Bonanza Oil Plant Test Set for Next Week
Ernest F. Goodner announces the Bonanza plant near Vernal will begin testing on Wednesday August 24 at the American Glibronite facility valued at $300,000. Located 50 miles southeast of Vernal, along the Rangely Salt Lake pipe line, the plant aims to produce 300 to 500 barrels of oil daily using a process that dissolves gilsonite into oil under pressure.
