Shale Oil Items From U S Bureau Of Mines Report
The report by Van H Manning, director of the Bureau of Mines, states shale deposits in Montana Colorado and Utah may prove commercially feasible to extract oil in competition with oil wells and that shale reserves are of immediate importance to the oil industry. The extract discusses deposit thickness continuity and estimated productive lifetimes based on oil percentage and exposure.

Oil shale and sand compared in rock oil extraction
The article contrasts sedimentary rocks shale and sand saturated with oil, noting shale’s water and gas imperviousness versus sand’s permeability. It discusses distillation costs, extraction incidents, and how these factors affect oil value and production plans.
Gasoline content proves large in crude shale oil
A Colorado shale crude sample tested at Cosden refinery in Oklahoma yielded 16 percent gasoline and 26 percent naptha benzine kerosene, 43 percent high grade lubricating oil, and 8 to 10 percent paraffin wax. Cracking naptha benzine and kerosene added 13 percent gasoline and 6 percent fuel oil with 8 percent loss. End point reached at 460 degrees amid encouragement for gasoline production. lubricating oil showed high value.

Shale Brick Fuel From Utah Fields Promises Cheap Heat
Mr. Crane cites USGS bulletins stating shale bricks can replace coal as a solid fuel, yielding 60 percent heat. One ton of shale contains cruze oil, wax, ammonia, coal tar drips, and natural gas. spent shale offers nitrogen fertilizer and a Wheat gain of 16 percent with treatment costing under 80 cents per ton.
