“…Deposits of oil shales are known to exist in Colorado, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Indiana, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and other states [30,113,121,122]. The geographical distribution is shown in Figure 5.1 [ 30] while The term "undiscovered resources" is used in various Department of the Interior publications.…”

“…Thus, at an average gas occurrence Not all of these 24 QCF, however, are suitable to nuclear techniques. Much of the organic rich oil shale does occur in thin formations [30]. A substantial part of the gas (and shale oil) are present in the thick formations (i.e., exceeding 100-200 feet thickness The nuclear stimulation technique would also allow for a more elastic production schedule.…”

As a result of the Plowshare research effort, many suggestions have been discarded for technical reasons while others have been more clearly identified as long-range possibilities requiring still more data and further development. Other ideas have now been sufficiently developed and offer enough promise to warrant the type of pilotscale or prototype experiment needed to obtain precise information in an industrial framework.By the time such an experiment is seriously considered and proposed, there is a need for some general economic appraisal of the potential value of the application. In the course of research some economic information is usually generated; however, for the most part, the AEC has relied primarily on government agencies responsible for resource development and on industry for information and general economic evaluations. As a result, this information and analysis is scattered throughout different reports, and appraisals have often been made on different bases and with different assumptions and resource information. Since a number of these applications are now approaching a commercial technology level, it seems timely and desirable to make some effort to collect this information, put it on as consistent a basis as possible, pla...

“…Total oil reserves in known deposits of oil shale yielding more than 18.9 L of oil equivalent per megagram have been estimated at 636 billion m3 (Duncan and Swanson, 1965) and economically recoverable reserves have been estimated at 48 billion m3 (Donnell and Blair, 1970). Currently (1983), no significant production of shale oil has occurred in the United States; but several oil-shale conversion technologies have been developed and tested, which led to projections by the Office of Technology Assessment of shale-oil production goals of as much as 160,000 m3 per day by 1990 (Sladex and others, 1980).…”
