Oil Shale Of The Rocky Mountain Region

The shales of the Rocky Mountain region have been the subject of a considerable amount of study by geologists of the United States Geological Survey, and several reports on them have been printed, but most of these reports, although several times reprinted, are no longer available for distribution. Therefore in the present report an attempt is made to include all of this information, together with that collected by the writer and others since the publication of the last previous report on oil shale.--Page 8.

This detailed study of the oil-shale industry provides a comprehensive overview of the geological, technological, and economic factors that shape this important sector. Hill, Gavin, and Perdew offer a careful analysis of the history and current state of oil-shale extraction, along with practical advice for managing the complex challenges it presents.
