Combined Hydrocarbon Leasing Act of 1981. Hearing before the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, United States Senate, Ninety-Seventh Congress, First Session on S. 1575, September 17, 1981

Book · Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 EST 1981

OSTI ID:5714151

The need to facilitate mineral leasing procedures and oil production from tar sand resources is the basis for S. 1575, which redefines oil so that oil and gas leases will be complementary rather than mutually exclusive. Witnesses at a September 17, 1981 hearing on the bill were supportive. The text of S. 1575 is followed by the testimony of the seven witnesses and additional material submitted for the record by the Wildnerness Society, which cautions that the environmental and socio-economic impacts of this infant technology are not known. The group suggests a prototype policy similar to the one for oil shale leasing. (DCK)
