A RESEARCH APPROACH TO DEMONSTRATE TECHNICAL AND ECONOMIC BENEFITS OF SECOND GENERATION OIL SHALE TECHNOLOGIES - A BREIFING PAPER (DRAFT 1b)

Shale oil is a leading contender as a synthetic fuel alternative to petroleum. Since 1815, U. S. oil shale development has gone through four boom-bust cycles that have been directly related to the availability and cost of petroleum. The latest bust period which began in 1982, once again has disrupted the orderly commercial development of oil shale technologies.
