Steam Distillation Reported Boosts Oil Yield
Salt Lake Tribune notes Otto Stahlman and University of Utah experiments on oil shale distillation. A steam heated reactor at 900 to 1000 degrees produces crude oil and segregates oil grades. Tests on Utah shales, especially near Elko, show potential commercial viability for western oil shales with an average crude oil yield per ton of shale around 45.

Oil Shale Deposits and New Extraction Claims Across Utah and Nevada
Eastern Nevada and Utah shale deposits are described as abundant with vast oil sands in the San Rafael swell and in Wayne and San Juan counties. Nevada’s Crane and Salt Lake City engineer J. B. Jenson announced new extraction processes. Early tests by Winchester show shale can yield from less than one to ninety gallons of oil per ton, with steam distillation increasing yield and by products like ammonium sulfate.
