Accelerated oil shale in situ research: a proposal for acceleration of the in situ oil shale gasification program
It is proposed that the Paraho Oil Shale Demonstration Project, located at the Anvil Points facility near Rifle, Colorado, be contracted by ERDA to accelerate investigation of process variables as part of the oil shale gasification program of the Laramie Energy Research Center. These process variables are concerned with optimizing the quality and quantity of gas and liquid products obtained from retorting oil shale. The total funding requested for the proposed contract program is $1.308 million for a 7-month program of work. The surface oil-shale retorting facilities at Anvil Points can be efficiently and economically utilized in LERC's present 5-year program to effect an estimated $5.3 million savings in total program cost and an eacceleration of the research program by at least 2 years.
