The U. S. will bs producing about 1 million bbl/day of shale oil generally regarded as a mature level of development, in the 1980's barring problems with technology, capital, manpower, availability of federal leases, and environmental concerns. Geologists believe shale-oil deposits in the Tertiary Green River formation in the tristate region of Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming hold promise for commercial production. Many oil companies are exploring in northwestern Colorado's Piceance Basin. Plans for all the oil companies are told, but Superior Oil Co. believes its plant could produce low-sulfur No. 6 fuel oil, nahcolite, aluminum compounds, and sodium carbonate. Nahcolite may be converted to soda ash and used in conjunction with a particulateremoval device to scrub stack gas to meet environmental controls. (MCW)
