OIL RESEARCH
WORK is BEING DONE,

Research work on oil shnlc is now
being conducted by the department
OF the interior, through the Bureau
of Mines. in cooperation with the
state of Colorado, the University of
Utah and the department of conser-
walton of the state of Indiana. The
object Of this work Is two-fold; first,
to determine the conditions OF retort-
ing that produce the highest yields
Of the best oil from various shales,
and second. 60 make a thorough
study If methods of refining shale
oil.
Research conducted by the Bureau
Of Mines at the Boulder laboratory.
in cooperation with the state of Col
orado. for the past year has been
with an experimental vertical retort,
a large horizontal retort and a small
assay retort.
The experimental vertical retort is
so designed that it gives results
which might be comparable to those
obtained from commercial retorts OF
this type. Experiments are being
made to determine the effects OF
time and temperature OF preliminary
heating, holding at various temper
atures. use OF steam in tho retort,
etc. a complete analysis is made
OF all the products obtained.
The results obtained with the hort
zontal type OF retort have not been
very satisfactory as 1t gives a lower
Weld of a poorer grade than that OBJ
tanned from other retorts.
Most of the refining experiments
OF the Bureau of Mines have been
conferred upon the refining Of gaso-
line or motor fuel from shale oil.
This work, which has been partly
completed, has shown that good
grades of these products can be pro-
duced.
Assay retort studies have been
made with typical American shaies.
in comparison with shales from the
foreign fields which are used in pro-
ducing commercial shale oil. This
work should have an important bear
ing on the question OF how far the
present oil shale practice in foreign
countries may be adapted for use in
this country.
At Salt Lake City. the problems
being studied are: The distribution
of sulphur and nitrogen in oil shale
and its products. the separation and

Determination Of the distribution
of sulphur and nitrogen involves the
distillation Of various shales from

may give important information re.

The separation and examination OF
kerogen, and the approximate and ul,

includes a determination Of the form

Tho process OF thermal decomposi

The various proposed theories OF the

formation of bitumen has been de,

IN closed tubes for long periods OF
time. 1t had previously been learned
that the decomposition of the or

place below the temperature at which
oil begirs to form. Valuable infor

"The special conditions now

On the samo point Mr.. C1app re-
ported as follows;
Some sort Of leasing was neces-

present lease exist. but physical
conditions arc such that the present
one appears to offer as many points
of wisdom. II not moro. than would
