The characteristics of Fushun shale oil were analysed in view of its current status, as Fushun shale oil is now only being used directly as boiler fuel, and considering the market requirements for low-solidification-point fuel oil. Research work to find the way of producing such fuel from Fushun shale oil has been done. The methods of adding depressant, adding diluents and catalytic cracking have been tested. The results are discussed in this paper.
