UTE commercial oil shale feasibility. Final progress report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5848544
During the past sixteen months, a concerted effort has been made to collect preliminary geologic, environmental economic data on six potential oil shale tracts on the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation. Briefly, the results of this work has indicated the following four points: (1) oil shale resources do exist on reservation lands that have characteristics similar to those planned for commercial development off the reservation; (2) indications from several oil shale development firms are that they would be interested in providing the Ute Tribe access to their synfuel technology for other considerations from the Tribe; (3) water rights and land titles of the Ute Tribe are more than ample for large scale commercial oil shale development; (4) a study of regulatory permits required for commercial oil shale development reveals an advantage for the Ute Tribe over private concerns in easing complex permit procedures and requirements, due to Tribal jurisdiction over development on reservation lands. The conclusion, at this point, is that the Ute Tribe is in a excellent position to opt for commercial oil shale development on the reservation if acceptable conditions exist in terms of economics and impact mitigation.
