BOM began investigation of shale-oil production during World War I. This research continued at a low level until the Synthetic Liquid Fuels Act in 1944 set up two major research installations at Rifle, Colorado, and at the Laramie experiment station in Wyoming. After 1956, the demonstration plant at Rifle was closed and the Laramie station (LERC) became the sole site of federal research, particularly after the Arab oil embargo. This bibliography of approximately 750 citations is arranged according to year. (DLC)
