The Al-Balqa Applied University in Jordan is planning to organize its 3rd International Oil
Shale Conference (BAU-OSC-3) from 17 to 19 October 2023 in Jordan. The Conference
was deferred from being organized in 2021 due to the pandemic, COVID-19.

advancement and updates. This Conference would provide a platform for researchers,
technologists, businessmen and decision-makers to meet in one place.

of topics in oil shale knowledge, in addition to other related subjects such as:
•          Oil Shale Processing
