Oil shale boom in Kemmerer sparks new company formation
Local residents in Kemmerer have organized the Green River Oil Shale Company after extensive field tests near the Green River. The group plans a four two-ton retort facility with expansion, capitalized at 250 000, selling shares at 25 cents. The venture leverages a 500 foot shale ledge per US Geological reports and follows optimistic Interior Department findings on commercial feasibility of western shales.
