Kalter, R J; Tyner, W E

An historical review and critique of federal agency procedures for leasing oil shale resources on public lands is provided. On the basis of this review and critique, issues of public policy are identified and possible alternative courses of action with respect to such issues evaluated. Major emphasis is placed upon the governmental revenue and oil production aspects of alternative leasing strategies and schedules. In this regard, both the type of leasing system and the provisions of the lease contract, itself, are evaluated. In addition, potential constraints on the achievement of specified leasing objectives are identified and attempts made to determine their implications for such objectives. Finally, possible requirements for market intervention by the public sector to meet stipulated national objectives involving energy supply are explored and alternative courses of action identified and evaluated.
