- Nóta "The oil itself is still in a premature status, called kerogen. To transform kerogen into oil it needs to be heated up to 450 °C (pyrolysis). Very often, the kerogen is mixed with layers of already mature oil in structures in between the source rocks with low permeability. This oil is classified as tight oil, though very often the separation is unclear and the transition is fluent by gradual changes of maturity. In its pure state, tight oil is mature oil trapped in layers of impermeable rock of low porosity. Thus, tight oil extraction in general requires hydraulic fracturing techniques.
