The Cathedral Bluffs (CB) Project plans to extract shale oil from the deposit-rich Piceance Basin region in western Colorado. The current plans for the project are to use a combination of Union Oil Company's above-ground retorting technology and Occidental Oil Shale's underground Modified In Situ technology. The present design basis is for approximately 14,000 barrels per day of high quality synthetic crude. In July 1983, partners for the project signed a Letter of Intent with the United States Synthetic Fuels Corporation (SFC) for a total assistance package of $2.19 billion.
