DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6189165· OSTI ID:6189165

The oil shale program is directed to the development of advanced technologies for extracting shale oil from the large domestic resources. The overall goal is to foster development of an economically competitive and environmentally acceptable oil shale industry. A series of technology development steps must be taken by DOE, other government agencies and other governments and/or industry to achieve this goal. They include basic and applied R and D, proof-of-concept activities, first-of-a-kind field tests and associated commercial-scale activity. Technology status, research needs, program goals and program management of oil shales are addressed. 8 refs., 1 fig., 1 tab.
