An in situ method of producing hydrocarbon fluids from an organic-rich rock formation is provided. The method may include heating an organic-rich rock formation, for example an oil shale formation, in situ to pyrolyze formation hydrocarbons, for example kerogen, to form a production fluid containing hydrocarbon fluids. The method may include separating the production fluid into at least a gas stream and a liquid stream, where the gas stream is a low BTU gas stream. The low BTU gas stream is then fed to a gas turbine where it is combusted and is used to generate electricity.

La présente invention concerne un procédé de production sur site de fluides d'hydrocarbures à partir d'une formation de roche riche en matières organiques. Le procédé consiste à chauffer une formation de roche riche en matières organique, par exemple un schiste bitumineux, à pyrolyser sur site les hydrocarbures de la formation, par exemple le kérogène, de façon à former un fluide de production contenant les fluides d'hydrocarbures. Le procédé peut nécessiter de séparer le fluide de production en au moins un courant gazeux et un courant liquide, le courant gazeux étant à faible pouvoir calorifique. Ce courant gazeux à faible pouvoir calorifique est ensuite introduit dans une turbine à gaz où on le fait brûler et dont on se sert pour produire de l'électricité.
