A VAST SOURCE OF U.S.
OIL STILL UNTOUCHED S
V* Many Americans have probably never heard
about oil shale —one of our country’s greatest
natural resources. Shale is a rock formation that
contains kerogen a solid that breaks down into
oil and coke when heated. There are a number
of shale formations in the U. S., the richest of
which is in the Green River Basin of Colorado
and Wyoming. This single 1000-square-mile de
posit contains three times as much oil as the
total proven crude oil reserves of the U.S.!
2. However, the big problem has been how to
extract the oil from this shale on an economical
basis. Union Oil research men have been experi
menting with shale oil extraction since 1943. One
of their accomplishments was the development
of a retort that can extract shale oil far more
economically than any previous method.
3. This retort —along with improved mining
and'refining techniques—has reduced the cost of
producing oil from shale more than most people
realize. And each year the cost of finding and
producing crude oil continues to rise. At some
time, then, it is probable that oil can be obtained
from shale at a cost competitive with crude oil.
4, When this will come about is anybody’s
guess. Hut one thing is certain: the American
people can be sure that this natural resource of
theirs will be developed at the earliest possible
date with the greatest efficiency only if private
enterprise is left free to do the job. For our com
petdive private enterprise system has demon
strated time and time again that it can develop
better products, for more people, at lower prices
than any method yet devised by man.
