This proceedings includes the papers presented at the US Department of Energy's Second Annual Oil Shale Contractors Meeting. The meeting was sponsored and hosted by the US Department of Energy's Morgantown Energy Technology Center and was held August 12-13, 1986, at the Ramada Inn in Morgantown, West Virginia. This year's meeting was attended by some 100 individuals from private industry, academia, research institutes, national laboratories, state and Federal Government agencies, and other domestic and foreign businesses. The purposes of this meeting were (1) to review and evaluate the current research in the Oil Shale Program, (2) to establish a forum for interchange of information and ideas related to oil shale, and (3) to assist the Department in planning future work. Utilization of the United States oil shale resources will not occur without the investment, involvement, and cooperation of both Government and private industry. Meetings such as this one are designed to provide industry with the results and significance of the Department's oil shale research. From the comments received the Program is providing industry with data and information useful toward development of an oil shale industry. The theme of this meeting was how to develop a successful Oil Shale Program. The following goals were established: To establish a national program, investigating the entire United States resource, east and west. To develop predicative models for all elements of process systems. To use the best manpower resources available to the program. Selected papers have been processed for inclusion in the Energy Data Base.
