;
Occidental Oil Shale, Inc., recently completed the demonstration of mining, rubblization, ignition, and simultaneous processing of two commercial-size modified in situ (MIS) retorts at its Logan Wash Facility near De Beque, Colorado. The retorts were constructed with an average rubble void of 18.5 percent in the low-grade shale (17 gallons per ton) at this site. Total product yield averaged 70 percent of the Fischer Assay oil-in-place in the target rubble in the two retorts.
