Shale Oil Feasibility Highlighted by U S Bureau of Mines
In the annual report director Van H. Mann ing states shale working is immediately important and could compete with oil wells. The study focuses on Montana Colorado and Utah deposits revealed by Geological Survey field work and notes potential abundant pure oil, with lifetime dependent on thickness continuity and extraction economics.

Properties and value of shale oil compared with oil sand
The passage explains shale and oil sand as sedimentary rocks saturated with oil, noting shale’s imperviousness to water and gas while oil sand allows penetration. It argues shale is less valuable than pure oil due to distillation costs, yet claims extraction incidents offset these costs, starting with a described drilling plan.
Gasoline Content Proves Large In Colorado Shale Oil
A Denver report details a Colorado shale crude test sent to the Cosden refinery near Tulsa. The test yielded 16 percent gasoline, 26 percent naptha benzine kerosene, 43 percent high grade lubricating oil, and 8 to 10 percent paraffin wax with 135 degree melting point. End point reached at 460 degrees. Additional cracking produced 13 percent more gasoline and 6 percent fuel oil with 8 percent loss.

Fuel bricks from shale deposits in new treatment process
Washington. A. G. Crane of Reno Nevada, inventor of a new process of treating oil shales, has given an initial description of his method. The process aims to convert shale deposits into usable fuel bricks, potentially expanding energy production and reducing waste from shale oil operations.

Shale Oil From Utah-Colorado-Montana-Nevada Deposits
Mr. Crane cites USGS data claiming one ton of shale yields 30 to 40 gallons of crude oil 30 to 87 pounds of paraffin wax 27 pounds of ammonia crystals 7 gallons of coal tar drips and 45 000 cubic feet of natural gas plus 1 percent nitrogen fertilizer value. He notes spent shale boosts wheat by 165 percent and that treating shale to make fuel bricks costs under 80 cents per ton.

Oil shale lands in Montana seen as large long term oil source
A western geologist argues shale lands in Montana offer an unlimited oil reserve, suitable location and transport, established mining and refining methods, and steady production. He asserts shale oil costs 50 cents to $1 per barrel, with fixed gas from retorting fueling operations, proposing a safe durable, highly profitable industry unlikely to decline like wells.
