Abstract
Mining oil shale in Colorado for the first commercial oil shale venture has been optimized by Colony in terms of the best mining method and equipment available today. A discussion of the progress toward optimization of mining by Colony and others and of the nature and extent of Oil shale in Colorado and Utah; leads into a recitation of the potential for improvements.
Some of the problems of the “yet to be” oil shale industry, with a look at yesterday, the status and activity of the industry today and the promise of tomorrow; provide useful information for the uninitiated.
