U.S. OIL SHALES
V TED THE
FUTURE SUPPLY
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9 Recent
investigations by tho U. H. geological
survey arn held by Its exports to In
dicate that In thn Rocky mountain
states "thero aro enormous quanti
ties of oil shales which can on mado
to yield hydrocarbon oils to a much
greater oxtcnt than wo can hopo to
obtain from our oil wells."
Tho shales aro said to constitute
a tremendous potential oil roservn.
"Tho oil shales of this country,"
says tho report, "contains enormous
quantities of oil, but large amount
of money will havo to bo Invested
before tho oil shale Industry become
of commercial Importance. Estimates
by various engineers of the cost of
a "complete retorting plant, handling
1000 tons dally, are between fir
000,000 and tr.,000,000,
"In this country tho oil-shale In
dustry can not bo developed over
night and probably can not attain
succoss until largo sums of money
have bMn spent In perfecting min
ing, retorting and refining method.
A company (o be successful, when
over oil-shale operations become com
mreclally feasible, must be ablo to
employ tho best technical, business
and engineering skill available, bo
prepared to operato on a large scale,
and be financially strong enough to
wait several years for any largo re
turn on the money Invested."
Tho report declares that it Is "an-"
fortunate that a largo number of the
many companies organised to deal
with oil shalo are devoting their eft
forts to stock selllnjc rather than
assisting In butldiaf a firm bails for
the Industry."
A summary of the report follews:
Thero are no commercial oll-shalo
plants operating In this country at
the present. time, although thoro Is
a well established industry In Scot
land. Many Amorlcan shale .deposits are
richer In recoverable oil than Scotch
shale now being worked, and pruN
ably nearly equal In nitrogen content,
which I a moasurc of recoverable
ammonia.
Market conditions for shalo pro
ducts arojess favorable in this coun
try than la Scotland.
Great quantities of American shales
are of grcator tblcknoss and bettor
suited for mining than Scotch shalo.
As yet no process for obtaining oil
from oil shale ha been used In -.c-tual
commercial pratclco In this
country.
Indication aro that tho United
States can not continue long to de
pend on domestic petroloum produc
tion to supply comptotoly ths de
mand for petroloum products, and
.that sooner or later our oil shalos
will have to be usod to holp supply
tho doflelt.
Tho oil shale Industry can not
hopo to supplant the potroloum in
dustry In a large nvsy for many years,
but will probably grow up from lo
cal Industries In favorable places
Costs of oil shale ..operations can
not bo reliably oatlmatod until com
mercial practlco In this country fur
nlshos tho necessary basic data.
Tho quantity, quality and value of
products and by-product to be ob
tained from oil shalo In this coun
try aro not known with any degree
of certainty.
Tho oil ahalo Industry Is a largo
scale, low-grado raw material man
ufacturing enterprise, requiring largo
capital, high technical and business
dustry and satisfactory mining, re
torting and refining processes worked
mle conditions become favorahlo for
tbo development of the oll-shalo in
dustry and satisfactory mlnlgn, re
torting the refining procossej worked
out and market established, there
should bo only ordinary buslnois risk
connected with tho industry.
