Abstract: The invention relates to a method for treating oil sand. The steps consisting of cooling said oil sand to a temperature lower than the glass transition temperature of the bitumen by bringing said oil sand into contact with carbon dioxide in the solid state and applying mechanical energy to the mixture produced. Then melting the solid carbon dioxide in such a way as to produce a multiphase system. The multiphase system is then separated into at least one solid phase and at least one liquid phase. The bituminous phase is then recovered from the separated liquid phase. The invention also relates to a device for treating oil sand, especially designed for implementing said method.

Abstract: Method and plant for converting hydrocarbon feedstock comprising a shale oil, comprising a step of decontaminating, a step of hydroconverting in an ebullating bed, a step of fractionating into a light fraction, a naphtha fraction, a gas-oil fraction and a fraction heavier than the gas-oil fraction, the naphtha and gas-oil fractions being hydrotreated, the fraction heavier than the gas-oil fraction being conveyed to the decontaminating step. The method aims to maximize the yield of fuel bases.

Abstract: Method for converting hydrocarbon feedstock comprising a shale oil, comprising a step of hydroconverting in an ebullating bed, a step of fractionating by atmospheric distillation into a light fraction, a naphtha fraction, a gas-oil fraction and a fraction heavier than the gas-oil fraction, a step of liquid/liquid extraction of the fraction heavier than the gas-oil fraction, and a dedicated hydrotreating for each of the naphtha and gas-oil fractions. The method aims to maximize the yield of fuel bases.
