SUBSTITUTE FOR PETROLEUM READY When Petroleum Diminishes Oil Shale Will Take Its Place Washington, Jan. 4. — When the flow of that liquld gold known as petroleum gives sign of slacking, and as a consequence the nation's millions of automobiles and tractors and mo- tor husses seem likely to diminieh for lack of fuel, the far-stretching re- serves of ofl shale in the United States stand out as the most import- and recources of substitutes tor pe- troleum oils, says the United States bLurean of mines. These shales, reservoirs of oil, rreas of the country. Thore of the most economic importance occur in (Co'orado, Nevada, Utah and Wyom- i1g. Great arcas of black shale oc- cur, however, in \arious eastern states, notably Kentucky, Indiana and (thio, ond other sha'es are found in muny states. The great economie im- portance of oil shales is that when the fndustry is properly developed, the United States will have a new domes- ntapped enormous veritab'e underhe tic supply of mineral oils, which can-| not he cut off fa time of war, and which will always be ready to heip meet.the nation’s demand for oil. “There is good renson to be! that in the next several years the do- | meitic production of petroleum will while the demand for its on will increase,” the bureau tficiais declare; “and oil shales can 1l make up for the deficiency of crude petroleum as a source of re- fined mineral ofl products” Future of Oil Shale Industry The future of the oil shale industry n *his country will depend primarily upon the relative supply of, and de- mand for, petroleam products in the regions remote from the seaboards, aceording to the bureau. However, even under the most favorable comn- ditions, development of American shale oi! must be slow, Although this can be hastened by the employment of specialists, the proper kind of experimental work, and sin- eere cooperation and mutual helpful- ness among oil shale operators. To produce ofi from shales the in- dustry would have to approach the country's annual coal production, if a great demand s to be met.

These figures are based cn an assumption that the shale min- ed would yield an average of 12 gal- lons of oil per ton. The total quan- tity of shale to be mined, then, would reach 400,000,000 tons. This would also require investment of great sums of capital to make the shale oil industry one of commercial It is probable that the investment necessary for an oil shale retorting and refining plant will 3 proximate $3,000 per barre! of shale ofl daily capacity, bureau experts fig-| ure. The present apnual production of domestic petroleum is at the rate of over 400,000,000 barrels.
