of desulfurization occurs. The desired fractions of the obtained oils can be directed to the second stage of hydrogenation similar to classical scheme of oil-refining. Consequently, shale oil can be considered as a perspective source of artificial liquid fuel production. For particular countries and regions based on available natural resources and economic condition production of synthetic liquid fuels may be effective both now and in the near future.

Abstract
Drilling is one of the phases of oil investigation, did after the prospecting stage, and includes every one of the activities done since the start of the well to its conveyance, (to the creation group). The target of this investigation is to examine and describe precisely the significant procedures performed amid the boring of an oil well. These are forms that include a high speculation and money related hazard, where wellbeing and effectiveness are catchphrases and significant for a monetary suitability. The right measuring of these procedures, the manner in which they are guided and run, turn into the way to a boring's prosperity. It is in this setting the investigation of methodology and the operational issues identifying with these procedures, turn out to be critical for the oil business, and for society, since oil is the fundamental wellspring of vitality today, adding to the definition of best practices and enhancement of the boring innovation. For a superior comprehension everything being equal, the primary hardware utilized in the penetrating of a well is, secured solitary in the wake of, boring activities are legitimately referenced. The boring system and the consummation of a well is, exhibited toward the end, which depicts in detail all activities, incorporating how to continue if there should be an occurrence of the abandonment of a well.
